Learn Melodic Banjo Style, Techniques and Repertoire
Popularized by Bill Keith and Bobby Thompson in the 1960's, the "melodic-style” banjo technique was born out of the bluegrass tradition as a way for banjo players to play note-for-note fiddle tunes. Developing your melodic banjo technique will help you to play faster, smoother, more efficient melodic runs across multiple strings.
Ned Luberecki's Melodic Banjo Handbook will show you how to play major and minor scale positions for the most common keys used in bluegrass melodic style.
”We'll work on fingering patterns so you can get them up to speed, I'll also show you my techniques for working out melodic style melodies so you can create your own arrangements, and you'll have all of TrueFire's learning tools to work with.
Along the way, we'll learn popular fiddle tunes in G, C, and D played in a melodic style. We'll play Blackberry Blossom, Whiskey Before Breakfast, Katy Hill, Texas Gales, Stoney Point, and more, AND we'll explore some bluegrass jam applications for your melodic banjo runs.
Working regularly with this handbook is really going to help you get your melodic-style chops together, so grab your banjo, and let's go!”
Ned will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You'll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you'll be able to use TrueFire's learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson.
You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
Grab your banjo and lets get melodic with Ned Luberecki!
