I have been struggling with the X and Y chord shapes. My fingers are just not going to be able to do it. I love this method! Maybe my answer to playing backup. The census is that you have to be able to play the X and Y chord shapes to play backup. I have been just playing the chord shape minus the low D String (Ring finger). Thanks for this Jim, I'm going to start working on it!

Chord shapes are certainly valuable to know and be able to do.
That. 1 2 1 5 roll was one of the hardest for me to learn many moon ago , you’d think it’s simple but to me it wasn’t , I had one of those books “how to play banjo” by Doug Dillard , Doug used that more than any banjo player ever ! Dooley , Doug’s tune , I heard Doug do it on the Bells of St Mary ! As I’m typing this your talking bout the Dillard roll 😂😂 but you’ve gave me MANY ideas while typing this , I can hear what your doing on all these other tunes ! Keep on keeping on Jim ! I’ll see you agin in the future , loved jamming with ya 25 yrs ago or longer ! We’re getting old

Hey Jim, long time Patreon supporter. Have you ever thought about doing a banjo version of Froggie-Went-A-Courtin I know it is a frailing style song normally but I think it would be cool in Scruggs style. My niece is going to be 3 this year and I would love to play that song for her. I know she would love it but I am not good at old style. Thanks for the videos man. I started playing banjo because of your videos.

Hi Jim, this is cool! This makes me think like you're doing a harmonized G scale on the first string, but restricting to only harmonizing with G, C, or D outlines. I see Ricky Mier do something similar, only he outlines with the "full set" of triads (G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#o, G). What are some hints about choosing how to harmonize against what the band is doing? Just use the old ear?
@banjo-beard
Жыл бұрын
I guess you could also modify this excercise by harmonizing with the melody on the second string, moving the harmony string to the first string. I guess then you could use the foggy mountain roll, since it rhythmically emphasizes the second string. Rinse and repeat - maybe now harmonize with the third, second and first, melody on the third string, and now do forward rolls. Am I getting it?
@JimPankey

Using your ear, but also looking for notes within the chord that you're playing against.

Yes! You can totally move the melody to the second string and use the FMB or forward roll!
