Lesson #105, Cumberland Gap I



Hi All,

Throughout these next videos and this next series of five string banjo lessons, we are going to have quite a lengthy discussion about our next song, that being the Cumberland Gap. Along with breaking this song down note for note, we will also be discussing Relative minors, more on chords, and a very important scale called the pentatonic scale. Aspects of these lessons will carry themselves over to any type of music you wish to pursue on the five string banjo, especially the fundamentals of Bluegrass, Blues, Rock, and Jazz. Keep it Rollin Everyone.

David

About Me

My photo
In 2009, at the age of 60, I decided to learn to play the 5-string banjo. I searched the internet for lessons and struck gold when I found David Cavage's free banjo lessons at Musicmoose.org. His video hosting site revver.com was having some serious problems at the time so I downloaded as many of the lessons as I could whenever they became available. Revver.com stopped operating shortly afterwards and, sadly, Musicmoose.org is no more. I contacted David early 2020 and he told me he no longer had the original master videos and feared they may have been lost forever. This amazing course of free banjo lessons, from absolute beginner to advanced player, is too good to be forgotten, so this is my attempt to get David's work back out there again so that he can teach, inspire and spread the joy of banjo pickin' to more generations of budding musicians, just like he did with me. I've rounded up all the Moose stuff I could find and put it here, so start pickin' and enjoy!-------MooseHerder.
