Fancier backup: Part 1

- Let's spend a little more time on backup right now…let's take it to the next level.…And I'll show you a…a little lick here.…Which goes like this.…(banjo picking)…And I'm up at this high G here…which is an octave above this F position G here.…One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight notes up.…And I'm just playing off…mostly off the first three strings, it's…one, two, three, four, forward rolls.…

And then a quick alternating thumb roll.…(banjo picking)…And I just start with just the first…three strings being fretted.…With the pinky, index and middle.…(banjo picking)…Then I add the ring finger on the fourth string…at the 17th fret…as part of the alternating thumb roll.…And I slide into it.…And notice again that I'm away from the bridge…to get more of the watery sound…and again, give you a break from the…(banjo picking)…all that sound.…(banjo picking)…Then you can go down here for the C chord…between the eighth and tenth frets…exactly the same position.…

Just move down.…And you can slide into it on the third string if you want.…
