Thank you for sharing this great idea . I successfully took down my banjo action by using your method. My banjo strings are very friendly to my fingers now. :)
Also after you do that consider these things - 1/2” bridge, shimming the neck, sanding the neck dowel stick hole and shimming the back side of the hole. Not sure why but that Pisgah was set so high it was insane.
@@BanjoLemonade I contacted them about it and they said they set the action at 4mm at the 12th fret. They offered what you did as a fix. Maybe male players like that, but most females do not.😃 love your You tube channel.
Thanks for another great video. I just recently purchased two Banjo's and am currently learning Clawhammer using videos and your books. How and why did you get into Banjo as your primary instrument?
Thanks Banjo Lemonade (Is that your real name?). Your video was very helpful. I'm helping my friend here in Ireland with her Tenor Banjo. The lock-nut is too high and the action definitely needs to come down a bit. I notice too that the bridge placement is tricky. I have it spot on in terms of position and the harmonics for the 1st and 2nd sting are perfectly in tune, however, I just can't seem to get the 3rd and 4th string right. They are both sharp when played on the 12th fret. The moon bridge you showed in the video looks cool. I see that you have a video on that too. I'll check it out. 🙂
It’s just a bunch of different blues licks - I did make tabs for it and a video of me playing the whole thing too. Here’s the tabs - ruclips.net/video/FQsyPb6_D0k/видео.html Here’s the video with all the licks - ruclips.net/video/FQsyPb6_D0k/видео.html?si=ZOKyeuq7cpMjl_uC
Mine has a 36" radius on the bottom. This method would be a bit mor difficult. Not sure i have enough material to remove anyway.. need to remove twice the meat as you need to lower at the 12th fret. Thats alot.
I'm left handed too , I'm old now but just played with two fingers,and played what I heard! Learned them adjusting tricks thru trial and error. Good job !

very smart, so obvious too, but I never thought of using the marker pen. Nice.
Thank you, I have the same banjo and love it, but feel the action is a little high on the upper frets too. I am so going to try this.👍👍

Always wanted to play banjo. Once I started playing it, it stuck!
