This lesson is part of a course under development teaching how to play by ear. It focuses on finding the melody to create solos. But rather than learn what MORE we should do, a good approach is to learn how to simplify melodies & the fretboard. This was recorded as part of the October 2024 Virtual Banjo Camp.

Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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.

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

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
