    Hi Jim. I'm from South Africa. I was probably born to love Bluegrass music. 69yrs young. There are no banjo teachers out here, particularly not Scruggs style. So I have been following your tutorials and everything I have been practicing have been from your videos. Your approach gives one confidence to go and practice without fail. Please don't stop. You're the best. God bless.

    For someone like me who spent the last decade playing Scruggs style, melodic banjo was always a mind-blowing, counterintuitive way of making music. But with this video, Jim, gave everyone a bridge or a gateway into the melodic style. It's about 6 minutes of teaching that will change how you play. 'Can't thank you enough.

Musical working careers and trying to make a quick bob / nickel or two I call that jumping on the bandwagon . . Think you've probably seen them like most of us 🤔 ..........your lessons really help other beginner musicians out there 👏 and have helped me as had me on my banjo had it over ten years but was kinda stuck in a rut even tho I had a good knowledge of other instruments .keep up the super work Inc a lot of other musicians out there that dedecate there time to help others and please keep posting .as guys and woman like yourselves it makes watching the utube channel a treat and at least use guys deserve your 👍ups and that nickel or two ... brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏 magic Jim 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥃

    Hi Jim I was wondering could you do train 45 for a video

      I could... buy if you’ve been thru my FMB video you could probably figure it out.

      I am 14 and I learned all of my songs from you and It is hard for me to learn without a teacher. I would appreciate if you could play train 45 but if not I will keep trying

    ..oh by the way, I like a shorter video seeing how I grasp things slower.
