Danged if you ain't right about that. I always thought this was one of those tunes you had to just grin and bear it. But a little snap just free's the thing up.

No, not all. Check out page 93 also. Lots of those examples there.<br />
The Nawth was fruitful. I want to be the full time mascot.

I guess I don't fully understand what you're saying here. "Direct plants of the hand" What is that? You're telling me I should be making a pull-off for the 1st string notes? That's crazy talk! ;-)<br />
<br />
I do enjoy playing HJ, it was one of the first tunes I learnt. I don't recall having any difficulties...but it was a while back.<br />
<br />
How was the Great Nawthern Escape?<br />

Good call Tim! I don't have much to add but to say this is definitely one of the more interesting and distinguishing figures of early banjo technique. The Buckley book, with its lack of fingerings can be reasonably informed by both the Converse and Rice (e.g., Buckley: Campbell's Jig [pg 24] and Jim Crow Jig [pg 21]). I love talkin' about structural elements!

I struggle with fingering all the time (my left hand). I completely agree with you, especially about the pulls. Once I started pulling the Bs in the second measure everything else fell into place. It makes sense to thumb the other notes. Exactly what do you mean by "plants of the hand"?
