How to Play in C!

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

Can you learn to play banjo in open C position? Yes you CAN! I created this lesson as an introductory (but certainly not shallow) guide to get you kickstarted playing in the tremendously fun key of C. We'll use a 3-level version of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" as our example, but the point is not to learn the breaks—rather, the actual process behind writing them.

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
