Few things in life are as good as singing your heart out with a 5-string banjo in your lap.
But, as you may have discovered for yourself, it’s a wee bit harder than it looks!
In order to pull it off, you have to:
- Precisely control your picking hand.
- Precisely control your fretting hand.
- Precisely control your vocal cords.
- Remember the words.
- Remember the melody!
- Stay on key.
Plus, you’ve got to do all that without making the half-constipated banjo face or, worse yet, drool all over yourself and validate every banjo player stereotype ever created!
It’s like juggling 8 tennis balls while balancing a unicycle resting on the horn of a sleep-deprived rhino (amiright?)!
But rest assured, it can be done!
And learning to do it is simply a matter of breaking the process down into easy to manage steps, and avoiding the stumbling blocks that are so common.
This “Singing & Playing Crash Course” is designed to do just that. In this live session, you’ll learn:
- How to know what notes to play when you sing.
- What NOT to play while you’re singing.
- What picking patterns work best when you’re singing.
- What picking patterns to avoid when you’re singing.
- How to find a key that suits your voice.
- What chord voicings to use.
- and more!
The replay of the session will be available in the Breakthrough Banjo live sessions archive.
