Miniseries #009, Reno Style II



Hi Everyone,
One aspect of the Reno style is the use of single string passages. This video is for right hand practice.
I must say first off, that I am no expert in the Reno style. What I am going to try to translate to you, is how I interpret some of things Reno has already done. The first thing I worked on was the thumb and index approach as seen in this video. Practice that first, then, move on to playing a forward roll (TIM)(i made a verbal mistake in this video calling it TMI, but its (TIM) on one string, and also the backward roll,(MIT) on one string.
Later in this series, we will mainly mix TI, TIM, and MIT to work on some single string ideas.
Keep it Going.
David

About Me

My photo
In 2009, at the age of 60, I decided to learn to play the 5-string banjo. I searched the internet for lessons and struck gold when I found David Cavage's free banjo lessons at Musicmoose.org. His video hosting site revver.com was having some serious problems at the time so I downloaded as many of the lessons as I could whenever they became available. Revver.com stopped operating shortly afterwards and, sadly, Musicmoose.org is no more. I contacted David early 2020 and he told me he no longer had the original master videos and feared they may have been lost forever. This amazing course of free banjo lessons, from absolute beginner to advanced player, is too good to be forgotten, so this is my attempt to get David's work back out there again so that he can teach, inspire and spread the joy of banjo pickin' to more generations of budding musicians, just like he did with me. I've rounded up all the Moose stuff I could find and put it here, so start pickin' and enjoy!-------MooseHerder.
