Little Lion Man Banjo Cover Tutorial FULL VERSION

IMPORTANT NOTE:
the second part of the bridge is 9 -10 - 0, not 10 - 11 - 0. The roll pattern for that is 3-2-1. Sorry!

Also, another tutorial can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7tLGFL2lU&feature=related !

There is another video on my channel here that goes into more detail on the post-chorus roll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYP_K_OpONU

Please spread this around, I'm sure plenty of people have been wanting to play this song for quite some time!

Message me or comment with questions and or requests on the song, hope this helps!

@ameganforlife The more you know haha! Thanks for watching anyways

I can play the same way when I use a 6 string banjo? am a beginner and do not even have guitar skills. what if I would help ^ ^ ( i hope google was a good translator xD )

[nubnubs27]

@jakolt123 Hi there! A six stringed banjo is most likely a banjitar, which is a mix between a banjo and a guitar. It would be tuned like a guitar ( e a d g b e) so this tutorial wouldn't work for that instrument. Hope that helps!

Thanks :] finally someone who know what they are talking about :]

I wonder how winston does it though

[nubnubs27]

@awsinger1 i feel like he may do it a little different, but i'm glad this works!

[Papercut468]

Instead of the 5th string capo, you can also do what Winston Marshall himselve does, and that is tuning your 5th string up to A, hope it helps a little

[TheJuggleBoy]

is there any way i could get a tab for this

[maddiemoo4195]

For those of you wondering about the little capo on the 5th string, you can get little "railroad spikes" attached to your banjo. All they are are little metal hooks that you can slip your fifth string underneath and it holds it in place the same as a capo would. I have them on my 6th and 8th frets and if I need it the fifth string on a different note, I just raise the tuning. As far as I know, they're easy to install! I had mine installed by a professional, though.

For those having trouble playing the bridge because of that quick switch, try this:

11-9-10-0 relative to capo with a roll of 4-3-1-3-2-1.

It's the same notes but you can hold your finger position.

This is excellent! You are very thorough in your explanations and skilled with the banjo.

I would argue, however, that the roll pattern is either 5 2 3 1, or he at least switches to that roll pattern periodically. Try starting the Bm in the chorus with it and tell me what you think.
