St Anne's Reel: Banjo Lesson

G’day! In this banjo lesson we’ll take a look at an arrangement of the traditional tune, St Anne’s Reel. A very pretty tune, played in a melodic style, we’re in the Key of D and the banjo is in standard tuning (G D G B D).

In this jam packed lesson we’ll also cover two variations of the D Major scale in standard tuning, plus a back up arrangement on the banjo (avoiding the 5th string when needed!).
