Great lesson Mike. Jamming season is here and this will fit in perfectly.
I do have a question. Are you able to play this lesson as fast as you do because you have it memorized or do you read tab that fast? And if it’s from memory what do you recommend to us newbies to improve one memorization skills? Thanks again.-
For this lesson I did a combination of memorization and reading the tab in real-time. For some of the up-the-neck backup I memorized the tab.
But for the other parts I just read the tab as I played it.
I did write the arrangement though so it might be easier for me to read it as I play!
You’re certainly welcome to memorize any parts of the tab you need to.
Otherwise, as the speed increases, you may have to look further ahead in the tab to read it in real-time. This takes practice too.

Mike,
I’m working thru this bo lesson, but no way can I keep up with the practice track even at 50 until I memorize the different patterns. So, I’m wondering if you could make a track that loops with each separate roll throughout the excercise so it can be repeated as need be. Especially later this is great practice jumping around the frets. Fabulous lesson-Thanks, Bob-
I’d check out the Soundslice player I have or software called the Amazing Slow Downer if you want to loop certain sections of the practice track.
I’m not sure what you mean about creating loops of each of the exercises. I recorded the tracks playing through the exercises as written so it’d be difficult to create a loop with the recording without additional software like Soundslice or the Slow Downer.
I’d focus on 8 measures at a time when you’re practicing it and I’m sure you’ll get it up to speed with some more practice.
– Mike

Hello. Thank you for this lesson. I’ve been working on the first part mostly and getting better on the forward reverse roll. The forward roll is improving but I really haven’t done much with any of the others. Should I continue focusing on these rolls mostly until I get them down or move on to the rest of the lesson? Again, thank you so much. Dan

Hi Mike,
Thank you! This is great. You mention you put some common songs below that this chord progression goes to (besides the ones you mention in the video: wagon wheel, let it be, etc.). I cant find this list. Can you guide me to it or post it if you havent yet? Thank you!
Have a great evening,
Eric Schweitzer-
Yes, here’s a partial list of songs that use that same progression for reference:

If you have any other questions let me know.
Best,
Mike

Thank you so much for this lesson, Mike! My up-the-neck work has improved a lot, and it really works if you create exercises with moving chords in a context of songs and chord progressions – I used this exercises in Wagon wheel for example. <3

Thank you for the lesson. Is there a list of bluegrass songs specifically to go with this progression? I didn’t see it in the link above, but, could’ve missed it!
Thanks again. Great lesson! -

Hey Mike! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your lessons on YouTube. Your teaching style is so accessible and this lesson in particular has me hooked!
I was wondering, could you upload the backing track on its own without the banjo? I’d love to play over it as you did without any banjo assistance in the track. Thanks! Keep up the great work.
