Yankee Doodle and variations. All those triplet figures are fine at a slower tempo. Making them smooth at tempo is really tricky. Given the lower string tension and gut strings, some figures are hard as heck to pull off! (Pun intended!) I have a recording of Tony Trischka playing this and he does a phenomenal job and the bones player ain't shabby a'tall. neither!......Brian in NC

I have been spending a lot of time in the Converse Analytical (in an
attempt to correct some awful right hand habits I have) doing the
Combination Exercises as well as the Hammer and Banjo Exercises. Great
treasure.

Also looking at source material for some of the lesser known "vocal"
songs in Briggs'. (Alabama Joe, Get Up In De Morning, Old Joe, etc.)

Of course, just trying to keep up a repertoire of old material ready
to go.
