This is a transcription of Ben Eldridge's banjo kickoff solo from the "Live At The Cellar Door" album. Ben blends single string and Scruggs style banjo playing so smoothly. He was a very stylish and sophisticated player. Check out the licks for some Scruggs variations and scale patterns using single string and melodic picking styles. These scalar patterns are simple, but can add a lot of excitement and a sense of movement into a solo. It's great tension and release!
