This will be a practical "hands on and let's play" kind of session with practical and easy to understand tips and skills that you can immediately use in your next jam session or band rehearsal. Topics to be covered include the role of the banjo in a jam session and how to support different instruments and singers effectively with vamping, roll patterns and up-the-neck techniques. What kind of licks to use where, kick-offs and endings, navigating the keys of C and D, using the capo effectively to play in all keys, blues backup, 3/4 and fiddle tune backup and much more will also be discussed. This workshop is designed for all levels of students but is ideal for those who have one or more years of playing experience. Bill's group teaching method keeps everyone involved regardless of experience level. Tab examples will be provided but it's not necessary to read tab to get a lot out of this workshop. Audio or video recording is encouraged. Bring your banjo and a music stand if you have one!
