This easy melodic étude for Dueling Banjos is a great introduction to the melodic style. Étude is a french word for study. Here, you will study and use the melodic scale that matches each chord while playing those iconic melody lines from Dueling Banjos. Those easily recognizable scale lines are usually played at the beginning of the tune and in "free time", without a truly steady beat. Here, they are played over the "breakdown" section where the banjo solos at full speed with guitar accompaniment. Since this is an basic version, you'll play the lead half as fast as the banjo normally would.
There are many licks and variations to explore after you get the hang of the basic arrangement. Use the focus feature whenever you need to. Pay close attention to the fingering suggestions in the banjo tablature.
