- Another beautiful day, another beautiful opportunity for Secret Esoteric Wisdom of Banjo Liberation.
This lesson adapts Line Cliches to banjo playing.
By seeing Line Cliches as a single moving voice inside a roll, many spontaneous compositional ideas can stem from roll based playing.
My latest album, The New Age Connection is available today.

This should be a lesson to those brainy 'jo teachers and players who say rolls are artificial, only apparent, and merely derived from reverse engineering the playing of the masters. Rolls combined with harmonically constructed shapes and intelligently and intentionally chosen moving notes create actual melodies and specific effects. You're teaching stuff I've never seen anyone else present and doing it in a way that seamlessly combines theory and application. I need to smack that Patreon button.
Ricky, I don't care what your credentials are, you are simply awesome!
Haha thanks Damon
Man aside from how insightful and hilarious this shit is you're making me want to write banjo songs with actual rolls 😅
Thanks Paddy! I'd love to hear what you come up with
Dude... I f-ing love your videos. Seriously. That's the kind of attitude I love to see in banjo.
haha thanks for following dude
Perfect. It looks and sounds much more complicated before you teach it. Beautiful, man.
I've already used what I learned from your previous videos in my playing, to rave reviews. Thanks much, keep the vids coming.
Righteous! More revolutions to come
This is awesome! Thank you
My pleasure!
thank you so much for your instruction and really cool videos dude! 😎😁👍🏻
Hey I'm glad you found it!
Nice!
another brilliant one!
You are the man Stash! thx bruh
Great explanation. Makes me think I can learn that!
I bet you can! Line Cliches are great tools for banjo roll improvisation
A lot of great content! And funny. funny. Funny.
You are the best!! And I might tell our tale in the next video Maria
Love it!! Haha great video
Thank you!! Bluegrass backup next
Good shift, man! Very good "shift".
Ricky! Dude, I'm having way too much fun playing your stuff!
Awesome man! What else have you learned?
@@RickyMier Line Cliches is already pushing my tired old overused melodic runs off the edge of a cliff only to be reborn in a new and refreshing way as I integrate the two into a cohesive reality. I keep stopping and re-evaluating as I'm getting more linear. I'm also having a blast getting Alani's Lullaby under my fingers.
@@stevenyoung2143 Cohesive Reality, I like. The tune is very natural to play! I hope to write more like this for yall
You’re killing it! Hitting all my favorites. When is the lecture on banjo engineering?
I don't know if I'm qualified to talk about that Steve
Eb69 is hella-dope!
As soon as your video notification came up, I dropped everything to watch it! I’m loving these lessons. One of the comments mentioned more bluegrass application. I would be interested in this as well. As much as I love playing my banjo leads and breaks, I really wish I could become great at playing backup and improvising.
Greg that is amazing to hear. I'll do Back Up as my next vid! sorry this one took so long to post, working sucks
No problem and no rush! I enjoy your lessons when ever you are able. It’s a very challenging approach to the banjo for me.
@@gregthroberts Why is it challenging? I'm trying to make it easyaf
Well, when I say “challenging “ I don’t mean in a bad way. Most banjo lessons out there are pretty typical rolls, licks and vamping etc. I love all of it . But what you are teaching opens my mind to think differently and forces me to learn to use my fingers all over the place on my banjo. I love what you are doing, you are making me grow musically.
@@gregthroberts Oh okay, rock on. Open your mind and grow.. Approved
This is like if Davey504 tried to teach people.
exaaactly bro
I have been playing over forty years- no one else makes it as simple or unleashes the drive like Ricky. I’m a pro, have taught for many years. I’m signing up for lessons! ( check is in the mail, but)
Haha thanks for the support Jack!!
Easy AF. Please don't call the cops man! LOL. Seriously another fine job and a great help to me. I'm learning Somerset from Bela's Inroads album and those role patterns are similar. Thank you.
Somerset? shit that's a deep cut I have never heard. And I thought I was his biggest fan. Listening to it now. Do you have a tab?
@@RickyMier Yes I do. But I'll have to get permission to share it. It's really easy. Capo the 5th to A. Forward reverse inside role Starting on the 3rd string through most of it. Key of D. Chord progression D, A,G,D,G,D,E,A. Then repeat and leave out the E.
@@kenshort5983 awesome thanks
Dude - love your videos. Can you do one on how to arrange for the banjo over chord progressions and make it interesting? Like, say you're jumping in on a 1, 6, 4, 5, or .. whatever. How would you arrange for it?
Thanks Eric! Slowly but surely I will show how to play over chords, of course, from a rhythmic standpoint and it's gonna make your shit hipper than hip
Channeling your inner Davie I see ROFL!! .. #HellaEasyAF #NoPressure
LOL No pressure, that reminds me, I need to pull a knife in the next video
@@RickyMier 😅
awesome as usual! couple questions: do you make tomato/banana/lemon/lime smoothies? wussup with that? at 11:45 you had a most impressive spit bubble happening.....was that intentional? nice work either way. then, you keep looking to your right as if distracted.....was your lady over there changing clothes or something? and a serious query: what editing software are you using? thanks, broham.
Thanks!
1. no
2. no
3. no
4. Adobe Premiere
Ya, what he said!

