Description

Expand Your Bluegrass Banjo Vocabulary!

In this course you will Learn many of the essential techniques and musical ideas that have helped me in my 20 year career as a Bluegrass Banjo Player. You will learn standard Bluegrass tunes that are played at all of the jam sessions and Bluegrass Festivals. Tunes such as, Train 45, Long Journey Home, Red River Valley, Dark Hollow, Arkansas Traveler and more. You will learn variations of commonly played licks that occur in most tunes. You will Learn how to combine scales with roll patterns so you can Improvise and create your own solos. I will show you many ways to practice with the metronome so you can improve your tone and timing. You will learn different Intervals such as thirds and sixths and how to use them with rolls in order to help you understand the neck as a whole. I will discuss how to play up the neck solos using partial chords so you can play exciting up the neck solos! You will also learn how to play Backup and use movable chord positions so you can jam with others. This course features multiple camera angles so you will have a clear viewing experience. There is also Tablature and other resources included so you can follow along note for note. With regular practice, I know this course will help all who study the material presented in this course. The most important thing is to have fun! Enjoy and keep picking!
