The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
A straight forward version of Angelina Baker in the single string style for banjo. This one is played in 2nd position. That means the 1st finger will hang out around the 2nd fret. Check the banjo tablature for fingering suggestions in the arrangement and licks. The basic melody is out of the pentatonic scale. The full D major scale is also used in the main arrangement and the licks.
Speaking of the licks, there's a nice variety to explore and add into the arrangement. Try adding in some two finger licks to add in some more drive and forward motion. Two finger banjo works very well with the single string style because they both use the thumb and index fingers for the pick hand. There's some cool single string licks that have some "chromatic" and "pentatonic" movement. The single string lick for measure 8 uses an accent pattern. Adding in accents can create groove, add movement, and truly bring the music to life. Try out this lick and experiment with adding your own accents in other licks, parts of this tune, and even in different songs!.
