Tony demonstrates and teachesa variety of banjo licks and techniques to bring your backup playing to the next level.
- Let's go another step further…and throw in a really nice lick.…(plays lick)…Which you can use on a G chord…and Earl uses this lick.…(plays lick)…You're kind of sliding into this position,…this D position G chord here.…Here's D, move it up, to G.…D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G.…But rather than starting with the whole position…you'll just slide up on the second string…and start with the fifth string.…
And then, that's the first eighth note, then do…two more eighth notes which is a five eight slide…on the second string, using the middle finger.…Hit it again, as it's up there at the eighth fret.…And then bring the ring down on the ninth fret…of the third string, go to the index on the seventh…fret of the third string, and you're gonna hit the…same string twice in a row using the thumb and index.…Thumb, index.…Just try that much of it.…
(plays lick)…And then finish it off, your ring finger sitting…right there, put it right down on the ninth fret…of the fourth string.…And then hit the open first string to fill…out the eighth note.…
