I tried to post Youtube links but the post was taken down because apparently one cannot post a link in their first 3 posts to avoid Spam. I apologize again for the likely noob question, and for incorrectly naming anything (like I'm not even sure if "strumming pattern" is the proper way to define a Bum-Ditty, or not) I've watched a few YouTube videos playing the song, like Travis Boudreau's, but even with slowing down the speed I just can't seem to understand how to nail down a good rhythm / strumming pattern with these songs. In Banjo, am I supposed to closely follow a strumming pattern and repeat, or can I strum where I see fit?

The first variation is focused on Banjo Rolls/Licks in Open Position. LDSB is the main reason why I purchased a banjo, so I have been trying to learn a few of theirs songs like "When I went Down to Georgia," The Mountain," and "Bring Back Someday." I understand the chords, and I can hear most of the hammer-ons and slides, but I am struggling to really nail down the rhythm of most songs.
