In this 5-string banjo lesson, we’ll look at a bunch of melodic & single-string lick ideas, up & down the neck in the key of C (standard tuning). In the lesson we’ll cover licks for the 1 4 & 5 chords (C F G), analyse the ideas and learn the scales & arpeggio shapes that have help build the licks. There is an example break that we’ll pull all the lick ideas out of, and we’ll analyse the ideas against both the chord progression and the scales/arpeggios, working through the thought process. 

We’ll thoroughly break down all the licks and ideas in the lessons and while this lesson is aimed at the advanced picker, players of all levels will be able to gain valuable insight into the process of improvising in a melodic style.
