This will be a practical, easy to understand "hands-on, bring your banjo and let's pick" kind of workshop that's open to all players but ideally designed for musicians with one or more years of banjo playing experience. We'll cover practical and easy to learn techniques that you can put to immediate use to hold in your next band rehearsal or jam session. Topics to be discussed include movable chord shapes for vamping, up-the-neck backup using the F and D shapes and the "In The Mood" roll, down-the-neck backup using forward rolls and target tones, how to use Earl Scruggs' great backup licks to enhance your sound, how to "hear" chord progressions, using the capo and back-up aesthetics (when to do what!), fiddle tune and slow-song backup and much more. Tab examples will be presented for everything that will be covered in the session but it's not necessary to read tab well to get a lot out of this workshop. Audio and/or video recording is encouraged.
