Whoo-hoo! Got it! (I'll admit that I'm playing it at only about 2/3 of the speed that you play it on this video, but it's getting there!) Thank you, Mr. Pankey. Four and a half months ago I began with Lesson One of your 10-lesson RUclips series. What a tremendous difference it makes to learn from an outstanding teacher! And what a genuine pleasure it is too!
Jim I just want to say thank you I have not commented on any of your videos in the past but I have watched every one of them I have now been playing the banjo for one year and two months using your lessons exclusively and I am proud to say that I can sit down and play and enjoy my time playing. I have every day for the last year, you are an amazing teacher and I love how you break down the songs and make it learnable thank you so much
What a great tune, unusual and with surprising and melodic elements. And a big challenge to learn, at least for me. But Jim breaks it down in his very lovely style to manageable pieces, somewhat like the old saying how to eat an elephant bite by bite. I'm finally making some progress now and are currently working at the 2nd break. Somewhat like a huge puzzle that I enjoy learning it so much. Bought your tabs so you can enjoy a beer or to from me, cheers!
Thanks Jim, I have been watching your videos for about two months now, and I am really enjoying my banjo. You make it very easy and I have watched your beginning series and have learned a lot. My wife loves when I play this song, well when I attempt to play it . Anyways thanks for your help.
Thank you for offering the tab on this one, Jim. The extra help and added break really makes this one challenging but rewarding. Still working on the Melodic break, but each run through just makes the first 4 a little smoother, and being able to fall back on both the video and tab is also a big help.
Thanks Jim, I love this tune. its so nice to be able to play some more melodic tunes now and then, this fits the bill. Keep up the teaching, great job.
Jim, firstly glad to hear that your health is improving. I'm happy to hear that you are recovering. While you where away I've been pecking through this tune. It's taken some time to get through but I can almost keep up with you at this point. I'm working on the melodic break and the outro bit. This is hands down my favorite song to play now that it sounds like a song. Thanks again for everything that you have done. I love playing the banjo with you and I hope I can keep learning from you for a good long while. Thanks Jim for what you do.
Didn't even know that when you write the time in the comments that it's like a link to this exact moment. 10:43 this is where the song begins. thanks Jim, it’s even easier to learn!
Bought the tabs. They help quite a bit. (just a couple bucks) I'm a beginner and am able to muddle my way through this. Jim you are my favourite banjo teacher.
I misplaced my good quality finger picks. Bought some cheap, no-name brand replacement ones. They're so hard, even with pliers I cannot bend them into the right shape. Thanks for another great video!
Hey Jim, great video, I've watched it so much the last while and am picking up some speed now, thanks, also watched your live stream, brilliant, any chance of some more gospel stuff, maybe 10,000 reasons, Davy.
After watching a number of different excellent musicians, like you, the vast majority of them are not good teachers...at least using RUclips as a teaching tool. You however, are really good at it! Now, I know you can play at lightning speeds, most good players can. However, speed in my humble opinion is a bit irritating. A nice clip is great because we can hear every note. So, thank you Jim, thank you.
HI Jim. I started learning Doug's Tune yesterday and started looking for examples today. Went into You Tube and found your video. Thank you for making it. I then tried to call up the tab but have been unable to get it. would you please let me know how to find it. Thanks Marty Malles (Asheville, NC)
Isn't it played with a capo at the 3rd fret? I learned the guitar part and I learned it that way. Plus if you watch the Andy Griffith Show, the guitar is capoed at the 3rd fret. I don't play banjo so I am guessing.
And sometimes it’s played capoed at the 4th fret. I’ve also seen it capoed at 3. So…. Play it capoed where you want. Doesn’t change how the tune is played.
Hey Jim, great video, I'm about 2/3 rds of the way through and picking it up well, great teaching method, I like to get one section of pat (slow speed) before moving on to the next. I've owned a banjo for about 2 years now but my playing was irregular as some teachers I find are more about how good they are rather than teaching. Since watching your videos I'm playing every night now and it's coming on grand, keep up the great work buddy, Davy.
Jim you really are the man, you are such a great teacher, thanks for sharing, you really are an inspiration. The tune I wish you would teach is Deputy Dalton which ai believe uses a bit of Dougs roll 1215 1215 .
