Nine Pound Hammer- Advanced

banjo advanced

In this lesson

I've done a basic version of the bluegrass classic, and had an overwhelming response to do an advanced version. Here it is! This is a great version because it really works in some melodic ideas while presenting the melody in a different way. I know you'll enjoy it!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

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

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