Dude I been waiting like every 5 minutes refreshing since last vid lol. Couple things
1. Amazing, rather then just some licks this is way deep musical instruction for the instrument and music itself for covering and writing. I mean I like learning runs and blues licks too. But this is killer, very high value instruction. Keep it coming. Thanks for sharing as well as your own songs giving up the secrets too.
2. Why is it the 69 chord. Lol, also maybe I belong in that Berklee place because after your playing my seats wet and I'm a dude, I just don't know anymore. Glad to be in the last safe place to make jokes like that banjo community is a fine place to be
3. Unlike mr.earl buying tigers with his stimulus check I got a little and a little time. Looking to purchase some banjo books. What are the top ones in your opinion? Maybe one day I could get a lesson with you too that would be cool
That's flattering man!
1. I'll do a vid that will be more similar to runs and blues licks in a video called Motivic Development, probably after my next vid which will be Back Up.
2. lol the 69 chord is a joke. It's actually an Eb6 chord, but with the F that happens on the sub melody it becomes and Eb69 chord
3. Books, dude get Bela Flecks Picking Styles. It's a 6CD set with tab and it changed me. I'm happy to give you a lesson!
@@RickyMier
Amazing, thanks bro. That one book I've never seen and all the Google searching and banjo hangout searching I've done on book reccomendations I've never seen that come up, maybe cause it's pricey few people get it? Anyway, I'm ordering it today. Mr.trump is buying it for me how bout that. Yeah your stuff is amazing. Love a chat and some Skype tips one day. If/When that becomes available let me know. Also lessons on women much appreciated, also started growing mustache thinking maybe that would help me get better about a week in so far it's helping. #easyaf
@@Spookytooth92 LMAO. I didn't realize this content has the power to be Mens Self Help as well. To be honest, I thought I was going to get harsh feedback from the edginess of the beginning, but I figured it was honest and funny so I let it fly. Your feedback specifically, among others, assures me that it's okay to be genuine, barbarity and all. THANK YOU. As far as The Picking Styles 6 CD Set, literally every banjo player I've asked has never heard of it, even though it's Bela's definitive instructional piece. Are you on FB? Also, Trump is buying me a Crossfire :D
@@RickyMier =O @ Crossfire
@@RickyMier dang a crossfire? That's wild man I got some pretty entry banjos. Then years back when I use to teach guitar at the store in town guy came in trying to sell his banjo for quick cash for bills I'm like dude we're not a pawn shop. It was a Alvarez b-1. Gave him like 800 felt bad. Still an amazing banjo like destiny for me to get it. I got a throwaway fb for buying and selling. Got a goodtime other day for 125 should make a couple hundred off of. Regardless. Couple weeks from now I'll be making a different account to post some covers and random instruments and stuff. I'll drop you a link then probably have some social I'll add you then. By the way I ordered the book yesterday so it's on the way. Thanks again man
Your Viking Comrads:
SKOAL!!!
where we buy this
Banjo?
hit my venmo baby
lowkey high quality
haha thank you
I love songs in Gminor but usually play in standard G tuning... avoiding the open B.
I hate how good you are.....
I'm here to share
Ricky Mier I’ve Been playing banjo for 27 years, and I have so much more to learn. I’m both jealous and super appreciative of banjoists like you who are willing to share the knowledge. Thank you, and keep it going!
@@umkwaig Will do, thanks TheGratUmKwaig!
Easyaf!
hell yeah it is baby!
First minute is straight fire as a first semester drop out. Not far from my exact answer to the credentials question
😂
Sweet stuff bro! But how can you use this info on songs that other people might have a chance of knowing? 🤔
That is a good question which will have to be addressed in a video on Back Up
@@RickyMier didn't mean to be rude, I'm just a straight up bluegrass guy! I love the sound of these instrumentals. They give me serious Bela fleck vibes.
@@midnighttoker8663 You weren't rude at all! Sorry if I came off like that. I have studied a lot of Bela. So you'd like to see more bluegrass application?
@@RickyMier for sure! E.g. I see your line cliches inside those sets of voicings, and I wonder how is possible to apply that to the standards which have pretty boring chords.
Rob Jackson yeah, let’s see some of Mr. Rick’s bluegrass!!
All these videos are great though!
Sweet vidya #sup

here's your damn comment! Cheers
Approved
This piece has the potential of becoming one of the mostly played pieces in the banjoworld.... This is timeless just like Foggy Breakdown! The only thing I will change is that harmonic on the 10th fret of the 5th string. I never sounds loud enough. I play it natural on the 17th fret of the 1st string. Hope you don´t mind! YOU REALLY CHANGED MY BANJO LIFE WITH THAT PIECE! Thank you so much for sharing. When my Trio performs again I will perform it in my next concert.
This is such high praise that I must demand for mercy! I'll try that harmonic later today. The 10th is hard to pull off. Please send me a video or recording when you perform it!
Your harmonic sounds great, but I can´t do it loud enough.... I started writing an accompaniment part for violin and cello, since I perform with those. But that is challenging since they should stay in the background always and never disturb the banjo. The cello will follow your electric bass part more or less. And sometimes the line in the banjo is doubled. By the way what note is the electric bass playing in bar 33 and 34? Sounds like G?
violanjo banjoman Yeah that's a Gmi chord, so G in the bass.
Lol. 🤘
maybe "motif" instead of "cliche?" great vid!
Yeah Cliche is a bad word for it, but 'line cliche' is how they taught it at Berklee. I like line motif better
Shitxz hella easy bruv. Sup
my boy. sup
you are funny.
Thank you :D
Here dude I'm dumb, I still don't get it. Good content as long as the kids aren't around lol!
Haha Ask anything you'd like, I'll help if I can
I’ve revisited this man it wasn’t a problem learning it you’re a very good teacher but I wonder could you elaborate more on choosing the voicings? If not thats cool 👍 love your work dude.
Thank you.
yo bro, Comment. F'sho
Shit's hella easy bro
easy af baby
shit's easy af
HELL YEAH
