Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Another must know in Bluegrass circles. A great beginner/intermediate level lesson for those who want to learn or brush up on Banjo style rolls. Two versions of the solo are taught, one in the Banjo style of Earl Scruggs and the other an upper range solo that’s chock full of Josh Graves licks. If you hate one, then learn the other. If you hate them both, please move along and thanks for playing.
32 minutes of instruction along with 2 great rhythm tracks as well as PDF tab. Enjoy and start turning heads at the next jam.
Not too hard at all but a great deal of fun!
