banjo solo
Unaccompanied string feature
A banjo solo is a passage in a musical piece where the banjo plays alone or takes the melodic lead while other instruments drop out or provide minimal accompaniment.
Common in bluegrass, folk, and country music, solos showcase the player's technique—rapid fingerpicking, rolls, and slides: He ripped into a banjo solo that brought the crowd to its feet.
