For enthusiasts of early banjo
Rattlesnake Jig
A study of this tune from the Converse Analytical method of 1887. Of particular note is the motion of the right hand, using the marked "Combinations" of F.B Converse. This is indicated by the solid black line above the notes. This tune was also found in 1860 in the Buckley Method, but lacking the combination marks. It did, however, have good fingerings for the right hand (x and 1). They make a lot of sense seen in context with the black lines.

Thank you for the demonstration Tim, The slow version is so helpful when trying to get the rudiments down. Then of course you get the true feel of the song when it is followed up by the song being played at normal speed. Very Helpful!

This is so great Tim!
(also called Hoop de Dooden Doo?)
The 'normal' speed one is like Alvin and the chipmunks speed to me. ;D
