In this video, Bill shows you how to add the forward-reverse roll to the melody of “Worried Man Blues,” which you learned to play in an earlier lesson. You’ll be relieved to know that there isn’t a hard-and-fast rule about getting every single melody note into your solo. Your ear will fill in some of the missing notes, and the rolls will maintain the momentum of your solo.

| Two Essential Banjo Rolls, Part 4: Adding Rolls to “I’ll Fly Away” |
In this video, Bill returns to "I'll Fly Away," the melody of which he played in an earlier lesson. First he picks out the bare-bones melody, and then he shows you how to build your own solo using the melody supported by alternating thumb and forward-reverse rolls, plus a few left-hand embellishments.
