Devil's Dream

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

This is one of the first banjo songs I learned, and though it's in the intermediate category on the site, it's great for all players. This is a melodic arrangement, and it's broken down into parts that are basic and parts that are more advanced. Beginners can take the basic parts and combine them to make a whole solo, while more advanced players can steal some of the trickier melodic licks in the second half of the A and B parts! Enjoy!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
