can anyone tell me where I can find vamping on this site for the banjo. I was in the section of solo building with amazing grace and saw some vamping and it looked interesting. I would like to learn this or is this an advanced move?
thank you
Jim

Thank you!!! Thatās actually next in line after solo section so I was coming to that. Thanks so much!!!
Also, make sure to check out the waypoints lesson. While not exactly vamping, per se, itās the foundation for it all the way up the neck. Ben is going to continue the waypoints series in the near future, so itāll be good to have that lesson under your belt.

Youāre welcome. Iāve watched almost every lesson in the Banjo basic and intermediate sections even though still doing basic rolls. Seems like a strange thing to call muting the notesā¦āvampingā. I wonder why itās called that?
Maybe something to do with pinching the back beats?
Iād like to know myself.
Just googled it.
Vamping patterns are used almost exclusively with movable chords and are characterized by frettingāhand muting techniques that give a percussive, snare drum-like sound to this technique. These muting techniques are the same as what mandolin players play when they provide backup to the banjo in a bluegrass band.
thank you , so great to have a supportive community!!!
Hi Mark
Have you an idea when BB will be doing more waypoint lessons? i.e D, Em, etc
He recently told me to keep reminding him, so Iām hoping any day now.
Ok cool pal
