Keep on the Sunny Side

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

I love building breaks that interpret the melody of a tune in a unique way, and that's exactly what we have here! This solo is not too difficult, but it's got some tricks that will keep you on your toes and turn that frown upside-down!

    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

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

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.
