great job Jack! love the third pattern for sure, sounds cool! mixing them i never thought of. will have to try that.

[@BanjoSkills]

Thanks so much! Yeah so I would normally start with that bouncing bassline type backup and then just start incorporating other patterns as they might fit in well. I find that pretty useful to coming up wtih an accompaniment that keeps that "banjo-y" sound without playing the melody.

[@eeaston5]

Yes! This is just what I needed. Off to practice… 😂

You’re about my favorite banjo channel, and there’s a lot of banjo channels out there. And remember when you play Boil That Cabbage Down to be sure to be aware of those pumas in those crevices. Ref: ruclips.net/video/Vn-eOvqWO7I/видео.htmlsi=f1-6DkQ9YrOlbW-W

[@BanjoSkills]

Never saw that before, thanks for that! The "No" at "take it Tom!" was great

[@rjwh67220]

@@BanjoSkills Unreconstructed folkies of my generation, i.e. boomers, will immediately recognize the puma references.
