Hi Tony. I was delighted with the 5 day banjo challenge! i used to play the banjo for about 10 years. I gave it up due to pain in my left wrist. I picked up the guitar about 15 years later and have not had any more pain. I felt comfortable regarding the discussion of melodic banjo and the mention of Earl Scruggs, Bela Fleck and Tony Trisichka, I have seen all of them several times.

Fun, fun, fun.Visions of Flatt and Scruggs danced through my head as I played this although it will take some practice to get used to using finger picks.

Tony, I bought a Golden Gate thumb pick and two Dunlop finger picks at Elderly Instruments back in 2008 and I was going to ask you how to use them and low and behold, in this “High Roller” exercise you show us how, (I initially put the finger picks on backsword LOL!) THanks for the lesson, it was great!

Excellent exercise..

The tab is on the bottom right. You can click on the tab then while watching the video, you can click on the Picture in Picture and then you get a smaller video and you can look at the tab while the video is playing. (took several months to figure that out).
-
did you say there was tab for/with this?
-
Man that was fun. I’m a decent finger picker and I love that open G tuning
-
These are great! I inherited a banjo, do these lessons transfer to the banjo as well?
Can you recommend a banjo course similar to Tony? -
Wish you would have gone over proper technique for putting on finger picks. Great exercise, excited about this style
-
Does anyone know if I can still access the lessons from before the change happened?
-
I don’t believe so.
