East Tennessee Blues- Melodic
intermediate banjo
This lesson is for members
Fiddle tunes with fast-moving melodies can be a challenge on banjo, & the melodic approach helps us reach more notes than we might with Scruggs style. Let's get east bound and down with melodic banjo!

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