IF I wanted to use a guitar to play your exact fingering , what would the strings be tuned to ? (EA not played) DGBD Can you enlighten me ? or at least tell us exactly what your banjo strings are tuned to, THANKS> GREAT VIDEO ! ! InventPeaceNotWar
Without restringing your guitar it could be difficult. It's all fun and games until you get to the fifth string. 1st string is D 2nd string is B (just like guitar) 3rd string is G (just like guitar) 4th string is D (yup, like guitar) and here's where it's tricky: 5th string is G - and octave higher than you 3rd string. You can probably get a .009 to tune up to that G... I'd probably use a .008 Good luck!
You can do it. Check out Trevor here: Trevor Holder - Doug's Tune ruclips.net/video/pbEgMQT3jDY/видео.html He's got small hands but manages that stretch at about 50 second mark.
Learned it and love it, but there isn't a tutorial of how to play the ending on either this or the melodic lesson. Is there somewhere I can learn this ending you can direct me to? And of course, thanks for everything! Wait! I forgot I can slow these things down. I'll get it.
...and don't forget there's this to help: ruclips.net/video/F4BIVZrilLc/видео.html As far as the rest it's just and A chord with a 3212 to a D7 with a 3212 and ends on an Em7
@@JimPankey I knew it sounded familiar. I always played that out of a triangle with tje little finger. Changed my fingering to your way for this. Much easoer to go into the A . Take care Jim
New subscriber here, I’ve been following your videos the last few days since getting my 5 string and I’m already addicted. You’re awesome and I love the way you teach. Any chance you could give me a fun tune to learn during this whole self isolating thing? Something a little slower but meaty you know?
Jim Pankey thanks Jim I’ll check it out! Maybe if you get the time you should do a video lesson for it or something. Edit: I see you already have a video for it lol. So that’s what I’ll be doing today
Wow Jim I love this tune!, I reckon I can play this with a bit of effort , I bought the tab it’s great!, problem I am finding is a cannot keep the tune in my head BUT this one is sticking not only that but my fingers are doing what they are told ! Still putting them on a diet though, think my fingers better suit the piano lol, tell me has the recording king got wider spacing on the strings than normal?
Love you style of teaching, Jim! I've been playing for 27 years, but have had a MAJOR setback - musician's focal dystonia in my right hand! I want my right hand to look and move like yours. Mine just doesn't feel or act like it used to. Could you talk a little bit about how your right hand should feel when playing? My fingers just won't stay curled in. Thanks!
If I’ve correctly understood the bit you’re talking about then a version of it is 6th fret 3rd string, 5th fret 2nd string, open 5th string, 5th fret 1st string. Then slide down to 2nd fret third string, 1st fret 2nd string, open 5th string, 1st fret 1st string, open third string then strum down open 5th, 4th 3rd and 2nd and 2nd fret 1st string.
That's not really an easy thing to answer. There are a lot of options. There are budget considerations too. Google is probably gonna help you quite a bit. I'm partial to the Recording King brand.
I got a Recording King RK35 after seeing Jim picking them and they are the best banjos you can get for the money. Im in the uk and there are no main RK retailers that I can find or I might upgrade to a Elite but these are great banjos.
Hallo aus Germany Ich bin durch dich auf mein R KR 35 madisson gekommen. Du hast mir die Entscheidung echt leicht gemacht, Danke dafür. Seit 2 Tagen bin ich dabei den Tune zu Üben. Dank dir und deiner guten Anleitung klappt es gut. Bitte mach weiter so. Frage; zu Home sweet Home, Kanst du es auch mal in D Tuning zeigen ? Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Das ist eine großartige Idee für ein Video! Ich werde darüber nachdenken und versuchen, es bald zu tun. Ich bin froh, dass dir dein RK gefällt. (Bitte entschuldigen Sie mein Deutsch)
then skip that part until you can do it. I'd recommend going back and practicing my Super Simple Ballad of Jed Clampett where I first introduce that shape. It's always good to master the simpler things before diving headfirst into the deep end.
Your intro is completely wrong--try again there is NO E until after the walkdown but oh yeah you 'interpret' it--If you are going to teach it teach it RIGHT
One negative comment in 116- not bad! But going to your channel and seeing that comments are turned off tells the whole story- some people can dish it out but not take it. Not that Jim needs any help defending his instruction, nowhere on his channel does he say this is the only way to play these songs- these are all Jim's versions, and he clearly says as much- AND encourages his students to develop their own versions, as well as developing their own song versions using licks that he teaches. It is truly rare to find someone who loves music so much that they just want to share it with others, and most of us appreciate it. If you are so into perfection, maybe the math world would better suite you, and leave the art to professionals like Jim!
