a review without hearing it is pointless

Thank you! Bought a banjo 10 days ago. I been playing guitar for 13 years so a little bit transfers over but this is really a different animal. This is my second song. I got gospel plow down. Also in double C tuning. I tried to get the cuckoo but i was really struggling with it (which was incredibly frustrating because i can play that on guitar very well) but ill return to it. I can do this one though. Ill practice this a while thanks

When you want people to compare, play both !!!!

Some of those phrases kind of reminded me of those old fashioned carnivals.

This has made me blow the dust of my banjo and give learning it another go. You're a great teacher! :)

Awesome!

This is literally the only song I’m having any trouble learning every other song takes like 10 minutes this one I can’t

Jack I love listening to you! You enjoy what I call "the dark notes" which is basically the minors. You inspire me! BTW My folk/grunge song is complete music and all. BORN IN '71 I'll be posting my amateur recorded video on social media sites by March 11th my birthday. Maybe sooner.

Love the alternate string pull offs!

Holy crap I think you just took my jamming game up a whole level. Thank you! Super fun to start to play with along with chord progressions to get me away a bit from simple chord progressions but without having to jump to melody notes just yet.

You're teaching me plenty and I'm not even playing clawhammer. You're awesome!

What about chords? Do you just pick a chord shape that fits where your finger is, or do have some tips of that as well?

May I ask what the banjo is you play on most all your modern vids? Its a lovely look.

Is that your pup Jolene on your shirt???

Is that the thumb plucking motion you warned us about when clawhammering in your 3 mistakes video ?Or is this an “acceptable technique”? Please read this as a genuine question and not sarcastic internet trolling. Just want to be sure.

Hello Jack. Sound Advice Man. Sound Advice. Respect. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, before it's too late; Happy New Year. STP

Best advice you could give. Example: when I started playing banjo Scruggs style. Earl anchored both ring and little fingers on the banjo head. I spent almost two years before giving up. What a waste of time.😢

just discovered your channel dude and what Godsend! I was wondering if you ever cover any Benjamin Tod or Mark Heckler stuff? Glad to see clawhammer making a comeback as I'm currently OBSESSED. Keep up the awesome work!

Lovely, thankyou, it would be good to see your left hand too 😊

Nice 4.5 string guitar

keep rocking it. one of my go to channels for learning banjo.

NICE!!!

Just starting out, I’m such a hack!

👍👍

Ive been working on my ear. Ive figured a couple songs by ear and just trying to develop that skill. Though i should work on theory but theres always a reson not to lol dont judge me

A lot better than tab. Thanks!

I always had trouble getting it going. I never felt comfortable with it. I'll try it one more time. says Judy Corrette

99% of the old-time banjo players used instruments that cost practically nothing or that they had made themselves. Whyte Laydie tone rings and tree of life inlays would have had them baffled.

Great advice!

Grab the tabs at banjoskills.com/starter-pack

Nice!

Wonderful.

Thanks so much for this!!! I love it!!!❤

I'm just starting. I'd like to learn Clawhammer banjo. I'm in-tune and working on my bum-ditty

I want to keep learning and improving with my clawhammer playing (thanks to your continued teachings, Jack !)

I've heard from other banjo players that there are no 1, 4,5 chords in sawmill but I always felt like that they just didn't know the chords. I searched and this is the first youtube video that explains these chords.

Black Eyed Susie Brown...I can just hear Ralph Stanley as you play. Love it.

Im a beginner clawhammer player ahd I read its important to learn double thumb technique FIRST before the bum-diddy because if I learn bum-diddy 1st THEN double thumb it wd be extremely difficult. Im confused so please advice !!!

Thanks for the tabs and easy to see demo of fingering! Boy, groundhog are a bit fatty sometimes but makes really good stew and soup! the next one that makes home under your garden shed, try it!! Surprised anyone commented about that...?? yet.

This is excellent I have been struggling on and off for years your explanation on how to take a simple melody and slowly build it into a claw hammer version is probably the most helpful bit of information I’ve come across. I can now take versions that are either too basic or too complicated, break them down to the basic melody and then build them into something I enjoy and can play. Thanks so much!!!!!! From Tasmania Australia.

I'm an absolute beginner on banjo (fair with guitar & mandolin) and this is just what I needed.

As Always, Lovely Touch. Merry Christmas Jack. STP

Sir, what kind of strings are you using?

I sent you my email but darn I could not get to where I could down load any PDF songs 🤨

Merry christmas sir. Greetings from belgium.

2:53 Why do you play lazy john on the neck and not the pot? I’m a novice and trying to understand different styles of play.

Nice One Jack. Merry Christmas. Many Thanks. STP

Thank you Jack and Merry Christmas!
