I really appreciated your explanation around minutes 6:00 & 7:00 of the counting and using a partial roll to keep time.... I've been a guitar fingerpicker for 40 years and frail banjo a bit but have always been mystified by the Scruggs style. No other RUclips teacher made the light come on for me like you did. Thanks Ben.
This is so cool.. Its something Ive been having trouble with.. Coordinating my left hand with plucking strings with my right.. When to put the left fingers down (and how hard) and when to pluck those strings.. Im saving this exercise and trying this out later.. Im in bed and the house is asleep.. I cant wait to annoy the neighbours with this.. Thanks so much Ben..
Hey Ben, your tablature in Banjo 104 on the D7 chord does'nt match the tablature. Honest mistake. I'm brand new to playing banjo, really the first time playing any instrument. I really enjoy watching your video lessons.
is your tab not coordinated with the video. I am not sure about how to play the D7. you are showing index finger on 2nd fret, 2nd string and middle finger on2nd fret of 3rd string. is your tab different. great lesson sir.
The tab is correct, sir. Thank you! You only need to play the D7 in this instance with the middle finger on the 3rd string, but I encourage to go ahead and practice putting down your index on the 2nd string, 1st fret.
I have a question (i just got into banjo so im a noob),on the music sheet why didint you copy exacly were it shows ive played brass instruments and just got into strings and want to know because i do see the "T" and 1&2 but you started with the third even though it shows 2nd.
We don't play the B string in this lesson so it can't have a 1 on it, but yes, a full D7 chord would (if that's what I was teaching, but I'm not). Thanks.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Let me know if I can help you further.

This kind of music always puts a smile onto my face, I love the chords you played in the beginning!

great great great lessons. Makes something that some videos look like rocket science into something manageable. More please!
Excellent lesson!
You should teach "Studebaker" by Kenny Smith for all three instruments!
This is great for me a 72 year young veteran 🇺🇸🦿🪕
Great to hear!
i am just learning and love your style
Great lesson foe beginners. One question: Why not call the 2 notes at the start of each measure the partial forward roll?
How do you become a "gold pick" member?
Cool 12 ga. lights!
You are my hero
What does the 2 indicate?
I was hoping you would show us how to make cinnamon rolls.

Awesome
Cool vedio
Is that fourth measure right.. Youve got two fingers down on the fretboard but the tabs are only showing one or am I reading that wrong
I think he is playing a d7 chord, although the tab doesn't indicate it. Its probably good practice to play the whole chord
Was that not a forward backward roll at the start of the video. ??
Howdy! No, only forward rolls that start on various fingers.
@@BanjoBen ok tks..I'll try it again.
When you are Play banjo . Are you picking all strings? I need help. To play my banjo
Yep, 3 fingers for all 5 strings. Come by the site and follow the beginner learning track step by step!
Ok when I chrode C ,D,E.. do I still play all string?
If you want to you can, but most rolls don't incorporate all the strings.
Banjo Ben Clark , my time is not good.
Banjo Ben Clark , thank you for your help
D7 Tab Is incorrect. B string should have a 1 on it.
We don't play the B string in this lesson so it can't have a 1 on it, but yes, a full D7 chord would (if that's what I was teaching, but I'm not). Thanks.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Nice banjo,, but stop singing! It's frying my head!
Great lesson, thanks Ben
