I have just recently begun playing banjo. I really like the sound of the "square roll." #Just tonight I thought I would try to pick that pattern on the mandolin to see how it works and sounds. #Although it is a 5 string banjo arpeggio I don't belive it falls into the category of "crosspicking." #I am getting it up to speed enough to use it as a backup rhythm and it sounds kind of cool. #Does anybody else use a pattern like this on mando?
Here is a link to a Tabledit file I created of a 1 4 5 1 4 1 5 1 progression to demonstrate.
