Hey man, just want to say that thanks to you, I bought my first banjo on Saturday! So far, I've snapped and restrung a string (turned the tuning peg too far) and learned to (very slowly) play a G chord followed by a C chord. My fingers hurt, my thumb has a huge blister, but I'm proud to finally call myself a banjo player
@@TheExperimentalFreak Wow, this is one of the best comments I've received! Congratulations on your first banjo. I am very pleased that my videos inspired you to start playing - thank you for letting me know. It sounds like you are keeping good spirits through the initial challenges, and it'll get easier before long. Comment any time if you've got questions.
Seriously impressive! I really like how much darker your version seems compared to most versions of the song, those alternating pull offs make it sound evil AF buddy, great work, great song!!!!!!
@@eddyhunt4969 Thank you! I usually tend towards a darker sound. Evil AF is the coolest description I've heard of my alternating pull offs😁 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed.
@@eddyhunt4969 Thank you, it's my favorite banjo I've ever played. It was built by Don Gardner of Grafton, OH. His website is "Gardners Dulcimer Shop."
@@ComradeElliot Thanks for watching! I don't use tabs, but I made this tutorial video that might help. ruclips.net/video/8lbrDT68G3I/видео.htmlsi=T0hOf2CKOvegdpgh
@@FreddyBadger I started working with someone who has a banjo, and i've been meaning to get started and learn. been playing guitar for almost 20 years, and always wanted to. you and I play similarly so I'll definitely be coming back to your stuff to learn!
@@mglenwright09 I'm happy to hear that! Always excited to know that new people are picking it up. If you ever have questions as you're learning, feel free to leave a comment.

I have a few videos of us playing together on my channel, and you can also find them on Instagram. They play around St. Louis a lot, and occasionally travel as well.
It was made by a banjo and dulcimer builder named Don Gardner out of Grafton, Ohio. He's a great craftsman. If you look up "Gardners Dulcimer Shop" you can find him.
I'm in Mass till the end of July, then I'm going to be staying in Missouri for a few months. We'll have to get together again at some point for sure! Do you have any plans to come up?
Now this is my kind of music
I like the alternating pull-off during the chorus. Got a nice clip to it.
@@zachb8012 Thanks! I enjoy using that technique, glad you like it.
Left hand tempo is where the magic is!!! Great tune!
