Ricky, thanks for these entertaining videos! You are the closest thing to a Banjo Rock Star I have seen since Stringbean! Will you make a video featuring the mad scientist of the banjo please? I love you man!

@larakeithley3785 6 years ago

Yes! This is exactly what I'm working on! That pinch of salt probably makes all the difference! 😁😁😁

which Metal Gear is your favorite?

Thanks for the video!! Can you share some rolls and licks you like to use for your up the neck backup?

@logaromaticrhythm 6 years ago

Here you go, how do you handle back up in drop C given most common back up licks use the 4th string which is now tuned down? E.g. "I ain't gonna work tomorrow"

Hey Ricky, I was wondering if you could give more information on your midi controller, I looked them up and it seems that there is several to choose from. What name brand do you have? And any info for identifying. If you don’t mind, when you get time. Thanks 😊
