I like to give recognition where it is due. This wasn't some crap instruction which would have instructed students in the rolls merely one way but by getting them to use the patterns of the rolls on various strings which is important to gain better hand technique. Including left hand and getting both to work in cordination flat out requires practice and many quit. Endure and you'll be happy you did. Instant gratification is looking at a new banjo gifted or bought but getting good requires effort. Buy a mute with a banjo and it may save your life from spouses. significant others or neighbors.

On the forward roll (open string 3,2,1), I have been practicing with metronome 250 bpm in 3/4 time. Am I on the right track? How many bpm are you playing in the faster practice set? Thanks so much for the lessons. I have been practicing for 3 weeks now.
@JohnMooreVlogs
3 жыл бұрын
It sounds like you're playing with each note in the roll synced with a beat. While that can work as a guide, I worry that it could develop some bad habits. Each beat represents a quarter note and banjo is typically played on 8th notes so you're playing at half speed relative to the beat. The good news is if my assumption is correct, your current speed equates to just over 120 beats per minute which is a good goal for a beginner banjo player. For starting off, I would practice in 4/4 timing as that's what most bluegrass is played in. For a beginner, 120 bpm 4/4 timing is a great goal. You should be playing two notes for every beat on the metronome. I know it can be tempting to play in 3/4 timing because the three beats per measure align perfectly with the three note roll, but try to resist it. 4/4 timing on a 3-note roll will feel pretty weird at first, but getting accustomed to 4/4 timing will set you up for success in the beginning. Hope this helps and congratulations on your progress!

Minute 6:14 - 7:14 may be the most concise, useful and essential single minute of banjo instruction I’ve ever seen. The 3 rolls, in 1 musical phrase. It’s an exercise that has immediate, practical, and univerasl application. It’s all well and good to practice those rolls, but it’s a whole different thing going rom one to another. Mastering that phrase just ups anyone’s game for accompaniment and for learning licks in melodies. Thank you, sir. I see lots of metronome work in my immediate future.

I watched your "how to tune your banjo" video in this series and became a subscriber at about the 2 minute mark. You are not only a fantastic banjo player, but an excellent teacher.

What I believe I need is 3-6 basic rolls and chords, not fancy left hand notes work. I'm 70, if I could achieve that "very simple method", playing Canadian songs, like this one - kzitem.info/news/bejne/mp2cmKabbKekrZw - but, not in that hammering style, I'd live and die a happy guy. When I was 14 I took 2 years of lessons from a 90 year old man in downtown Toronto, Canada, who told me at 1st lesson, there's no such thing as blue grass banjo music, and he would teach me to play by reading transposed piano music sheets. He demonstrated that my left hand would do as much work as my right hand picking fingers. I failed, miserably. 30 years later I smashed my banjo against a tree so I didn't have to ever see it again. So, where can I get basic rolls and chords lessons I want ?
