Bennett Sullivan's 30 Bluesy Banjo Licks

Bluesy Bluegrass Licks, Bends & Phrases

Bennett Sullivan’s collection of 30 Bluesy Banjo Licks will majorly expand your vocabulary of Bluegrass banjo licks, bends and bluesy phrases.

"Whether you’re creating contemporary banjo songs or jamming over traditional bluegrass tunes, tying in some bluesy licks, bends, and phrasing is a great way to add more dimension to your sound and broaden your appeal beyond the scope of traditional bluegrass music.

To help build out your bluesy banjo vocabulary, I’ve put together this collection of 30 licks which you can incorporate into your playing as is, or tweak them and make your own.

In this collection, we’ll explore bluesy banjo lines over backing tracks in G, C, and D – the most common open positions, which can be connected together to create longer lines and can also be easily transposed with a capo.”

You’ll have all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.

Grab your banjo, and let’s dig in with Bennett Sullivan!
