Default Jerry Reed suggestions to learn

Been working on Jerry Reed's "Blue Finger" and have learned a lot from it. I'm ready to tackle another Jerry Reed tune and wonder if anyone has any good suggestions of tunes of his to learn. (Purely instrumental, no singing.)

Well, if you don't already know it, "The Claw" perhaps.

Definitely Jerry's Breakdown. It really gets your fingers moving, and it's pretty easy to learn. I learned it on my nylon string a few days prior to receiving my D-28 last year. It's a thrill to play, and shouldn't take more than a day or two to learn, if you go all in.

Stumpwater is a good one, fair number of lessons out there on youtube etc. I've been doing a truefire workshop with Brooks Robertson and working on that as some 'supplementary' material.

Jiffy Jam and Drive In are relatively easy to learn.

"Twitchy"
One of my favorite Jerry Reed tunes.

Here's Chet and Jerry playing it:

And "Baby's coming home"

Here's Chet and Paul:
