Target Note Timing

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

This lesson is from when I taught my most recent Virtual Cabin Camp! The idea is to spruce up your playing by moving your target notes back or forward in time. All great players do it, and many banjo students don't realize what they're hearing, or why they love it so much.

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
