Joy To The World - Jazzy
advanced banjo
This lesson is for members
Joy to the World, the Lord is Come! To me, there are no sweeter words in the world! This is the "jazzy" version that I...um, I mean, Banjo Billy...played in the viral YouTube video. This one has lots of cool licks in it, and it's sure to warm Grandma's heart this Christmas!

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.

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

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