- This banjo lesson shows briefly what can be done with diatonic triple stops.
The play along begins at 4:46 and is a way to practice both the modes of four note rolls as well as the left hand shifting.
My latest album, The New Age Connection is available today.

Truly something new, fresh and brilliant.
Finding you channel could possibly be a life changing thing .
THE BANJO TECH THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW
You had me at “SUP” great lesson. Finally some personality in banjo! Keep it up!
LMAO haha thanks Phil
I, for one, appreciate needing to rewind or rewatch once in a while while learning, rather than yawning and fast forwarding. In other words, I dig the pace! Subscribed.
Hey Gary, that's good to know! Thanks for subscribing. Does the play along help?
You have the best non-lick-based fly ass banjo improvisation content. Thanks bro
Thanks dawgy
I've taken a lot of banjo lessons over the years, and these are the most clear, concise explanations I've ever seen. And they're pretty entertaining, too...........
Hey Bill that warms my heart. I'm glad you found this channel buddy, be in touch!
These are my favorite videos on the internet. Great work. Really appreciate the attitude and the depth.
no notes.
*gasp* Mercy! I'll keep crankin' em out for you Anthony
@@RickyMier crank it brother! It's Tony btw'
Keep showing these awesome techniques in context of other players and your own stuff. I love your new record and I would love to see how the techniques you used in your compositions can be traced back to other contexts (be they Bluegrass or Jazz or whathaveyou). #banjoforlife
Gotta admit I like your thaught process in explanations for everystuff
Thanks bro! More coming
This is the perfect way of having fun and teaching quite challenging techniques....thank you man a please keep it up, i need videos like this
Regards from Czech republic
Hey thank you Vojtech! More are videos are coming, I have a whole banjo approach that I need to outline in digital stone before I die
Editing skills on point.
Thanks C!
Wow! I have been looking for you and didn’t even know it!! Excellent work!!
the ultimate roll lesson
thanks man
DUDE! Love how you've named all the G6, Em, Cmaj7 iterations. So many people fail to appreciate the relative nature of chord shapes.
Haha thanks. Chords are funny things. This is Frank? Miss you dude. I wonder what you'll think of my banjo harmony lesson when it comes out...
@@RickyMier Hi - no, this is Gretchen. Looking forward to the banjo harmony lesson.
Oh, and I've had some frustratingly circular conversations with folks who don't understand that the same set of notes function as different chords in different contexts. So it was nice to hear you lay them right out there (including some I hadn't thought of!)
@@thebagboys6338 Yes Yes, the banjo harmony lesson; I have thought about this Gretchen... I'll probably get into that system when I get into talking about Back Up
it's perfect. you produce top tier content my dude
Hell yeah Sergi! I'm glad you're still on Social Media even though Facebook sucks
🔥🔥this is awesome. Just found you channel and have been watching most of the day now. Lol. I really like your playing and teaching style. 🍻🍻
Great lesson Ricky, lots of useful info and a hell of a lot of fun. You the man
For sure Mike! Positivity like yours makes the world go 'round!
Man please dude your blowing my mind.
I hope it helps!!
Dude, I love your video styles. I play the guitar, banjo, and uke, and visit a lot of TH-cam lessons. And they SUCK. Your style makes this video a real to fun, interesting, and filled with good knowledge. Don’t stop man. Fix TH-cam lessons for good.
Haha thanks Eric! I don't know if I can fix TH-cam lessons for good, but I can give people a new way to look at how to learn banjo. More on the way!
I’m a newer banjo student after playing the drums for 20 years. This is exactly how I became proficient on drums. I call it “breaking down all the barriers” - the idea is to get to a point where there is no pattern that feels awkward to play and you can effortlessly break them out at will. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
This is great, man! Popped up on my suggested and I love your editing. Banjo Lessons for Badasses
Rock on Erik, you are the man! Thanks for letting me know
glad i found you , nice to see some new stuff to learn .. thank you.
My pleasure bruh
This is outstanding. Being self taught and playing only by ear, I can never fully explain the theory behind these things, although I can play all of it well enough. Your videos help me grasp the theory and make sense of it. I appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful!
you are rockin' those triple stops and that moustache. Great video dude
ha thanks Mike! More coming
i love watching these great vids by a great player. thanks Ricky. as inventive and fresh as your playing.
Glad you like them! I appreciate that Tony
Thank you so much for the intel that your are sharing.
