the last three I learned were Hotel California Hit me baby one more time Toccata and Fugue in D minor post suggestions; if any of them sound halfway decent I will post a recording keep in mind that I'm not very good at this |

Learn the Foggy Mountain roll pattern for banjo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK0y2KFmufc You won't have it down in one day, but once you learn it you can play pretty much any bluegrass song you want |

hmm, I will try this stuff but I am also looking for familiar songs from other genres that would sound good on a banjo the intro to hotel California sounds great on the banjo and hit me baby one more time sounds good as a solo acoustic ballad most of all I like sad minor key songs DISCLAIMER: THIS POST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE |

I had a thought but I'm sure it is way too ambitious the guitar solo from "another brick in the wall" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9isCzW3A8Ww I haven't listened to that thing in years but for some reason I think it would be awesome picked mixing the solo with the harmony behind it obviously the bends would be tricky but I think you could do without them this dude has some of the feel down (mixing the melody and harmony), but he's not doing the solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6mUjuIwoW8 here's the solo acoustically at least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZeNyPkhbP8 |

I want to learn the banjo real bad to play the Irish Fold Music but I still have guitars next to me that I abandoned playing years ago because you can't fail if you don't try. It would be a waste of money. Please learn these songs so that I may live vicariously through you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBNOVhWo5Hg A very impressive banjoing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxBKgOyMzSc Rocky Road to Dublin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlWTASnnft4 Whiskey in the Jar Also we could buy balalaikas I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvWWVub9cc4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRTtefzlmRU

i think here comes the sun is probably a good banjo song. my uncle took the old 4 string gibson banjo that we have from my grandma's family to a music shop a few months ago to see if it could be made playable. i haven't heard back about it, but i will try learning something on it if it can. |

Brent Hinds from Mastodon started as a banjo player, and he shreds on like every song on their new album, so you're probably on the right track |

cda posted:is that really true It's absolutely true, it's one of the reasons why their sound is so weird and unique. Most of the licks and chord progressions he writes are banjo pickings/ progressions. It makes a lot of sense when you really listen to their weird licks they come up with, especially from blood mountain on. Divinations even has a short banjo intro that is just wonderful: https://youtu.be/uxelXPg961M |
