This lesson is part of a course under development teaching how to play by ear. It focuses on finding the melody to create solos. But rather than learn what MORE we should do, a good approach is to learn how to simplify melodies & the fretboard. This was recorded as part of the October 2024 Virtual Banjo Camp.
