That’s a tough one alright. I tried it a few years back but never got through it. I take my hat off to @Mark_Rocka who showed us all it can be done.
Discuss the Banjo lesson: Peaches & Cream: An Alan Munde Tribute Lesson
Maybe that means you’re just that much better now than you were then.
maybe, but P&C i seem to be able to always play it no matter how long its been since the last time. O Come All Ye Faithful there are licks that i always have to take the time to brush up on. So who knows.
I had a customer cancel on me today, so I had some time to get a video while I practice. This one is proving tough to play right consistently. There’s one particular roll in the B part that, no matter how many times I isolate and practice it, my fingers want to play it backwards half the time.
Anyway…
That. Was. Fantastic. This has become my favorite banjo tune and you nailed.
Wow! Great job! I never did learn the second half… I don’t work on banjo as much as I used to.
Thanks @Michael_Mark, @Brent.H, and @Archie. There is something special about this tune, isn’t there?
Sure is. my friend!
As usual, outstanding job. Consider pulling off the other direction (a push-off) in the B part so that your middle finger is already heading toward its next note.
Thanks! Nice tip. Will start working on that today!
Reporting back after putting Ben’s advice into practice. Not only is it easier to get to that next note, kicking out in the proper direction instantly corrected a problem I was randomly having with muted notes in that section of the song.
THIS is why this forum is so valuable. I would have kept practicing it my way and remaining frustrated. Ben saw a problem I hadn’t even mentioned and fixed it with one sentence. That’s gold.
Thanks again, Ben!
Checking in here is like keeping your gold(or silver) membership polished.
Nice!
Two goals after Cabin Camp. Learn Salt Creek, since that was popular and I drew a blank when it came up. Not to tough, still got work to get it up to speed, but i’ll get there. Goal two, try Peaches & Cream. I know it’s over my pay grade, but I love it. A part is doable, off to a decent start on it. B part, not sure. @Mark_Rocka that was impressive, I’ve gotta say. I like the melodic touch on the beginning of the second A part. I’m not good at single string
Hey! Someone noticed. Thanks!
Yeah, it’s way easier to play and I can make it sound better than the single string picking.
