Jedi Banjo?

Hi Patrick,

Had a try at the Bluegrass Frailing riff that you showed us the other day.

Its tricky! I’ll never get it Master Yoda.

So I followed the tab which is very hard slow going for me ( bit thick) then tried closing my eyes and using the force and the sounds began to flow.

“Luke turn off the guidance system and reach out with the Force”

Cheers,

    Very good, James, thank you.

    I only wish that I could be as quick on the uptake.

    Hi James,

    It was a pleasure to listen to this bluegrassfrailing you did. Just brilliant! Thank you fo sharing this with us, and thanks for commenting on my podcast. I try to be very desriptive when talking about the mandolin or banjo. Great job keep up the great work. Wish I could play like that.

    Musically,
    Marissa AKA Allison

    Great stuff our James, closing the eyes seems to work for bluegrass.
    Don’t try it in the day job though
