How to Play "I've Just Seen a Face" on Banjo

The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face" is practically begging to be played on banjo. Paul McCartney wrote it with a galloping, folk-country feel, and that forward momentum sits perfectly under a Scruggs-style roll.

It's a favorite for beginners moving into their first up-tempo song because the chord changes are friendly and the rhythm does a lot of the work for you. Nail the drive and it sounds impressive well before it feels hard.

Inside our Bluegrass Pop Songs course we break the arrangement into bite-sized sections so you can build it up cleanly.
