Building Blocks for Bluegrass Jamming for 5-String Banjo Book/CD
Building Blocks for Bluegrass Jamming for 5-String Banjo Book/CD - Introducing the "Cut n Paste" Method Vol. 1 by Wil Huckabay is out now!
Has there ever been an instance where you've watched several strangers come together and begin jamming to a song they’ve never played together before? And when it comes the banjo player’s turn he/she will crank out a break that sounds like they’ve been playing the song for years even though it might be their first time to play it. How does this happen? This is what the “Cut n Paste Method” (CnP) is all about.
CnP is designed to help the banjo player create a break to any song just by knowing only its “chord formula.” CnP is NOT designed to create a melody break. That can come later. CnP is designed for the banjo player to SURVIVE and contribute in a jam situation. This method enables you to participate in a jam in a matter of weeks or months rather than years.
This book gives clear instructions on how to use licks to create breaks to any song, how to find the "chord formula" to a song, lick cards for G, C and D licks and a CD demonstrating licks and breaks to songs such as "I'll Fly Away, Man of Constant Sorrow, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and more. Plus, playalong tracks to all the songs in Slow and Up Tempo.
Wil Huckabay has been teaching this method to his students with a lot of success. I should know. I'm one of his students. I'm more comfortable jamming with others now and not worrying about what song we'll be jamming to. All I need to know before taking a break is the "chord formula" to the song and just use the licks I've learned from this book to create my own breaks. It's a ton of FUN!
Keep on Pickin'
