[Musicians] Danceability of versions of the same tune (Sleepy-Eyed Joe)

[Meg Dedolph]

Hi Jim,
I think that has to do with the instrument Blake is playing the tune on. I
think it's easier to play a tune with forward motion and drive when you're
flatpicking a single-line melody than when you're fingerpicking a full
arrangement on a guitar.
Have a great weekend,
Meg
