The Bela Fleck Scale Technique

[@itsgabbycameron]

this is the banjo pedagogy of the future

[@kenshort5983]

Awesome to know you're doing better. Thanks for sharing.

[@RickyMier]

Thanks for you kind thoughts Ken!

[@RavenYan]

That’s a cute pentatonic pattern😊

[@winkcrittenden6011]

Fire content as always. Would appreciate muting the background music during the explanation though.

[@davidlevitsky7496]

Excellent dissection

[@mikalele]

I haven't played my banjo for a while since starting to play uke, but you are inspiring me to get back to it as I love the sound. Thanks for posting

[@windsurfertx1]

Glad you are OK. Good luck with insurances. This exercise sounds like Lubos Malinos of Druha Trava (czech republic bluegrass band) playing "Bugatti Step". Czech it out some time.

[@williamtsanders]

Homeboy is fretting the drone 💗💗💗

[@GreetersThru-Hike]

Glad you are okay. I am sorry about your car and banjo! Love your lesson.

[@RickyMier]

Thanks for your kind words.

[@superalvedon97]

Awesome and big thanks Ricky! Kudos from Sweden👍

[@RickyMier]

Hey my pleasure Alvin!! I hope to cross paths soon, the pickers up north are great!

[@bloomfieldbluegrass]

Great lesson

[@josephanderson7237]

Glad you’re ok. Sorry about your banjo. Love your videos, very informative and interesting.

[@RichardJanes-xb3zm]

Hi Ricky, thank you! When playing other chords, say C or D should I look for same intervals as on the G example shown here?

[@CrispySonOfA]

Nice lesson man!!

[@Spookytooth92]

Man this video was so quality, and that pajkansneivhtka hat or whatever is fire. But the reason I liked this video regardless of the fact I like all your videos......is dat room color doe. DAT PAINT DOE! So soothing yet alive. Man you got style that just won't stop And yeah the information is best banjo content on KZbin but I just got distracted is all

[@RickyMier]

haha it says 'Pajakema' which is a model train set named by my friend's father for each of the first syllables of his four sons names, Paul, Jacob, Kevin, and Mark. Pajakema is a city consisting of four towns, Paulsburg, Jacobsville, Kevington, and Marcusport. I love you man

[@zenhasontube]

Great lesson. Thanks. First part of that look similar to what Bela plays at Can't Stop Now. Can you and teach transcribe that run also?

[@RickyMier]

Actually yes, you are the second person to request Can't Stop Now, one my next videos will be of the Can't Stop Now from NGR's last show, that cut in particular is one of my favorites. There is another that I'll have to find that has a burning solo worth transcribing for errbody

[@markglore7196]

Killer kick! Nice digs!

[@markglore7196]

Lick! Not kick....sheesh....😑

[@RickyMier]

Haha I got you Mark, thanks !

[@josefdetzer8717]

I love your work.

[@RickyMier]

JOSEF Thanks buddy

[@MadHawkins]

I noticed when you showed the song montage you fretted the 5th with the thumb sometimes. How do you decide when to wrap your thumb around and when to use other fingers on the 5th?

[@Elliotofficial]

Hey Ricky, your videos are great. Thanks for teaching us. Could I please know the name of that groovy background song you have at the beginning? I'd also like to learn it if you have tabs available

[@RickyMier]

Hey thanks Elliot. That song is called Mint 48 off of The New Age Connection album. Unfortunately I don't have that one tabbed out at the moment

[@Elliotofficial]

@@RickyMier thank you Ricky. If I subscribe to Patreon are the tabs organized so I can easily find the ones which match up to the videos?

[@RickyMier]

@@Elliotofficial Yeah brother. The search bar in Patreon works best, all the tabs are easy to find with that.

[@johnapril7909]

who made you new neck that was broken? and can you tell me how much it cost?

[@thorolse]

Dang, didn't know about the car accident! Glad you're good.

[@RickyMier]

Yeah it sucked and I'm still paying for it. Thanks for you sentiments!

[@pegloughran3700]

First, I am glad to hear you are okay. Secondly, I am relieved you were not driving while picking. I am pretty sure even thinking about the banjo while operating a vehicle constitutes “driving under the influence”. Keep up the good work. :)

[@RickyMier]

Haha thanks Peg. Driving while picking sounds dangerous

[@jaredreineck6814]

@@RickyMier leave that to Rushad lol

[@dustinwhaley8677]

Man, if that lick don't liberate my third eye.

[@RickyMier]

Money back guaranteed baby

[@DjangoStock]

Fire!

[@RickyMier]

haha I love you man

[@BlueRidgeMountainMan]

Give um hell!

[@RickyMier]

[@ProfileP246]
