andreas Oberg, if you read this, I just want to tell you: I love you so much, really I can't express in words how much I love you, I want to have 10 children from you OMG, I think my pant's are wet. Oh gosh, did I just write that... That's so awkward... .

Cathy Fink is a master

Thank you for exposing the diverse tunings for the 5string so well. I been banging old time, blues, rags, rockabilly, and even tried surfer sounding rhythms since 1970. Got Pete Seeger's banjo book and learned to get that bumba ditty working, and later other plucks and brushes. I've seen Pete's info on the mountain minor, and never tried it. You did good to show how it works. Tunings I use: you showed dropC, openG, and i like D-A-F-D-a or g for G tunes like 'tennessee stud' which is very myxolodian or that 'a' on the ring string for some real moody minor sounds. Adapted nylon guitar strings to an old Harmony banjo to mellow it out; the bakelite body and plastic head were brash, but the neck and action deserved that string change. Also, I wanted more bass, so I've taken the 1st string over to the other side on a 6string banjo and some guitars; the other strings move one position...: A,1st; F#, 2nd, D, 3rd; A, 4th; D, 5th; d, 6th string like a 5.5 string banjo where one can ring the bass, treble, or both. 'Ring strings, are full neck length. So D tuning, with the same chord positions as G on a 5 string. Works well for slide guitar and allows old time picking styles Everyone Please keep on pickin'

Hey :! Cathy,,you are doing good ! Did you ever try finger picking? it is so much fun !!!!

Different. But fantastic all of them.

i used to think guitar was impossible for me personally. then i got so inspired listening to other musicians i actually sat down and had about a week of 8+ hours a day practicing. i believe anyone can do it, now

Love it!

So beautyfull

Crappy instructions all around. I guess that's what can be expected of a Truefire instructor. "I'm gonna bring that back down to g" BRING WHAT? Where was it before? What's the tuning for 5th to 1st? You'd think an instructor would i dont know, maybe say exactly what the notes are for the specific tunings she's talking about. You're literally just saying a bunch of absolute crap and gave no really useful information.

No! Let’s play like t-bone ok?

Hell yeah that’s what I’m talking about

Kyllä Ibanez soi hienosti mestarin kädessä🎶🎸

FANTASTIC lesson! Thank you! I gottat try that G modal tuning. I'll be back!

John is always so tasty

Saw them in Buffalo WOW

Outstanding Cathy, I started out trying to be Pete Seeger way back in high school then on to Irish music for years. Decades passed with guitars, dobros and bluegrass filling my life. Catching your videos has renewed my first love, old time banjo. My old Wildwood tuba phone now travels with me everywhere. Thank you for helping me back to my personal roots.

This looks like a great video, unfortunately the sound quality is so bad it is hard to listen to. The banjo is very loud and your voice is very low.

Thanks for sharing! Learned a lot :)

Children...it's not about a GTR lick it's the drums!!!!

Very nice

Thank you gentleman, that was nice.

Hey buddy I'm your newest biggest fan. Thanks for the smiles on my face;)

Great stuff Guys -

So loud that you stuffed a sock in it. Loud.

is me and you the only five string players on the planet that is not using finger picks even four and six string players uses it

@ :29 WTF is that Count Dracula stare ?!?! lol .. That is so uncomfortable

ruclips.net/video/hos39vQeXsk/видео.html ......Worth checking out this other version - different format, of course..Roy and Anson, 2 keyboard players (both excellent) & bass & drums..

Hi I am a 80 year old clawhammer trier ,in your opinion would putting top Quality nylon strings on my Deering scooped 5 string be beneficial to my playing Bob Millar ps you are a very clever lady ,the way you play the banjo .

Buongiorno

If one can play piano, you can get multiple drones by holding down the sustain pedal! Nothing more musical than hearing the same notes incessantly. Of course, a bagpipe will give you four drones at once too. You should be aware that Appalacia is losing favor because of coal use so one might have to use makeup on their face to emulate the hard-working poverty flavor by playing a synthesizer set to "banjo."

Good sounds and pretty woman

I play Scruggs style but this would almost convert me.

I am new to Banjo (but old in age, 69) and I am trying to learn Crawhammer banjo. I thought that if you put the capo on the second string, you would have to use the spike on the 7th string. I am not sure if Cathy did that. This is something different and new for me. I am still trying to figure it out. I am also trying to learn three finger (Earl) banjo. And none of my banjos have spikes because where I live and with the pandemic caotic situation here in Brazil I have no way to install spikes in the banjo. I do not want to take the risk of installing them myself. Thanks for any help. Be safe!

Soothes the soul

How old are you ?

A huge secret to the banjo is it's played most often at 5 hertz. - 5Hz makes the brain Synchronize the Beta and Theda Waves, thus putting you into a trance state. You notice those songs right away make you want to dance or at least tap your feet. Welcome to Appalachia.

Thx u for the quick tutorial vdo. :-)

Thanks Kathy that double C tuning is awesome

I want to listen the other guitarists on the scene.

Damn fuckin shredddiiin it !!

Not bad, but not great. For us T-Bone purists the guy with with the hat and the white guitar is playing way too many notes. He has clearly not studied the style and the distinctive, beautiful sound of T-Bone Walker. Way too many notes and reliance on pentatonic shapes and "faking it" by playing extraneous runs that mean nothing. "Less is more" with T-Bone. Behind his deceptive simplicity is a great degree of real musical sophistication. You can't fake T-Bone because it's immediately obvious.

A wireless mic would be a great good addition. Making it easier to understand. Love the banjo

Hell yes...doesn't get better then this!!!

Excellent...

Amazing!

I listen to Jack play his guitar all day and all night and not get tired of hearing him. Keep doing what you are doing.
