Banjo Licks — Why Learning By Ear Changes Everything
Why learning by ear changes everything

When you train your ear
alongside your technique,
the banjo starts to feel less like
memorization… and more like music.

Instead of relying on tabs for every note, you begin to:

01

Hear chord movement naturally

02

Recognize melodies faster

03

Improvise with confidence

04

Build better timing

05

Create your own sound

"Bennett's lessons have turned the page for me. I've been weak with my backup banjo for years, and now I'm learning by ear better than I ever have."
— Bob P., Banjo Licks member

That's why Banjo Licks combines:

ear training backup playing timing development repetition with recordings real musical application

The result is a deeper understanding of bluegrass music —
and the freedom to actually participate in it.

"For the price, it's the best deal out there. One private lesson costs more than a month of this — and I'm making more progress."

Banjo finally became fun.

I made 3 records and toured with Rod Stewart playing Fiddle, Mandolin, Dobro, and Guitar. Banjo was always elusive and difficult for me, but Banjo Licks makes this endeavor fun.

Banjo Licks — FAQ
Still Have Questions?

Common Questions From Players Like You

Straight answers to help you feel confident about joining Banjo Licks.

Do I need to know music theory?

No. Banjo Licks is designed to help you develop musical understanding naturally through listening, repetition, timing, and real-world application. You'll build the skills you need without getting bogged down in complicated theory.

Is this beginner friendly?

Yes. Whether you're just starting out or trying to break through a plateau, the learning paths are designed to guide you step by step at your own pace.

How much time should I practice?

Even 10–20 focused minutes a day can create meaningful progress when practiced consistently. The goal is steady growth, not endless practice hours.

What if I've always struggled to play by ear?

That's exactly why Banjo Licks exists. Most players were never taught how to actually hear music. The system helps you gradually develop that skill through practical, musical exercises and real songs.

Will this help with jam sessions?

Absolutely. Timing, backup playing, chord movement, listening, and improvisation are all built around real musical situations so you can play with more confidence in jams and with other musicians.

What's included in the membership?

You'll get full access to the complete course library, step-by-step learning paths, backing tracks, tabs, jam resources, community features, and all new lessons added during your membership.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Both monthly and annual memberships can be canceled anytime directly through your account settings. No hassle, no penalties.

Can I watch on any device?

Yes. Banjo Licks works on desktop, tablet, and mobile so you can learn wherever and whenever it's convenient for you.

What makes Banjo Licks different?

Most banjo instruction focuses on memorization. Banjo Licks focuses on helping you actually hear and understand the music so you can build timing, improvise naturally, and play with real confidence.

What if I get stuck or have questions?

You're not learning alone. The community and member resources are there to help you stay motivated, ask questions, and keep progressing.
