This tune has been done at speeds from the super slow one that was played in old cartoons - you know, the one with the buzzard with the big Adam's apple - to fast enough to melt your strings. This version has lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs to help speed it up to Bluegrass tempo. Their placement fits the rhythmic flow that I want, but you may need to change them to fit your own feeling for the tune.
