This is the banjo POV for a classic Christmas carol in the key of G! PickAlong with me!

These Pickalong lessons are GREAT! I learned so much in this 2:35 video.

  • It’s a slow tune making it easy to follow and hear everything

  • It’s a great example of proper vamping technique

  • It explains when and why we vamp

  • It’s a great example of rolling backup both up and down the neck

  • It explains when, why and where we use rolling backup

  • It’s a great example of playing a simple melody and adding rolls to create a break

Ben, you hit it out of the park with the Pickalong lesson idea!

Thanks

Thank you so much for that feedback! I think I’ll do some more Christmas tune Pickalongs for December!
