Thank you so much! Honestly, it’s not a complicated arrangement. It’s just chord-melody expressed in repetitive finger rolls that complement the beat. Though I’m obviously not a remotely accomplished vocalist, at the point that I’ve repeated the chords long enough to establish muscle memory, the plucked melody actually helps me sing. Though I played for 4 decades, I was never able to sing along with the 5-string banjo because I’d learned every tune from tablature and (sadly) my brain “thought” in tab rather than in “music”. YMMV
Excellent arrangement as always! I'm amazed at your ability to play these complex arrangements and sing at the same time !
