Salt Creek- Advanced

banjo advanced Free lesson

In this lesson

You won't be swimming in the banjo world for too long before you drift off in Salt Creek, and this is the cannonball of all versions. This break has it all...Scruggs style, melodic runs, chromatic licks, and single string switcharoos. You might wanna put on the ol' life jacket at first, but it won't be long before you're doing back strokes in this one.

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

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
