Discuss the Banjo lesson: Upgrade Your Vamping

[john.rogers19]

Is the Jam track available on “Banjo Ben” somewhere? It looks very useful and a fun way to learn. (Tired of listening to myself all the time … LOL)
If not, what do you recommend?
For making progress on these ideas, what’s a good progression in practice speeds? Ben started at 50. What would be a reasonable end goal?

Hi @john.rogers19 If you scroll down below the video you’ll see MP3 files which you can download and playback using an MP3 player such as Audacity

Audacity ® | Downloads

Not sure if @Mark_Rocka 's new Jam App would work with the MP3

Thanks, Archie. Appreciate the quick response. Great lesson.

For his latest couple of lessons, Ben actually used Jam Trainer to make his MP3 backing tracks, which is quite an honor for me.

You can check it out at jamtrainer.com Free while it’s still in beta.

Is there nothin this app can’t do? Defo on to a winner @Mark_Rocka

Hi @banjodream Brenda back to @BanjoBen 's Forum

I have been practicing this regularly and I really see the importance of keeping the ring and pinky in contact with the 4th and 1st strings. Hearing the ring fingers tone as I slide up the neck helps me know where to stop. My listening skills are getting a little better.
