Lick of the Week - Banjo Rollin' with Albert Lee!

[mark wein]

This weeks lesson is all about using our hybrid picking learned in the last video to do some (very slowed down) banjo-style rolls. Each measure works over a specific chord and the last measure is just a stock flatpicking lick in G that I thought would tie things up nicely. As I've been woodshedding Alberts playing this week I've discovered that while there are really some crazy technical things going on quite a bit of it isn't all that hard to play at a slow tempo. It's just that the tempos that Albert can play these things at is absolutely eye-popping. http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/images/smilies/bigg.gif

Very useful lesson, Mark. I might have a chance at this if I can train my picking fingers.

Coach said I had drain bramage, but I'll show him.

:D


I actually pulled a few of these licks out on my gig this weekend. The look on the drummers face was pretty priceless. :o
