Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 12:50.
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching the popular song "You Are My Sunshine," a song "written by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell and first recorded in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana because of its association with Davis, a country music singer and governor of the state..." (Wikipedia)
On this video I teach my version of the tune lick by lick, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay.
I have posted this teaching video for instructional purposes only and, in my opinion, it constitutes fair use:
"The fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
Free tab and play-along tracks at different speeds are available at my website, littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy. Any singing I do along the way is for reference only, obviously. This is not a cover video of the song.
