    I am learning to play (but I am old) and can’t figure out how to play the melody by watching. Is there any way you can put just the melody part in writing – showing the left hand and the right hand strings. If I could just learn to play this song I would be happy. I have your Goodtime banjo that I got from your factory when I went there a few years ago. Thanks, BobP
