What a great explanation in just 10 minutes. I would love to hear more on pentatonic single string, particularly on improvising, and how to play over a bluegrass chord progression
Brilliant lesson! It got me to apply scales that I have played on guitar and actually make them sound good on the banjo. I would love a lesson that takes this content and adds blues scales and blues licks.
Such a great lesson. If I could only plug into the Matrix to play these as quickly as you, that would be nice. I probably should sit down and practice. Well I guess a journey of a thousand licks starts under ones fingers. Thanks...there's a lot of work ahead.
Brilliant - been looking or something like this. Thanks. Now just have to practice, and practice and practice... Also - have I got it right? If, say, a tune has G - C -G - D etc progression, you play around in the G Pentatonic for the G chord, the C pentatonic for the C chord. etc ? Or G pentatonic all though?
This is a very poor explanation of the scale. Instead of just stating that this is a pattern and here is a shape; he could have mention what frets and which left hand fingering to use on each fret. For those who think this is over their heads go to: Free Banjo Lesson: Moveable Major Pentatonic Scales. A more simple explanation by someone who is not trying to display how great he is.
Lol Eli is a great teacher. You should probably start with the basics of rolling and single string if you weren’t able to figure out that this is a thumb, index pattern.
