Fishers Hornpipe
intermediate banjo
This lesson is for members
This is a unique way to play a tune...it's in the key of "D", but we're going to learn it in standard "G" tuning! This one has a lot of great melodic runs in it that can help you get be more fluent in "D" as well. Enjoy this timeless fiddle tune!

Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

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

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.
