Tony demonstrates and teachesa variety of banjo licks and techniques to bring your backup playing to the next level.
- Now there's a variation, instead of going,…you can do a little syncopation,…and do this lick right here,…Which is a lick that leads you into your C Chord.…So you start the way we just did that last lick.…But instead of just hitting the open first string afterwards…you slide again.…So…slide, hit that second string twice,…and then use your thumb three times in row,…and you're gonna move your ring finger…to the ninth fret of the third string.…
Down one fret and it really chokes that a little bit…for some unknown reason, but it sounds cool.…And then to the index on…the seventh fret of the third string.…So as you're doing this descending line,…you're using one finger per fret.…Ring, middle, and index,…rather than using the same finger.…This is more economical motion-wise.…And then you go to your C Chord and…hit the fourth string.…So you have this line going down, bum bum bum bum.…
Instead, we're not going to use the pinkie, use the ring.…Cause that's the bottom note of your C Chord.…So to put this together,…we'll do another little demonstration here.…
