Forum - Banjo Ben Clark

Interested in more melodic and expressive playing (?)

I am interested in playing a slower and prettier banjo. I want to focus on the melody, and the harmony around it. The best lesson that comes to mind like this is the star spangled banner lesson. I want to learn how to take a melody, and harmonize over it on banjo. Are there any resources that help with harmonization on banjo? Or help with building harmony on a solo banjo?

Yes! Lots of my slower Christmas lessons do that as well. And check this out:

Welcome to the forum, @lukeapplejak!

@lukeapplejak Welcome to the forum glad to have ya!

Ben is correct, those Alan Munde lessons will unlock the door to exactly what you’re looking for, but it will take a bit of time & practice. There are many “a-ha!” moments along the way.
