Good lesson Eli, i play a lot of Reno and Adcock style tunes and this would work with a lot of tunes. im gonna try using this method on Limehouse blues.
Outstanding lesson. Friend of the devil is a perfect song to apply this to. You included the opening riff in this lesson. I’ve been working on that song as it has become a regular tune in the local jam. GHS almost mediums if you please!
Dennis Caplinger told me he favors sixth patterns and being familiar with his playing I hear his style in there. Thanks very much I'll be working on this!
I have been picking around on a banjo for several years but I have learned a lot from you. I'm trying to get my grandsons to pick it up, they both are pretty smart and if they give it a try I know they would get really good with your teaching. It's really a good thing that you are doing. You play very well and a lot can be learned from you. Thanks.
Did they pick it up yet? If not show them Nora Brown. I went from never having the desire to learn or play banjo to owning one in less than two weeks from finding her
1:46 - Hold your horses there... you missed the bit that explains how G + B = a 6th?? 5 seconds earlier you said G > E was a 6th, this bit i get... but G + B = a 6th... please help!
Yes B up to G is a 6th, G up to E is a 6th, but G up to B is a 3rd, and E up to G is a 3rd. It all depends which note is on the bottom. If you flip them around then it’s the same notes, but definitely a different sound. Hope that helps!
Hi, I posted this question, then scrolled down and saw this. But I am still confused, because if I start from B and go up the B scale to the 6th it's G#, not G. Not sure why I am not understanding.
I still get new insights even after watching the same videos months or years apart. Thanks, Eli!!!
Great lesson!
You're Really The Best Teacher Ever .!!❤❤❤
Great job explaining this!
Well explained, this is a really great breakdown of that sound. Love these videos man, really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks Peter!
I am going to try these in blackberry blossom! Thanks 😊
This is great Eli, each lesson is a goldmine that needs time to explore
Thanks Toby!

Nice! I like this, great little exercise as well!
Thanks!

Nice work. I'm trying this on Whiskey Before Breakfast in G!
Tnx profesor!!!
Fantastic lesson, as always!
You can hear 6th at work on Bela’s tune the Open Road on Drive. Love it.
Same with Plunky's Lament on the Bluegrass Sessions
Or Leaving Cottendale by Alison Brown.
Dennis Caplinger told me he favors sixth patterns and being familiar with his playing I hear his style in there. Thanks very much I'll be working on this!
Cool!
I'm not sure how you do it Eli but your teaching method is piercing my thick head.
Thanks!
Ha! Glad to hear it Paul!
That might work well on ground speed! Good video man.
Great lesson
Thanks!
I'm going to try applying this in the B part of Road to Columbus. Thanks Eli.
Good idea!

Lol I'm the opposite. I'm trying to get my grandpa to pick up either mandolin or banjo but he wont.

A lot here, Eli. Thanks for this. Eight More Miles to Louisville might be a good one for these exercises.
Definitely!
Presented well
Thanks from France
👍
Awesome...
What a great lesson! That track at the end is ridiculous, where can I find more of that music?
It's Eli's tune called Knotty Pine! I love it as well.

Blackbird would be great with this technique.
Twinkle twinkle little star
This is great lesson.
I've been knowing about 6th but I couldn't find a way to use it
Thank you Eli so much
Regards from Czech Republic
Thanks!
This technique works great on Roanoke
Definitely!
Blackberry blossom
Good stuff Eli, would it work on,Doug's tune ?. wouldn,t no how anyway.
Great info as always .. trying to hear and match a song I’m guessing that By My Side would work.. infamous Stringdusters
Thanks Stephen!
Eight More Miles to Louisville might sound good with 6ths.
Bella Fleck’s Big Country
Home! Sweet Home!
Definitely!
This would be good to Dooley.
Tony Trischka’s crossville breakdown
I would say it would probably sound good on Blackberry Blossom
I think so!
Could you possibly play and tab out the dixie chicks song goodbye earl I’ve been looking for these tabs for years but cant find any
Steve Martin’s So Familiar
Definitely!
I think it would work with blue ridge cabin home
I agree!
Hey I even commented. I am like a RUclips user pro.
Maybe it would sound good on Gold rush
When I’m 64 by the Beatles might work well for 6ths.
I bet it would!
I actually learned this way without really knowing why/what I was doing.
Stairway to Heaven
You’re not wrong!
Don't let me down by the Beatles
For sure!
Dim. 6ths?
Love your videos! But dude, you've gooooottttaaaa clean your fretboard ;)
Yo got bad eyes ! Use your EARS ! Works better! HaHa
Please explain how B and G are a 6th apart? You just explained how G and E are a 6th apart.
Not the B scale, the G scale. B-C-E-F#-G. Hope that helps!
1:46 - Hold your horses there... you missed the bit that explains how G + B = a 6th?? 5 seconds earlier you said G > E was a 6th, this bit i get... but G + B = a 6th... please help!
you have to count it from B to G...not from G to B
Yes B up to G is a 6th, G up to E is a 6th, but G up to B is a 3rd, and E up to G is a 3rd. It all depends which note is on the bottom. If you flip them around then it’s the same notes, but definitely a different sound. Hope that helps!
@@EliGilbertBanjo Got it! Thanks!!

Thumb the 5th string, you'll sound like Bach
Honestly I hit dislike anytime someone tells me to subscribe to their channel. Hate being told what to do
