Discuss the Banjo lesson: G Major Scale Study for Banjo

[Michael_Mark]

@Archie Yeah, minor tunes are when I frantically switch to guitar

[Mark_Rocka]

You think you could work in the D Waypoints lesson with all of this? Seems like completing that series with D and then maybe a lesson on how to tie them all together would go perfectly with this new lesson + a minor scale study.

[Archie]

Thank you @Mark_Rocka I was afraid to ask

[undone]

Happy to see a new Beginner banjo lesson. And especially one on this topic!

[BanjoBen]

Let us chat about this.

[Mark_Rocka]

Ben gave me permission to keep reminding him about it until he gets it done, otherwise I’d probably be afraid, too.

[Archie]

I remember him telling you to remind him. He just has too many balls in the air right now.

Yes! THat would be awesome. Been waiting for that one for a long time.

[Mike_R]

I’ll remind Archie to remind Mark to remind Ben

[Archie]

Noted @Mike_R Reminder @Mark_Rocka don’t you be forgetting now.

[Archie]

Hey Y’all can someone remind @Mike_R to remind ME to remind @Mark_Rocka to remind @BanjoBen so he doesn’t forget he has to do somethin. Now what was it he had to do ? @Mark_Rocka I’ve forgotten already.

[Shaky_loves_banjo]

HAHA LOL @Archie Sounds like an old man is losing his memory

[Archie]

Much much more than just my memory

[Shaky_loves_banjo]

Yes yes @Archie. I know, you can’t play as good as JD Crowe. But, suck it up. Neither can any of the rest of us.

Such a simple exercise but such a valuable lesson. Years ago I fashioned a similar version to limber up my left hand before playing but yours is so much more expansive and useful. Thanks a bunch.

[Mark_Rocka]

“It’s a joke…”

LOL!!!

Paintballs! Take cover!

[Archie]

I don’t know why it is but the thing I hate most about playing banjo is learning scales they are so boring!

So what on earth motivated me to click on this link today and spend the last six hours working so attentively through this lesson on scales and astonished to find myself really enjoying this particular lesson over others that cover this same topic.

Can anyone come up with a reasonable explanation of why after so many other times I have tried to get my head round scales, this lesson has inspired me to study and actively enjoy practicing these scale exercises?
