Banjo Lessons for the Adult Beginner
Clawhammer Banjo Tune and Tab of the Week:
“LOST GIRL”
(RELATED: The tab-walkthrough for this tune is now available in the Breakthrough Banjo course, which you can now enroll in for FREE for 30 days. Click here to get started.)
Up this week is a rock solid fiddle tune in the friendly key of G.
This particular rendition of “Lost Girl” appears to have first entered the old-time canon by way a couple of icons of Kentucky fiddling – John Salyer and Emmett Lundy.
It’s rollicking and peppy, and a great one for kicking up the energy in a jam.
Relatedly, I’ve played it on the faster side here, but feel free to play it at whatever tempo suits your ears and fingers (there is also a Brainjo level 2 version available inside the Breakthrough Banjo Vault).
