Like so many of the great old-time fingerpicking numbers, “John Greer’s Two Step” is a tune composed on the banjo, for the banjo.

And also like so many of the great old-time fingerpicking numbers, it’s perfectly suited for solo porch pickin’.

It comes from the personal repertoire of Hobart Smith, one of my all-time favorite musicians. The first time I heard this tune, I had to learn it. Right there. Right then.  

If you feel similarly upon hearing it, then you’re in luck!
