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. gif

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. :rofl:

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:

Way cool. Lots of bits in there from Ben’s lesson, but lots of unfamiliar stuff, too. I may have to spend some time studying that video.
