Nice tutorial Gunnar! Is anyone gonna play the cross-eyed Banjo Ben super advanced guitar solo?
Teen Picker's Online Collaboration
I can’t tell y’all how much I’ve enjoyed reading through this thread. As someone who was never involved in music my entire life (well at least the for 48 years) I’ve never had conversations like what I’m reading. Makes me want to get a time machine and tell young me “Hey, quit working on free throws and running stadiums. Grab a mandolin and get over to the jam to learn Salt Creek!”
Thanks y’all for sharing all of this!
Thanks for the scratch track Gunnar, Now I have to seriously train my right hand to play that fast…
Ok- Foggy Mountain Breakdown, in no particular order:
@Michael_Mark Classic Scruggs Solo beginning and end
@Dragonslayer Fiddle
@D_HRRFan7303 Banjo half up the neck half down the neck, different from Michaels.
@Kevin_S Dobro!
@Fisherbro Guitar
@Dragonslayer banjo
@gospelguitar04 Guitar
@D_HRRFan7303 Mando
@MicahE628 Banjo
@FisherKD, @banjoboyk, I am assuming breaks, I am unsure of instruments.
@theChristiancowgirl, @SPilot8319, @GraceS, and any others I have not mentioned of forgot, want to participate?
Am I supposed to play the banjo backup too, or is someone else doing that? Probably just vamping over the chords would be best
That would be good. It would be really cool if you could do Earl Scruggs “Boogie Backup” for a couple.
Will do. Oh, and also I think 2 banjo solos are normally played at the beginning of FMB.
I haven’t come up with an order of breaks yet, but you probably have a better idea where stuff should go, so if you could do that, that would be great.
Thanks! I can play that one if you want
Too bad we aren’t doing video, I’m laughing just thinking about the possibilities.
Just keep in mind there’s eight and a half entire break lengths on the track (each entire break is two time through) so some might have to split breaks
Here’s the Flatt & Scruggs version:
I don’t know very good backup on dobro unfortunately . I’ll see if I can come up with something but there might not be dobro backup.
Maybe just sliding into each chord?
Yeah I could do something like that.
Chop chords on the Dobro should be fine
I don’t wanna clash with the mandolin. The biggest problem is I can’t chop very well.
I am adding @SPilot8319 to this thread.
We are going to remotely (via the internet) create a couple mixes (Salt Creek and Foggy Mountain Breakdown) for everyone on BBC to enjoy. Let me know what breaks you want on each song.
Sweet! I’ve never played either of those songs before
