Reply To: 10 Licks In The Key Of G Beginner Banjo

[Mike]

You could try sliding to 4 instead of 3 which would make it a little less bluesy sounding.

But otherwise, no, lick #3 (either first half or second part) should work fine in Will The Circle Be Unbroken or Roll In My Sweet Baby’s Arms.

My guess is it’s a timing issue which is causing the lick to not sound correct in the song.

Can you record yourself playing the lick and post it in the other section of the forum and I can take a look?
