From the course: Banjo Lessons: 3 Playing Songs

Welcome

(banjo music) - Welcome to course three. That may seem absurd, a little bit of Happy Birthday, but that's actually in the curriculum for this course. And there's a lot of other material here, other tunes, other techniques, harmonics, and how to place your bridge in the right place, so you're in tune when you're playing. Some backup, when you're backing up a singer, some fancier ideas about that. Playing in different keys, like not just G, which is where most banjo players exist, but also the key of C, and the key of D, as a for instance. And also getting into the melodic style, which is a whole other style, it's not Scruggs style, Scruggs style sounds like this. That kind of a sound. Melodic style is based on scales. So you'll learn all these and more in course three.
