What are Banjo Rolls?
Rolls are the very essence of finger style banjo, it’s what gives the banjo its distinct sound. A roll means a short sequence of finger strokes that is repeated round in a loop, and normally you will not play the same string twice in a row or use the same finger/thumb twice in a row either – so you play a different string with a different finger on every consecutive note.
The most important rolls are Square Roll and Forward Roll.
