5-String Banjo Lesson: "Little Cabin Home On The Hill"

Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 15:00. Guitar chords are provided on-screen.
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of the popular Bluegrass tune "Little Cabin Home On The Hill."
On this video I teach the tune lick by lick, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts.
Free downloadable tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy.

Split-screen is an excellent tool for teaching.
Thank you.

God bless you for your incredible service to aspiring banjo players everywhere. I learned dueling banjos in about 3 months, I thought it would take me 10 years when I first heard it. God love ya'

Hi from England, just wanted to say, this is by far the best banjo tutorial channel I've come across on RUclips. It's really got me into playing banjo, coming from a guitar background. So thanks. Also, could I make a request for a video/tab on flint hill special?

[@ayodelingyeti5654]

We need you to do a tab for ghost riders in the sky! Pretty please :-)

[@junkysharpnose]

[@user-br1zc8vt2q]

Greetings from Germany

Awesome stuff. I just picked up a banjo recently and I couldn’t find any help until your videos. Is there any way you could do one some time on ghost rider in the sky I love that song and I don’t think anyone can do it better than you

[@samsteyer7589]

Could you please do a tutorial on Foggy Mountain special

[@JustinHollandFitness]

Do you think you could do Folsom prison blues the solo part but for a five string bluegrass banjo style?

[@daytoneman]

Hey Bill, can you tab a version of My grandfather’s clock some time? Thanks!
