    Wanted to play banjo most of my life when I watched Deliverance with my dad back in the 90s. Finally got one a few days ago and have started to try and figure it out. Thanks for sharing your videos. They look like they will end up being a lot of help. God bless.

      Good for both right handers and left handers? I don’t need anymore right handed lessons in my life.

    • @offbeatsquirrel
      @offbeatsquirrel 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@barrysmith8193 Eli plays right handed, and as such, teaches people the same way. The majority of players play the strumming with their right hand, fretting with the left. If that's not for you, you may need to specify your search terms with "left handed" in quotations so it actually populates what you're looking for. Otherwise you're going to find all lessons fitting "banjo lessons" which usually mean right handed playing style.

    Thank you for this lesson on chords, thorough and precise, without wasting time on too much talking. It helped me a great deal. I play guitar and ukulele, and now I made some good progress on the banjo.

  • @pupawheelie
    @pupawheelie 9 месяцев назад +2

    For me a lot of those fifth string notes that don't actually belong in the cord but still sound good seem to be a passing note. Thanks for going slow without a lot of extra talking!

  • @nathanlester5054

    Eli, this is one of the best lessons that I have viewed regarding chords, chord changes and practice suggestions. I am self-teaching myself to play banjo (there are no teachers within a 2 hour drive of me) but I am enrolled in one of the internet programs for learning the banjo. I will say that I am a beginner even though I have been attempting to play now for a bit over a year and the internet course that I am enrolled in doesn't come anywhere close to teaching banjo as well as you do. So, Thank You very much! I appreciate you!

    This is a great help for the beginner. (I shouldn't bother with explaining how every chord sounds odd with the addition of the G , I think we get it.)

    I am 82 years old and love banjo music. I am excited to be on day 3 of your 30 days of banjo but my index finger doesn't bend far enough on my left hand. Are there any exercises I can do to make the first joint more flexible?

    • @davidgilroy2472
      @davidgilroy2472 2 месяца назад

      Good to see your post. I'm 70 and I can play a few chords and strum along with some songs,but I was thinking, because of my age , is it really worth starting to learn properly, for real. Obviously you're not letting age deter you, so neither will I.

    Hey Eli! Is it correct that you slowed down the pace remarkably? Only 1 post per month in patreon?

  • @cookieeews
    @cookieeews 10 месяцев назад +3

    this may sound stupid, but if you are reading tabs, and the chord says D instead of like D major or minor then how do you know which to play?

  • @tomnelson3362
    @tomnelson3362 2 месяца назад

    Eli, do you have lessons on putting a banjo picking pattern sound to a chord melody heavy tune? If so, where might I find them.

  • @robertkbrooks951
    @robertkbrooks951 9 месяцев назад

    I lost my left index finger in an accident several years ago. I have played the banjo before the accident. Only 1/3 of it remains. Do you have any suggestions. ? Did create an extension out of a plastic tube. Getting use to playing it on my lap.

    @michaeldematteis3409 8 месяцев назад

    Sorry for all the comments,but can you use that bar shape A and B chord for any major chord

    • @David-rc3bz
      @David-rc3bz 8 месяцев назад

      Yes all the way up, A ,.. A# B C C# D and so on , as he said as the minor chord for the shorter Am. 3 strings keep that shape and move up the same way. But what I want to know is where is the chord charts for this lesson .. Eli said in the link but I can't find it

    Are there any songs that use b major and b minor? Never heard of any that don't use them unless you're capo'd at A. And what about d minor?

    • @chunsilee9398
      @chunsilee9398 11 месяцев назад

      Lost indian uses a B minor chord actually, it's in the key of D. A pretty popular song that uses D minor is Shady Grove. That song is commonly played in that key, so you'll be getting lots of use for that chord. I can't think of any particular songs that use B major consistently without the capo, but if you play any song in the key of E major with no capo you'll be using B major pretty frequently

  • @michaeldematteis3409
    @michaeldematteis3409 8 месяцев назад

    G over the D chord is a G major 9 right?

  • @BikBoi-qf7xx

    @ThefamousMrcroissant 5 месяцев назад

    A full month of doing hand stretching and trying, and I still can't even play 4 chords. I have extremely disproportionate hands, with HUGE handpalms and very small stubby fingers.
    I think I have to admit the Banjo, like every other string instrument is just not for me.

    • @beaufildes6306
      @beaufildes6306 2 месяца назад

      Either you arent pressing hard enough or your banjo isn’t setup right and needs some adjustments, such as the neck moving forward

  • @barrysmith8193
    @barrysmith8193 9 месяцев назад

    Eli….Why are you showing the fingering on the chord box in opposite to what you are actually playing? Your representation should be the same in both cases. You are showing a left hand chord box for right handers. If you are going to include left handers in your beginners lessons your narrative to be all inclusive. Otherwise inform us up front that these are right handed lessons so we don’t waste any more time with you.
