Dude.... the fact that you don't know all the termonology was much more helpful to me than all the other banjo lesson videos..... descriptions like, "string closest to the ground" works great for me! I think I just learned this song...... gonna have to get my fingers used to doing it faster, but yeah.... Thanks! This was super helpful.
Thank you, Josh! Best banjo instruction yet. Thanks for the pick pattern especially. I just can't do the three finger roll after playing 12 string the last three decades. All the best. Great work. Keep the videos coming. Thumbs up and I subscribed.
Many thanks. I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of 'years'!!!!!?. Your concise instruction is very very welcome. Once again, many thanks. STP
Thanks SO MUCH! I love this song and it's one of the reasons I've started learning banjo. I've only done clawhammer so far but I'm gonna try this out. Really appreciate it! Great voice, too.
Man, This video is great, and I'm glad you threw it up on youtube. Unfortunately my banjo pretty much imploded last night. I'll just fave this and save it for later. Thank ya in advance and once I get a new banjo I'll see about making a video response. You should do more tutorials. Very few people who do make them make them as clear and straight forward as you. I'd also like to say that is a Beautiful instrument! I said "Wow!" out loud when I saw the tuning head.
Would you mind posting an instructional video for banjo on Old Home Place? I really really want to learn that song. Also, thanks for this video, it really helped me learn wagon wheel ^^
This may be the first banjo song I ever do.... I'm going to work on it and will do a video response... even if I ... crash and burn :) Great lesson, thanks.
great looking open-back and fantastic skills, i'm just starting and you made me feel a little bit stupid...thanks for the help though, i'm gonna try this on the 4th o' July
great instructions,plus I studied them 4 chords from a chart,I am going to guitar center and try one out I think I know these chords by hard ,by Christmas I am getting a banjo
Hi Josh, you make it sound easy which is encouraging. I'm a (mediocre) guitar player and I've decided to buy a banjo to play this kind of music and I'm interested in exploring a softer blues sound with a banjo rather than a full hoedown sound - although I hope there'll be occasions for that. I'd appreciate any suggestions / advice about what to buy if you've got time. I'm thinking of spending something like £300 on one which from the research I've done so far would be something reasonable.
It's a "moon" style compensated bridge, It's for better intonation (then a straight bridge) there are other types of compensated bridges, the simplest just makes the G string a little longer than the rest - Grover uses just that and I like it - but havn't tried a moon yet
what kidna banjo is that? im going to buy a banjo and i want to know what u got. cause ur a monster. so message me back please. or anyone else that knows the exact brand and model type hes got
Josh Turner I am a 63 year old who has played for my own peace of mind since I was 16. Still not too accomplished but I can play some pieces. LOVE your videos. All of songs I play regularly to unwind you and your friends have done...wonderfully. Great fun to watch and it makes me try to up my game a little....although my dogs and I are the only ones attending my concerts.😀 Thanks for the music. It makes me smile.

You sir, have restored my faith in the modern generation. Nice job of explaining the tune without over complicating it.
Such a basic and simple "how to" video lesson. Very good. Thank you Josh
04:13 *suddenly dies inside... but then comes back to life*
hello fellow recent commenter
Wish every tutor spoke with such a homest simplicity.
I was thinking ‘Oh great I’m going to learn the names of those notes and chords (& strings)’, only to learn Josh doesn’t know them either.
Thanks for posting, you made it simple enough that someone who's been playing for two days can figure it out.
Thanks for taking your time clearly defining the rolls and chords
Please do more!!! You are good and explain things soooo simple... BEST ON RUclips!! Thanks!

Great work. I love that you're not using any of the fancy terms no one understands. This is how tutorials should be!

from the bottom: d B G D g. i remember it: damn banjo guys do good
what band do you play in ? Nice instruction by the way ( not to fast like some )
very nice voice (:
Ok. Cool beans. Now show us Red Molly!
hi josh have you got a cd or way to down load some of your music..
if you lived in roanoke we should start a band man.
Your such a good Banjo player man. I think what your doing is fucking great *excuse the language* But yea rock on man!!
When you play banjo do you Play all strings ? Or just what chord
Whats the benefit to having a curved bridge on your banjo
It's a "moon" style compensated bridge, It's for better intonation (then a straight bridge) there are other types of compensated bridges, the simplest just makes the G string a little longer than the rest - Grover uses just that and I like it - but havn't tried a moon yet
what about the intro?
I understood nothing, because I from Russia.XD
But video very pleased=)))
@frankfortgal me too! haha.
i personally prefer my resonator banjo to my open back banjo.
its a bart rider made in michigan my roomate has one there really nice
@chastd I thought he said Little League Hockey. HA! :) Good stuff either way.
TEACH ME
Is there a specific strumming pattern?
how does the strum part go?
You're hot. I forgot to pay attention to the banjo.
"recovering Leo Kottke player" Ha!
whats the best technique to strum on a banjo
C. Alex for strumming learn clawhammer
4:14
so the roll you are using for the right hand is 43215321
am I getting that correct?
Banjo tuning is GDGBD
But the Virtual Bluegrass Band Resistance video really sucks - what happened Josh?
(loved the xmas vid)
what kidna banjo is that? im going to buy a banjo and i want to know what u got. cause ur a monster. so message me back please. or anyone else that knows the exact brand and model type hes got
He's really cute? and he plays banjo?
The fingering sounds right but you wouldnt strum a banjo you brush it only six string banjos are strummed
Gosh do ya have to be so cute
david dobrik
teaching people to play with 4 fingers well picking.. not so good, bad habit to get into. also try a forward backward roll, sounds better indeed
What you called the "Pulse" is actually SYNCOPATION . . . . . you're at college ???
tomoole In all fairness, this was made 7 years ago
