We’re going to take a moveable G major scale on our 1st string and harmonize it with notes on our 3rd string. These notes, along with our 5th string, will allow us to move around the fretboard while doing a roll with our right hand. This is great practice for getting your index finger playing on the 3rd string which is a common thing beginning banjo players struggle with (I know I did.)
Best of all, it’s a moveable pattern so you can use this lesson to play in any key! Download the tab that follows along with the exercises!

Rated 5 out of 5
Mike delivers an excellent “package”! His lessons are direct and to the point. I like the fact that you can purchase as little as one song at a time at very affordable price. Lessons also includes, full screen video of right hand and left hand as well as the tab embedded in the screen. Mike will walk/talk you through the entire tune as he plays at a slow enough speed, making it easy to follow. Highly recommended!
