The final lesson includes some challenging pieces that use many of the techniques that were studied throughout the book. Once you are comfortable playing the pieces in this lesson try applying the techniques to some of the songs found earlier in the book.
The first piece is an interesting arrangement of Banks of the Ohio. The first part is an accompaniment style that makes full use of melody picking. The second part, played in the banjo picking style, could be used as an instrumental.
Now a fun song called Mama Don’t Allow. This piece combines melody picking with chord based licks similar to the licks in Lesson 7 . Particular attention should be given to the root 6 and root 5 bar chords (see end of Lesson 7 ).
The final piece in this book is a fingerpicking solo that uses many of the techniques outlined throughout the book including banjo picking chords, bass runs, hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides. Attention should be given to the suggested left hand fingering.
