Oh, Susanna

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

This is a great basic version of the classic, "Oh, Susanna!" I actually teach two solos. The second solo adds in some basic melodic licks that anyone can begin to learn!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

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

    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.
