Stanley Brothers Original "Billy Strings Cover"

Great original from the Stanley Brothers covered by Billy Strings.

Here's the guitar pro file.

It has some good cross picking that is attainable with some committed daily practice.

If you put in the work you'll get it.

I found the best way to learn this is kick it down to 50% speed. As you start getting 

a handle on it and can play it smooth at that speed up it to 75% speed. 

100% Billy Strings speed is laughable because he is just so good. I tried playing dust in a baggie at 100% and I don't know if I'll ever get there.

75% is good for me haha.

@rinny51 He is a beast. I definitely can't play it that fast.

That was a great rendition of that classic. Loved the mandolin, too.
