Building Blocks to Bluegrass Jamming - The "Cut n Paste" Method by Wil Huckabay
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.

Hi! Wil, I purchased your book from Angie's Banjo several months ago and it is my goto banjo book. It has helped me more than I can tell you. Thanks! My question is when are you coming out with the next book of "up the neck and melodic licks and turn around" that you mention in the current book? I will be first in line! Your faith in The Lord is evident in your book and that is refreshing in our current times. Randy D.
Dear Mr. Huckabay, I received your CnP course two days ago. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. This appears to be exactly what I need at this point in my learning experence. This may be the greatest book ever for this type of lesson. Thank you. Dick Chesser
Hello Wil, I recently purchased your Banjo Building Blocks Cut n Paste and I just love it. I have been playing nearly 2 years and your book has come along at exactly the time and point that I need it. Please get a follow up book done soon. Thanks again for a great book and you can bet I'll buy the next one that you publish. Ross Fox, Ringgold, GA
Pete Wernick - Dr. Banjo (http://www.drbanjo.com/) "The Cut 'n Paste Method" is an easily-digested introduction to the use of movable phrases in makeshift solos. I recommend this book to banjo pickers needing help in "faking" solos in jam sessions (melody-based soloing is not the focus here), as it presents a practical and appropriate method to manipulate the building blocks of Scruggs-style banjo. In a concise format the player learns the principles and some good examples. The door can then be opened to the wide world of banjo licks, using favorites from many different sources."
Find an example of how the "Cut 'n Paste Method" works with Blue Ridge Cabin Home in the June Banjo ezine "Silver Strings."
Keep on Pickin'
