This arrangement is loaded with not only a banjo solo of the song but sections where you play accompaniment. This gives you an opportunity to learn a useful rhythm pattern and a moveable chord shape to take you up and down the neck. It is a level two arrangement so it is suggested for second year banjo students. In this lesson you are given a full demonstration of the song at two different speeds followed by a detailed โ€œby earโ€ lesson over every lick of the arrangement. At the end of the lesson there are backing tracks at two different speeds for you to practice and perform with.

Bill Brown began teaching music when he was in middle school alongside his mother, who was a respected classical piano teacher (Piano Teacherโ€™s Guild Hall of Fame Recipient). In the mid 1980s he started recording lessons for his students to take home to learn โ€œby ear.โ€ He discovered that learning songs without any print or video helped his students develop their ability to pick out other songs โ€œby earโ€ as well. The By Ear catalogue has rapidly expanded till now it includes over 1400 song lessons for more than a dozen instruments. Brown resides in South Georgia with his wife, also a music teacher, where he teaches and records lessons in his own private recording studio.
