You’ve learned solos to songs and instrumentals, how to accompany people using rolls and vamping, great bluegrass banjo licks, and lots more, but in this lesson you’ll learn how to put all those things together as you play a song from beginning to end with a band. Bill uses the song “Blue Ridge Cabin Home” to demonstrate the banjo’s role in a band and what kinds of accompaniment patterns and licks he chooses to play depending on what else is happening in the song. This lesson incorporates material from the Blue Ridge Cabin Home, Vamping, Forward-Roll Backup, and Up-the-Neck Backup lessons.
