Bela Fleck's playing on Can't Stop Now FINALLY REVEALED
This particular Can't Stop Now is the last song from New Grass Revival's last show ever on New Years Eve 1989, opening for The Grateful Dead in Oakland CA.
I recorded banjo over the whole track, Bela's main licks and solos were transcribed for the making of this video.
I put in extra backup licks and fills for my people when they go through the tablature.
I put a lot of love into this one!!!
More to come, thanks for all your encouragement.

haha thanks for watching buddy!
Mother of God that is amazing!
New Grass Revival...one of the greatest bands ever! This video...I rank the banjo playing 10/10! Mustache...-69/10!
Cowabunga! That is my all time most favorite tune, ever. I'm in awe whenever I hear it...and you figured it out!! Oh Great One! Amazing. For me, it will take me the rest of my life to play that at 75% of the speed you did. Thanks for offering such a challenge. Now I never need to look at your stuff again...I'll be busy.

I'm working on an analysis video now, I'll tell you, a lot of the rolls are either forward, backward, or square, and with those fundamentals known, it's easier to speed up
WOW

Pretty accurate impersonation of that last Bela Lick… good stuff, man.

haha I couldn't transcribe that so I might as well impersonate it
I think a remarkable impression of Béla overall...the resemblance is uncanny.

hahaha I want to say something like "the impression impresses itself' in same way 'the letter writes itself' but it doesn't work :/
Uhhh....like....holy crap dude! I think one of those chromatic licks is used in "Wheels Up" from " My Bluegrass Heart". I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken. 😉

Love 4:20
Behind the humorous character I can see/hear the professional musician. I bet you're this close to cracking the YT algo. Probably cut frequency and upload frequency need to be upped, and more keyframed zooms and movements to be added. Other than that, no idea. Davie504 wants his pistol back.
