How to Play "Stayin' Alive" on Banjo
Jul 20, 2026The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" is built on one of the most recognizable grooves in music — and that relentless, strutting rhythm is a blast to reproduce on banjo. The syncopation gives your right hand a real workout in the best way.
Getting the feel right is the whole game here: it's a fantastic tune for tightening up your timing and locking into a groove that makes people move.
Our Bluegrass Pop Songs course breaks the rhythm down so you can nail that disco strut on a five-string.
