Hey y'all, Jim Pahnke here.
I wanted to show you a simple little melodic idea
that you can go ahead and inject into some of the [N] stuff that you already know.
If you've been through my 10 lesson series and you learned Cripple Creek,
then you can use this lick in Cripple Creek.
And I'm going to show you how at the end of this, how to do it.
But this lick comes up a lot in melodic banjo.
And I'm going to show you the lick and show you some little variations on it.
You will see this as you're playing,
and you're going to see that it comes up quite a bit as you advance
and as you learn more melodic tunes.
This position is super useful, so hang on to it.
It's good stuff.
All right, so you're going to take your index finger
and you're going to put it on the third string at the fifth fret.
It's right there.
And then you're going to take your ring finger
and you're going to put it on the fourth string at the seventh fret.
So five and seven.
And you say, Jim, that's kind of a stretch.
Well, it is and it isn't.
It's a good idea to get used to skipping.
You know, you've got a finger per fret,
but you're going to index and ring.
And then the other strings are open.
So if you just played through it [Am] like a chord,
[G] that's almost a lick in [C] itself.
The pattern that I would like you to use just to start with
is just an alternating roll.
Three, two, [B] four, [Am] one.
[D]
[C] So [C#] three, [A] two, [D] four, one, [C] or [B] thumb, [A] index, [D] thumb, ring.
[C] [D]
And then you're going to [G] pick it up and do a three-pinch.
[C] [D] [G]
You've got that.
That [C] little lick
[D] [G] is something you can tuck [D] into other songs.
You could do it different.
You could do four, two, three, one.
[G]
So one [F#] time you could play it,
[G] and then the next time you could do it off the [B] four.
[D] [G] You could, [C] [A] [G] and that kind of [D] goes right down the musical scale,
and that's why we hold this position.
It sets us up to play a scale.
So [C] one, [Bm] three, two, [A]
four is the [D] pattern I'm doing [Bm] there.
[G] And that's three-pinch.
Anything works.
You could do [A]
four, [C] [B] three, [Bm] two, one [Am] if you wanted to.
[G] And [Am] I'm doing that thumb, [B] index, [G] thumb, middle.
And I'll tab each of these out.
I really don't think you need them.
[A] [B] [Am]
[G] All kind of patterns.
Now I told you, I'll show you how that works in Cripple Creek.
And it's basically a lick that fits over D.
So if you've [N] got a quick D at the end of a song,
like we do in Cripple Creek, I don't know,
we never really talked about it,
but it goes to a D chord and then right back to G.
This is a lick that'll fit there.
So let me show you.
So the way that we played Cripple [A] Creek [G] was we did a hammer.
[Em] [G] You could substitute this lick for the hammer-on.
Watch.
[D] [G] See how that sounds?
But you could change the order of strings on that lick.
[A] [G]
[D]
[G] Any way you want to [D] do it is fine.
You could [G] do it one time with a hammer, hammer.
Now the second time we're going to use our melodic lick.
[D] [G] See how that works?
You can do this.
I know you can.
And you're going to start playing some melodic style banjo.
And before you know it, you're going to add to it and add to it and add to it.
And you're going to be able to string a lot of melodic ideas together.
I just know you can.
Y'all, thanks for watching this super short video today.
I know it's not a big, long thing and you're not learning the song,
but I think it's the concept that's important enough
that you should spend a little bit of time with it.
And it's going to help you and you'll benefit from it.

And that'll get you some notifications when I post new things.
All right, folks.
See you next time.
[D] I wanted to continue a little bit and give you a new lick,
and that was just the continue what?
I don't even know.
