I think this version of this quintessential old-time piece is a great intro to tab reading (without even worrying about the clawhammer stuff) - it`s also a perfect intro to the clawhammer technique ... but now I think I'm going to have to get me one of them banjoleles!

The idea here is that the four tabs are a progression from picking just the simple melody, to adding in pulls, hammers and even thumb drops.  It also has the simple chords so the less intrepid can join in.
