Come inside Cabin Camp with my advanced banjo class to learn some boogie woogie banjo backup! What’s great about this approach is that the licks are all “closed” which means we can take them to any key or chord we need!
Yeh Hmn Not Bad!
Thanks for reminding me @BanjoBen I have Eddie’s DVD and haven’t checked it out in a long while.
@BanjoBen would it be appropriate to use this in Nine Pound Hammer? Thanks for the lessons, they really are a huge help.
You bet! Not the whole song of course, but for a few measures here and there it would really liven it up!
Thanks Ben.
I’m doing the barreing with my ring finger and all the notes ring clearly but when I add the hammer ons my ring finger on the 4th string deadens the third string hammer on. I’ve tried moving my thumb and ring finger positions but not working so far
Keep at it! Try curling that ring finger some more.
Today its getting better, Im trying to curl my ring finger more without twisting my wrist in an awkward position. but like you say keep at it. Kind of like learning Fshape on a guitar, takes perseverance. Thanks Ben
Hey @BanjoBen revisiting this lesson. Can you explain how you do that vibrating choke (adding licks) I just can’t seem to get my head round what you are doing to make it ring the way it does. When I try it just falls apart. Is there a set number of mini chokes you aim for before the note dies?
No I do not have a set amount of chokes. You can post a video of you trying it to see if I can diagnose it, but it’s most likely that you’re not applying enough pressure.
Unfortunately I am no longer able to create videos that’s why I haven’t posted one in a long while.
Gotcha. Well, I just imagine that a fire ant is on my fretboard and I’m squishing the heck out of it.
It had to be an insect didn’t it
