Summary: Two-Finger Picking; Several varitations , including some tune variants, one of which I learned from Jack Childress, my Old-Time banjo mentor many years ago, and another which I learned as a child. The first four verse/choruses are Index finger lead, followed by a version (based on Jack's playing) which uses a downward brush on beats two and four, simulating the clawhammer version which Jack played. The remaining three verse/choruses, starting with the up-the-neck part, use a thumb lead. At times these may sound a bit like three-finger bluegrass picking, but they are in fact two-finger, with a "stuttering" effect achieved by alternating lead fingers every three notes. The pattern remains the same (TITI) but a melody note is played every third note
