Update on learning from Tims New Banjo Method book

[Ron]

In one of his videos Tim emphasized seeing the "strike" in the triplets.

That goes way beond the triplets into most other complex patterns in

the music. I'm learning to see the "Strikes" in other complex patterns of this music.

Ex: Cotton Pod Walkaround looks baffling until you look at the book while listening to the CD

and identifying the strikes within the complex music

 

This is probably well known to most everyone here but it is very new and helpful to me.

This book is a great help

Thanks Ron. Please, keep alive the topic of Strikes within the music either in a forum, in a pm to me. This is an area of learning the banjo I feel especially passionate about. It have seen this thread from Briggs to Converse 1886, and it is so strongly taught by FBC in his Analytical Method. If there was one cosmic "aha" in my learning the Minstrel banjo...that was it. If I finger banjo songs, or figure them out, I look for the Strike possibilities. With few exceptions, there are there.
