Most banjo players think they need more songs, more licks, or more speed.
But often the thing holding them back is timing.
In this free lesson, you'll learn a simple exercise based on the classic Foggy Mountain Breakdown roll that can help you build steadier rhythm, cleaner rolls, and more consistent picking.
This lesson comes from Foundations: 32 Days to Solid Timing, a step-by-step program designed to help banjo players develop stronger timing through short, focused daily practice.
The exercise is built around the Foggy Mountain Breakdown roll—a pattern many players know, but few use intentionally as a timing exercise.
