Learn These Licks First

[@AllenMiley-x1u]

I am 67 years old and trying to learn to play the banjo. Another thing is that I am left handed and it is like a person craving another piece of pie. I am trying to study and learn everything I can about the Banjo. Thank you for the videos. Allen

Really enjoying you tutorials. Been playing 30+ years and learn something new each time. I’ve gotten a lot of milage out of your “D” tunes for banjo.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I SWEAR you were teaching banjo the one year I was able to make it KAUFMANN CAMP way back in 2006, but I could be mistaken, I was there to learn mandolin from Roland White, John Moore, Don Steirenberg, and Alan Bibey!! And I love the sound of your banjo, sounds like Courtney Johnsons did!!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yep, that was me back in the "good ol days!" RIP Roland ):

Should these rolls all be practiced at the same time end to end or practice one roll one day and another the next. And how long should a beginner at rolls practice. What do you usually instruct a student?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

I usually go over one roll at a time, say the alternating roll and then have the student learn a song that primarily uses that roll, like Cripple Creek. Then do the same with the forward/backward roll and Banjo in the Hollow, etc. Same with these licks, learn one or two and find a song that uses them as suggested in the video.

[@coleferguson4770]

What is the song in the intro?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

That's Rapid Transit, the title cut from my 2008 album. I've had lots of requests for that, but so far haven't put together a video on it. You can find it on Spotify and other streaming services.
