Hello everyone!
I'm the proud owner of a brand new banjo, and my very first one to!
It's a beginner banjo and there are probably much better banjo's out there, but it seemed a good starter.
I played the guitar before and it's very nice to just sit around the campfire en strum around, without playing a particular song. Know what I mean?
I can imagine that's much more difficult playing the bluegrass banjo. Clawhammer seems easier for freestyling, but I prefer the picking.
My question is, is there a certain pattern in the picking rolls that you can use to freestyle? And which are the rolls to learn?
I now learned Cripple Creek but that toke me pretty long.
When someone starts playing the guitar, I'd like to jump in with the banjo, also if I not know the song. That's why I ask this question.
Greetings from the Lowlands
