  • Here's a great old tune that I know you'll love to pick as much as I do! Take your time, but you're going to discover that it has a lot of "licks" that repeat to build the song. You've got this!
    I'm playing my Recording King M5.

    Jim Pankey, I’m in the UK and I bought a banjo about a month ago during lockdown as I was being furloughed from my fencing firm. I followed your 10 bluegrass lessons for three week and thought I would jump into this as it’s one of my favourites to listen to. I usually play drums and have dabbled with guitar but the banjo, for some reason sits very well with me and haven’t had to much trouble picking it up which I think has a lot to do with your fabulous teaching skills. Banjo isn’t overly popular in England, everyone just wants to learn the guitar 🐑.. the point I’m getting at is I’ve found a lot of happiness in playing this beautiful instrument and without you, I know for a fact I wouldn’t be enjoying it as much as I am. Much love from UK to Georgia!

      I honestly am learning so much from you. I started playing in January after I got my banjo for Christmas. I am getting better every single day trying to develop that muscle memory.
      Some of those Left Hand stretches are tough and I can't help touching strings I'm not supposed to. Any advice on how not to mute adjoining strings while learning a new chord that your hand just isn't used to??

    Ok after many slow down sessions I got this note for note like you played it. I don't usually do note for note, but I liked your flow. Oh wait, I did find a few double stops by accident that I am going to incorporate when I get it down even better, but generally like you. I wish I could do the cripple creek lick with your pull off because I love how it sounds, but I can only seem to make it sound like its flowing with a push off at that juncture. Maybe I will try to learn the pull off. I think I learned it first way back from Murphy Henry with the Murphy Method with a push off instead. (dating myself I know). Old habits hard to break my friend! As always Mr Jimbo, thank you! By the way Jim when Im on .66 speed, you gotta put the down the bottle! But thats the way I learn the best when you are on the sauce, LOL
