Do you watch pros playing solos up and down the neck and wonder if it’s some form of WITCHCRAFT???
Or perhaps that maybe they have some SECRET KNOWLEDGE about the fretboard that you don’t?
If any or all of the above is true, then congratulations, you’re in good company!
Because that describes the majority of banjo players out there.
And it’s not your fault, either.
It is true that music is organized in a very logical way, and the banjo fretboard reflects that logic.
HOWEVER…
Banjo players haven’t had a SYSTEM that both breaks down that logic in a useful and easily understandable way, and that gets that knowledge off the page and into their fingers.
Guitarists have long had the CAGED system for mastering the fretboard, but banjo players haven’t had anything similar (I know because I searched for such a system for YEARS!)
And the absence of such a system is why it’s normal for a banjo player to be:
- limited to playing in one or two keys,
- with a limited number of chords,
- and only in traditional genres of music (e.g. bluegrass, old-time).
And we can’t just borrow the CAGED System from guitar friends because a banjo isn’t played or tuned like a guitar!
Well, banjo players…rejoice, because now there’s the BRIGHT Banjo Fretboard Mastery System.
