Old Home Place Back Up

From bucksnort2000 on 7/19/2013 8:49:13 AM

I have been working on Easy Song for Banjo.  On Old Home Place, Casey plays some nice little vamping/backup variations.  Where do I learn how to do that?  By the way, this is one of the songs that made me pick up the banjo.  Really enjoying it!

She does it through the whole DVD , I think it's some boogie woogie variations , I just keep watching it and play along it to it, but I am sure it is some advanced back up technique.

Hi Carey
Murphy's - Vamping Beginning Banjo DVD and Casey's Beyond Vamping Fancy Backup DVD covers most of what Casey is playing - Casey also does a standard roll over a sixth or seventh chord in the middle of the progression. Watch how her thumb hooks the fifth string and listen carefully for the note on the fifth string.

Of course I don't have either one of those yet! Thanks for the info. Definitely need to start working more on my backup.

Bucksnort, as Tam Zeb points out, Casey teaches many of her backup licks on her DVD "Beyond Vamping: Fancy Banjo Backup":
