    That. 1 2 1 5 roll was one of the hardest for me to learn many moon ago , you’d think it’s simple but to me it wasn’t , I had one of those books “how to play banjo” by Doug Dillard , Doug used that more than any banjo player ever ! Dooley , Doug’s tune , I heard Doug do it on the Bells of St Mary ! As I’m typing this your talking bout the Dillard roll 😂😂 but you’ve gave me MANY ideas while typing this , I can hear what your doing on all these other tunes ! Keep on keeping on Jim ! I’ll see you agin in the future , loved jamming with ya 25 yrs ago or longer ! We’re getting old

  • @sparks2999
    @sparks2999 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been struggling with the X and Y chord shapes. My fingers are just not going to be able to do it. I love this method! Maybe my answer to playing backup. The census is that you have to be able to play the X and Y chord shapes to play backup. I have been just playing the chord shape minus the low D String (Ring finger). Thanks for this Jim, I'm going to start working on it!

    • @JimPankey

      Chord shapes are certainly valuable to know and be able to do.

  • @banjo-beard
    @banjo-beard ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jim, this is cool! This makes me think like you're doing a harmonized G scale on the first string, but restricting to only harmonizing with G, C, or D outlines. I see Ricky Mier do something similar, only he outlines with the "full set" of triads (G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#o, G). What are some hints about choosing how to harmonize against what the band is doing? Just use the old ear?

    • @banjo-beard
      @banjo-beard ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess you could also modify this excercise by harmonizing with the melody on the second string, moving the harmony string to the first string. I guess then you could use the foggy mountain roll, since it rhythmically emphasizes the second string. Rinse and repeat - maybe now harmonize with the third, second and first, melody on the third string, and now do forward rolls. Am I getting it?

    • @JimPankey
      @JimPankey  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Using your ear, but also looking for notes within the chord that you're playing against.

    • @JimPankey
      @JimPankey  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! You can totally move the melody to the second string and use the FMB or forward roll!

    Hey Jim, long time Patreon supporter. Have you ever thought about doing a banjo version of Froggie-Went-A-Courtin I know it is a frailing style song normally but I think it would be cool in Scruggs style. My niece is going to be 3 this year and I would love to play that song for her. I know she would love it but I am not good at old style. Thanks for the videos man. I started playing banjo because of your videos.
