The G Lick
Considered the "grand daddy" of banjo licks (due to it's frequent use) this lick will be extremely handy and is a right of passage for all bluegrass banjo players. You an use it anytime you're on a G chord, which is often given the banjo is tuned in G and many songs are in the key of G!
Basic Tag Licks
In this lesson we learn some key tag licks. Tag licks are licks you end the bluegrass song with and they are a key part of playing banjo in a jam. These are just a few key tag licks to get you started but over time you'll add many tag licks to your arsenal.
