Cuckoo's Nest // For Bluegrass Banjo // Season 5 Episode 7
Wuddup my dear friends and family, here is The Cuckoo's Nest, a certified festival banger that is guaranteed to get everybody pregnant. It's got some top tier single string and some definitive melodic style thats not only easy to play, but it sounds great too. I hope you get some mileage out of this one, and imho that solo is a slapper, check those slippery 6ths and be sure to recognize that last lick.

Big Mon // For Bluegrass Banjo // Season 5 Episode 6
Переглядів 754Місяць тому
Wuddup fam, here is my arrangment of Big Mon, mostly in single string, with some melodic style as well as some rolling Scruggs Style. The solo on this one has turned into one of my go to solos when I'm playing some square fiddle tune, either playing something like it or taking a double solo to get into it. It's not too hard to play either if you have your rolls together. Good luck on this one!!...

Переглядів 9683 місяці тому
wuddup fam here is the elusive Garfield's Blackberry Blossom in the key of... G something. It has some lydian flavors, also major and minor flavors but we can go ahead and call it G5. The theme of this was a 32 bar solo, IE 2 bars through the form because soloing once through the form is keeping a brother down and I'm trying to get back on that banjo ascension hype. Notice the rhythmic motifs c...

    This should be your most liked video. 4 months into banjo and what you said about how this should be taught more is super true. I have gained so much more improvisational intuition from just this video. Incredible work. If this is what your lessons are like, then when I feel I start needing some higher level input I will come to you.

    Many thanks for this!! I've been playing my own, very inferior version for years, but this has cleared up some of the mistakes (well, lazy shortcuts, to be honest) that I was guilty of! But I have a question: the line of tab that appears at 1:36. Above the first two measures on this line there's a "V". What does that signify? I had thought it was perhaps the V chord, but as far as I can work out, the first of these is over the IV chord, not the V, and the chords aren't indicated on the rest of the tab. Am I missing something?
