Wow this lesson is awesome @BanjoBen thank you so much!! I love playing up the neck, but the only problem is I can’t play on the tenth fret of the second string. It doesn’t buzz, but it just doesn’t sound very good All the other strings and frets are fine though. Any advice on how to fix that?
Discuss the Banjo lesson: Lonesome Road Blues
Oh no! Well, I’d need to hear it at least. Can you make a video?
How do I upload the video?
Put it on YouTube, Vimeo, or any other free hosting service then paste the link here.
Ok thanks😁
I might have to do it later today like at maybe 2:00 p.m. because I need help from my mom to do that.Sorry
Now i would’nt class myself as advanced more intermediate but i really want a go at this or at least a few of the breaks…
Do you think i should or continue with the intermediate lessons
Thanks
Hi Lee once you’re through that beginner learning path take a stab at any lesson. Don’t be put off by the label Advanced all it means is the licks are a bit more challenging. Go for it.
All right here you go.
Ok thanks pal
Thanks, @Siah! It sounds like to me that you don’t have enough relief (distance b/t strings and frets) and it’s buzzing on one of the fret wires above the 10th. We need to raise your action a bit and get more relief. Can you watch videos 5 and 6 in this course? https://banjobenclark.com/courses/banjo-setup-with-steve-huber
Try doing some minute coordinator rod adjustments, just very small adjustments, and let us know what happens.
Hey @BanjoBen, that did not work, but I may have not done it right, I am not sure. Is there anything else you want me to try? Thank you so much for helping me.
I just can’t say for sure without playing it or working on it myself, sorry!
Ok thanks anyway for your help!
Hey Ben, This is an old lesson but I keep coming back to the melodic break. Can you discuss a little bit of the theory behind the choices passing through measures 57 to 60 ? Thanks.
Superb arrangement and huge fun to play - I am having difficulty tracing down any media with Alan Munde playing this arrangement - any folks out there help?
Not sure if this is the same arrangement but it’s really cool:
