Hi!

Well, I'm trying to play this great song on the banjo, though I can't figure out how does Crit play it on the record version. I know the chords, that the banjo is capoed at 2nd fret and that he plays forward rolls, though it doesn't sound like anything I try.

I found a video named "Wagon Wheel Instruction for banjo" that helped me a little, though I think Crit plays the chords different, and maybe the picking is different too.

Does anyone know how does he play the chords? And the picking?

Thanks!

I wasn't able to find an honest-to-goodness banjo tab for Wagon Wheel, but there's some good discussion that can be found here:

It includes some suggestions for the specific rolls used. The videos I saw on youtube aren't terribly accurate if you're trying to play like the recording.
