Who said you can't play a sad song on the banjo? There are days when even the banjo can't be happy.
I haven't practised this one at all; I just felt inspired to play it today. After I play the plucked intro, I put on a rubber violin mute for the tremolo part.

Here's a video of a Persian Setar player demonstrating a very similar technique of finger-wiggle tremolo: http://youtu.be/o9GjxNOoSiM?t=8m11s
Awesome skills. I need to keep on working on mine as my endurance started to break down after about 2 minutes, which is when I started to sound choppy and making mistakes.
