- Claim ID
- slots-and-variants
- Assertion
- Banjoists' licks are interchangeable to a degree within metrical and harmonic 'slots'; there is no single canonical form for a given slot, and each player develops personal variants, even the most idiosyncratic players using their own licks to fill formulaic slots.
- Quote
For any given metrical and harmonic slot of a given length, there is no single canonized form; rather, each instrumentalist will employ his own variants of the many possible ways of playing.
