Leather Britches

banjo advanced

In this lesson

Leather Britches is a lively fiddle tune in G that we're gonna try our single-string hand on. We also have a bit of melodics in the B part, but this one is definitely a single-string workout!

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

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

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

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

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
