I have to be honest. I hate tab. I never had the patience to take the time to read it
I have learned a few things from it , but not very much
But I know that alot of folks learn from it and Every little bit helps.
So I thought I would try and write a little bit down for you all.
I have a student (8 Years old) who is learning this now. He's doing a good job so far.
I would say this is pretty close to the Bill Monroe version
For you beginners, you can steal some pretty good Monroe licks out of this even if you don't Learn the whole song
This is the Kick off and first break I will ad a few more breaks to this at some point .
