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.

In this video, Bill gives you an overview of what you’ll learn in his Creating Bluegrass Banjo Solos course. His primary objective is to give you the basic tools for building your own solos from scratch, starting with finding the bare-bones melodies for vocal songs and instrumental tunes. Once you can do that, he’ll show you how to flesh out that skeleton melody with a full range of three-finger banjo techniques such as rolls, left-hand embellishments, and licks.
