About 4 months ago my girlfriend and I were on a hitchhiking adventure across the great United States. We were passing through Portland and I found and bought a modern yet old and rusted made in china banjo. She had a violin so it seemed to fit. I did a lot of finger picking on the guitar so I thought a switch into bluegrass would be fairly easy. Boy was I WRONG. Yet about a week into owning my first banjo I found a street musician who was playing clawhammer style. So I began to fiddle around with it on my banjer. Instantly I fell in love. I have been playing hours on end everyday since up until about a week ago.
I am not great at picking things out by ear. A talent and skill I am working to hone. Yet in the meantime I would love some good tabs/ video w/tabs that I can play with. I have been watching the MATC videos on youtube. Yet I am at a stand still there. I just want some clear, challenging tabs. It seems really hard to find for me. The ones I find are either way too complex (I'm still not too sure what a skip note is) or way to simple. I bought a book recommended by folks from this site but it too was way too simplistic. Anyone have any recommendations of where to go for some good tabs? I tried rocket science banjo.
Here is a video of me running through a few tunes I found on youtube/ EZfolk.com Figured it might help recommending if you knew where I was exactly in my playing level.

Any help/ advice is appreciated.
