- You can learn to play Duelling Banjos even if you've never played banjo before! For more free videos go to jofflowson.com
This lesson teaches you the walk up and down part that is the main part of the duel, and also explains all the other parts in the slow opening section. You can learn the rest of Duelling Banjos by visiting my website.
Joff i have just got a banjo and have enjoyed your video and watch it every night I am 73 and all ways wanted to learn and have plcked up a lot from you many thanks will try and get a full video Fred
😊
How did he get on old timer
@@Yourballix Like any young timer, he wanted to learn the banjo. LOL!
For some reason, this guy's videos just make the most sense to me... His version of Cripple Creek is till my "go to" when I pick up the instrument to warm up my rolls. MORE VIDEOS, PLEASE JOFF!
Daniel Wright Thanks a lot for that, Daniel, really good to hear. If you have the nerve, why don't you make a video of your version of Cripple Creek and post it on youtube, I'd love to see it! Also check out my website for another two hours free videos. All the best!
You do a great job explaining and love the split screen. Very helpful
Thanks, I'm pleased to hear this is helping you play banjo.
I am really impressed with the way jofflowson teachers the banjo I learnt a lot from him I highly recommend him
I really enjoyed Dueling Banjos.I too feel like you're the first teacher to help me get started I learned Cripple Creek from you.I still feel like I'm slow but I can tell I'm making progress thanks again looking forward to more videos
+Daron Huffman Always nice to hear when someone is making progress playing the banjo keep up the good work!
Easiest to follow lessons on here by far. Thanks Joff!!
I just moved to Beverly Hills.
My neighbors are so gonna hate me 😂
Who gave in first… you or them?! 😂
@@TheSeeka me, lol.
I just found this video and I love it ,I just started to learn how to play. Thanks
Outstanding I was given a beautiful banjo that my father never learned to play on the condition I learn BASIC db's by the spring with your patience and concise instructions I think I can nail this . Thank you for your time and efforts.
Amazing job thank you so much for sharing your talent with others
Just fantastic stuff here Sir! Thank you very much. I am a beginner (Bucket list-learn banjo at age 59!) Your tutorials are first cabin, so is my frustration. Luckily I am committed.
I used to get very frustrated when I was learning. Best thing is put the banjo down for five minutes and relax.
Great advice, thank you.
Thanks Joff. I've decided it's time to finally learn to play the banjo instead of just talking about it. Your videos and your website are going to be instrumental in that. Thanks for the awesome lessons!
The way you said "are going to be" doesn't fill me with confidence... did you ever end up picking up the banjo? Could have had 6 years experience by now...
Really great job on this one! i actually get what u are saying! cheers!!
Brillant dude, just re strung my 5 sting & was well inspired by your video!!
hahahaha, yeah could be marrted with childrens al bundy, too funny, love your videos, got a banjo on layby at the moment, want to learn to play a bit of basic, only because i just love the sound of the banjo, most awesome sound, my daughter and i are just starting to learn to play our fist musical instrument, the ukulele, told her that we are going to learn dueling ukuleles, she wasn,t that impressed with that idea, haven,t told her about banjo yet, or the fact that she needs to learn her part on the guitar, funny story because we were in our local pawn shop, my missus was paying a layby and i saw this banjo, lovely sound, i told my missus to put it on layby for me and she kept saying no, or you don,t need it, [a bit odd because she,s usually great and nothings a problem] i kept telling her to and the bloke on counter was laughing, in the end they both had to come clean and tell me that she had put it on layby for me the week before [going to be a surprise] as she knew that i really wanted one, toooo funny, cheers mate
4:10 “don’t play with me don’t you play with fire” haha adhd is a wonderfully odd thing
Joff, you are the best. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you very much for posting these for dummies like me to learn how to play these songs. The way you take your time and explain what you are doing plus you have the camera on the banjo (left and right hand) so we can see what you are actually doing. I have a request if you don't mind. I have been trying to learn a song that has been a favorite of mine for a long time, but I can't seem to find the tablature for the banjo anywhere for it. I have found videos for it, but the videos do not show you "step by step" how to do it. Would you please please do a video of this song? The song is Red River Valley. Thanks again for the videos, you are great!
+LizzieJo83 Thanks for your kind words. I would like to make a tutorial for Red River Valley but it might take a while. You can get started by just picking out the melody, the same way you would sing it. Once you have that you can fill in the gaps with some extra notes and a few rolls. A lot of it will be the exact same techniques as the Cripple Creek Low Melody.
hi Joff i can't get any other of your duelling banjos tutorials
Hes back!!
Thanks. I'm a guitarist/bass player, but have been thinking about getting a banjo for a long time. It's just Keith Richards tuning basically isn't it? Plus the drone string.
Well thats a start, thanks! I'll try an get the rest soon.
Thanks for the lesson! It is really well done.
BorisGrishenco You're welcome! Let me know how you get on.
Very goog the best person iv seen showing me the ropes thank you
Good you take your time it helps
GO JOFF!