My pleasure, I hope it helps Ken
'Stache!! Love it, Ricky!
Thanks! It will be a funny ID picture in August
This is KILLER! Thanks
I'm glad you found it!
Love that style bro ..right on.
Hell yeah Triptyl, more coming
Another beauty. Thx
My pleasure Uncle Steve
The byproduct of this video is in addition to learning diatonic triple stops is it opens up the fretboard to double stops which I am more familiar with as a guitar player. The thing I appreciate is this builds on the scales lesson and I starting to see how it all fits together. Thank you, the videos are great and you have a way of breaking down complex concepts into something that makes sense and can be easily applied.
My pleasure Pete! I'm glad to know this opens up the neck for you, I'd love to hear the stuff you're doing based off these concepts.
great play along section
Thanks Mike! I hope it helps
Great shtick. You got my attention. Nice layout too. I'm now thinking of standard rolls in new patterns, based on where they start. This'll take some time to get under my fingers.Thanks much.
Mark Olson rock on bro, keep it up
Love it!
Thanks Marcos!
I love your videos, it’s a whole new level in banjo. I don’t how I can ever get there! But, I have accepted the challenge 😀
Rock on Greg! As long as you create for yourself, you'll get there. I don't really want to teach licks, I want to teach an optimized approach to composing with the banjo. Stay tuned, more are coming.
I’m slowly getting it into my brain 😀
@@gregthroberts I've got the same play along coming out at 80 bpm, that should help
Love this stuff dude, and I don't even play banjo lol. Educational yet entertaining as hell.
Haha yeah this stuff can be applied to any instrument, especially the modes of rhythm concept applied to arpeggios
Ricky, where were you when I was trying to learn the banjo, 1960 sump'n... boy, I could have used your instruction videos then! Great stuff.
You mean where was I before I was a twinkle in my father's eye? There are a few possibilities. I could have been either a soul waiting to incarnate on earth, or apart of the soil from which bore the fruit that my parent's ate around the 1990's. Who knows?
More videos coming :D
@@RickyMier LOL... Ricky, I expected that I probably pre-dated your arrival on Earth. Back then, I did have an excellent banjo instructor, whom will remain annonymous (he's quite well known, and among the master string musicians.). Your playing is comparable, and your instruction style is outstanding. Kudos to you for sharing pieces of your art on TH-cam. In my era, TH-cam and the internet, were only a twinkle in someone's eye... Best of Luck to you.
@@PilgrimsChoice1620 You're as kind as you are poetic PilgrimsChoice1620. I have more coming explaining this banjo process!
As some Bluegrassers have limited experience beyond I IV V progressions, it'd be interesting to hear more about how these chordal sounds work!
Interesting idea! This will probably be covered in my Back Up Banjo lesson, but there are a few other fundamental banjo ideas that I need to get through before going there to better introduce how I approach playing the instrument
My husband loves watching you. Please keep making videos #sup #bestbae
Mariah Simmons How flattering! I'm on it
Sam Bush, baked as usual made me laugh out loud. Fuuuunnnny! BTW, I love Sam so much.
Good lesson on something I haven't come across before. Curious where you are located...
World Bluegrass Day thank you. I'm in San Francisco
If you ever come out to the mountains of NC hit me up...
Thanks, Ricky. Really interesting lesson. Just curious, this lesson is based on diatonic triads with the major chord in the D position. Is there a reason you use that set of triads, rather than those with the major chords in the F or barre positions?
Yeah, the reason I use this set of triads is because they are pretty and allow for easy shifting. You can make sets of diatonic triads however you want though, quadruple stops are useful too
Nice. Just wondering why you don’t want to go to single string improv? Love your banjo playing.
Hey thanks. I want to focus on banjo rolls because I want to help banjo players sound like banjo players
Yellow Ochre
It's classic baby
I thought music theory was illegal for banjo in most jurisdictions!
Oh my, you haven't even seen half of it
You funny !
Thanks Erwin!
What's with all the jump cuts? I feel like I'm having a seizure.
That was the style back in 2020, I was younger then
Those Davie504 vibes though
He is the unmatched contemporary master of TH-cam instrumentalists
@@RickyMier Slap Like for banjos
DestroTheSiege I like that
Fuck me... that's neverending bunch of rolls....why? (Love the approach tho..thx)
Don't slow down.
I won't!
