Here is the theme song from the Beverly Hillbillies “The Ballad of Jed Clampett”.
This song tends to have a love-hate relationship with most banjo players but that doesn’t diminish its genius. Classic Earl, deceptively simple yet brilliant.

The tune is played out of the G position with the capo at the second fret (key of A).

I’ve included the tab for the D licks in measures six and seven since they can be a little tricky.
