Tunefox
The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Learn to roll with the changes for the chord progression of Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me on the banjo. Pay attention to the pick hand markings and fret hand fingering suggestions in the banjo tablature.
Read through the tab before playing. Analyze. Do you notice any patterns? We have a two measure picking pattern that is used throughout. We start with a double stop played with a "pinch" on strings 1 & 2. Then there is a continuous forward roll motion. Practice just the roll pattern without any fret hand involvement first. The clearest picture of this is in measures 7 & 8.
Listen to this in Tunefox before playing. This will help you better understand the correct timing. The first pinch, and last note in the pattern are both 8th notes. They last longer than the continuous 16th notes in the forward roll that makes up the bulk of this 2 measure roll pattern.
This could be used as lead or backup. It's all about learning to navigate the chord changes with rolls. The licks will give you even more reusable ideas and vocabulary.
