[@Northyorkspaul]

Fantastic as ever..I never played banjo will be coming from years of on and off guitar fingerpicking ....You lucky you have long fingers!....

Thanks Mike, just about to venture onto the margins of melodic style. Nice primer & guidance & plenty to work on.

Thankyou Mike for an inspiring lesson. Not too advanced for a beginner banjo player aspiring to play melodic style

Mike, can you recommend some sites to find tabs for melodic banjo style songs ?. I really enjoyed this video and hope to hear more. (Bye, Bye, Mr. Scruggs )

[@MikeHeddingMusic]

I have a bunch of melodic banjo tabs on my website. Tony Trischka has some great stuff as does Bennett Sullivan. - Mike

Is Melodic banjo the same as Chord Melody banjo?

[@MikeHeddingMusic]

No, quite different. Melodic banjo is a style that allows you to play note-for-note melodies which is different than Scruggs style which normally approximates the melody. Chord melody is a style where you play the melody while playing 2-4 note chords at the same time. Basically playing the melody and harmony together. - Mike

@@MikeHeddingMusicThis is exactly how I would like to play the banjo. Would this be considered Melodic style? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXa4n5eGlM1jn5I
