"Wildwood Flower" Instruction Tutorial for 5-String Banjo

By request: This is an instructional tutorial lesson teaching my version of the traditional public domain tune "Wildwood Flower" (originally named "I'll Twine Mid the Ringlets") on five-string bluegrass style banjo. Hope you enjoy it. As usual, I take it lick by lick, then put it together slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and guitar chords.
Free tab and play-along tracks at different speeds are available at my website, littlerockbanjo.com.

    Hi Bill, I have just bought a nice banjo and this is the first tune I have selected to learn. I am a tender age of 73 and live in the UK so a big hello brother and thank you for taking the time teach the banjo.

    I am definitely diggin' on this banjo playing. You are an precious resource with the way you break it down and progressively up the pace. The song blossoms in front of me. Terry

    Thank you for this video. It’s easy to understand and I like the diagrams for each section. It’s most appreciated. I grew up with this song and I’m going to finally learn it, I hope, I’m sure. This is great!!

    The split screen and tab at the bottom is great!! Keep it up. I bought Flatt and Scruggs album, Foggy Mountain Banjo (Yes, I found a CD and count myself lucky to have found it.) and I would appreciate your video instruction on all songs from that album...that you haven't posted already.

    Thanks, but can you play the tune first in real time so we can get the tune in our head or you don't think it would help?
