Thread Name: Thumb & 1 finger banjo style. Speed?
Subject: RE: Thumb & 1 finger banjo style. Speed?
Come on, it ain't that bad. Pretend your picking a C chord in a six string with the thumb and one finger. The thumb knows to pick 535453545354.... with the finger aletrnating 12121212...

Start is slow and work up. You can do this!!! It really ain't hard because it is real European (no back beats? ) See, I don't know no theory but stll, this picking pattern is no tough to learn 'cause everytime the thumb pick the finger picks next. Then once you get this part down you can mess with it and tell the thumb to leave some stuff out or vice versa.

Come on, give it a try. Thumb, finger, thumb, finger... an so on.
