This lesson is for members
Filmed at my July '22 Nashville Experience, we tackle the anatomy of a banjo solo! Didn't do too well in biology? That's ok, watch along with me and I'll make some sense of solo science!

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
