that banjo seen some things

I taught myself to play acoustic guitar more than once. 2 reasons I wanted to play banjo. 1 cripple creek, 2 foggy mountain breakdown..... I can't even play banjo with lessons.

Minute 6:14 - 7:14 may be the most concise, useful and essential single minute of banjo instruction I’ve ever seen.
The 3 rolls, in 1 musical phrase. It’s an exercise that has immediate, practical, and univerasl application.
It’s all well and good to practice those rolls, but it’s a whole different thing going rom one to another.
Mastering that phrase just ups anyone’s game for accompaniment and for learning licks in melodies. Thank you, sir.
I see lots of metronome work in my immediate future.

Long time guitar player here. Always wanted to pick up a banjo, but was too afraid, then I came across this video. My banjo arrived just now!
Thank you for this lesson.

I trust this man with learning because that banjo tells how much he plays

I could die happy if I could just play that intro!!!

Wow is that an Earl Scruggs signature! thats amazing

72 just got my first banjo, love it

Bought my first banjo about 8 months ago and just now getting the chance to sit down and learn it. I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years now, and while I'm still no professional, I believe I can tell a decent instructor when I see one. I watched your "how to tune your banjo" video in this series and became a subscriber at about the 2 minute mark. You are not only a fantastic banjo player, but an excellent teacher. Thank you sir, you rock!

Just bought me a banjo. Came by this video and i really liked it. I think i need to watch this often while practising. I'll see how long it will take to get somwhat the hang of it. Tha ks fot the video ! 👍🏼😊

You are probably the smoothest, clearest and swiftest player I have seen, and I took up the instrument in 1968!  You make me feel so inadequate, but you drive me on, to work hard to better all the aspects of my 5 string activities.

Thank you! You tied it all together for me.

Beings I'm broke on accounta these Convid Daze, I'm thankful there's something beneficial & free for me. Boatloads of thx, John.

Howdy John, greetings from the olde country ...... Ireland 🇮🇪

Hi here Brazil, thanks for lesson ! God Bless !

Best tutorial video out there. Great teacher

Thank you for these videos, John. I was paying for lessons on Udemy, but you give better information. And for free! I'm using that Udemy payment to support you on Patron instead. Thanks again!

you do this at a reasonable pace. many other beginning banjo videos spend like 15 minutes on 10 different exercises to practice one roll

This is awesome this is perfect for a good fundamental start
