6th intervals back-up (slow songs)

From Jonny5 on 5/19/2015 8:11:03 PM

Wow I'm having a blast with this study. Might be because  I love slow songs so much. Finally some fret-wear UTN.

Anyone else out there enjoying this?

Ben...Great Job. I'm getting all misty-eyed.

So glad you're enjoying it! I poured some thought/work into that one, and I hope it bears some fruit in your playing. More like that to come soon!

I tried it at a jam last night and almost pulled it off. What about waltz timing. Is there a demo on your site for a slow waltz, using the 6th intervals, approach?

Great question...I'll try to address waltz timing in a followup lesson!

This is a really interesting lesson and a lot of fun to play along with. I would encourage you all to have a go. It takes a little time to get your head round the left hand fingerings but once you get there it's so simple yet very effective. I hope Ben expands on this, maybe add some roll patterns.

Yes a lot of fun to inject into the weekly jam I attend. It's so nice to finally have a backup technique for slow songs that is tasteful and easy to do.
Our jam group played at our first seniors center on Wednesday. First of many I hope. The leader of our jam complemented me on how 'bluegrassy' my playing was sounding. I've recently learned Ben's version of Nine Pound Hammer(basic) and Big Sciota (basic&intermediate breaks).

Hi Jonny5
Good Job, which tunes did you backup using this 6th interval technique. I'd love to try it out one some tunes.
