My cover of the classic Scruggs tune, Foggy Mountain Breakdown on the bluegrass banjo. My capo is on the 3rd fret and my 5th string spike is on the 8th fret. I’m not gonna pretend that this didn’t take close to a million attempts to get right because it did, lol
Thanks to Flatt & Scruggs for inventing the tune, mainly Earl Scruggs. For those of you weirdos who want to know exact details: I’m playing a fender FB-54, presumably with a mahogany resonator. I use Ernie Ball picks for my middle and pointer finger and a heavy herco pick for my thumb. I’m currently using D’addario medium guage strings, a D’addario capo and a pen cap for a spike (look up «“5th string banjo pen lid spike ”, it’ll show up)
