Bill Cheatham: Melodic Banjo Lesson

Bill Cheatham is a popular, traditional American fiddle tune, in the key of A (capo 2 – string 5 spiked to fret 7). With a melody that is often picked at a fast tempo, this banjo arrangement features the melodic technique, double stops, and some challenging rolls. If you’re familiar with the melodic major scale, it will certainly help, as I’d suggest this tune is suited to the advancing picker. As always, in this lesson we’ll break down the tune and look at some helpful tips.
