I don't normally endorse you just pushin' stuff around, but in the case of banjo licks, I highly recommend it! Theory will teach us that most every lick we know can work over many chords. Let's set them free!

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

  2. Junior Pace ·

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

  3. Dale Hutchins ·

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

  4. Katie Clark Support ·

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

  5. Wes Pittman ·

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

  6. Deb Carrigan ·

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