最近バンジョーをはじめました！
この動画をみて頑張ります！
Hi Joff, remember you from thr old Edale festivals. You won a banjo contest there?
Edale - those were the days. I never won the banjo contest there but it's funny how people remember things differently. I've got a mate who swears blind he saw me playing on the main stage at Reading Rock festival and even though I've told him I wasn't there, he still believes it!
Wish you had done the other bits as well Joff.
I'm pulling the banjo out for a couple of days ship
The 5 string was invented for this song
Its originally written four a four string Tenor Banjo. Anyway thanks for the Lesson !
There's a rumour that Earl played on the original recording. A guy called Mike Madeleine told me that years ago but I was having a bad day so I brushed him off. I think he might be right htough.
Make more videos like the cripple creek series
amazing tuition with such a visual. Seems you're using three cams!
I'm using three cams now, but this was shot with two only.
Yet already very effective :)
Great job Sir
Wow great teaching
Thanks!
Hi thank s I just got my first banjo have you got any further tips
Hi Joff. What model is the Grafton Banjo that you have ? I like the wooden arm rest and what looks like a rosewood neck. Have been trying to find the UK maker. Can you help with that ?
PS thanks for your time and the videos. Excellent way to teach.
That's the Grafton Oberon 2, which they don't make any more. It's from andybanjo in Kent, England. The armrest was made by Phil Davidson who is a luthier in the Forest of Dean, England.
Thanks very much for this cripple creek is excellent but this is my dream lol
sheep600fx More parts to learn than Cripple Creek but overall no harder to play. Good luck and do post a video of your progress.
Great stuff
Hello my name is John and I've just started to learn the banjo I'm 66 and really would love to be able to play but I've got fat stubby fingers and don't get the finger bit as there not long enough can you give me a tip to sort this out thanks 😎👍🇬🇧
Nice banjo
where the second video please ive subbed
That's available for sale on my website JoffLowson.com
Not enough tutorials though, I can't find the ones for the other three parts he mentioned anywhere on his page after I subscribed to it.
You can purchase the other 7 videos by visiting my website jofflowson.com
Your link isn’t working for me?
What is your banjo tuned to. I wanna learn this
very good tuto !!!!
Hi Joff , it would really be good to have Tab for the opening lick and Yankee Doodle lick I could work with after watching your lesson
+Larry Cook If you purchase the complete Duelling Banjos set from my website you get free tabs included.
JoffLowson umm if you purchase it's free? that makes no sense
How doesn't it make sense? I haven't bought nothing from him but others if you purchase a DVD or something you don't always get tab. So if you purchase the set, you get tab for free.

Awesome

Love bango left hander🤔

sorry maybe a dumb question but im a complete beginner . in which tune should the banjo be?
Standar G tuning - g d g b d
Can you play this on the four string banjo?
The original version was played on a 4-string and a 5-string. I don't play 4 string myself.
where are the other videos at for dueling banjos
Those are in the Members Area of Joff's website. Not on RUclips.
Can you play dualing on a 4 string?
For sure, you can play it on any instrument you like. I don't teach four string tho.
2:25 - with your fingers!??
deliverance
fyi: The rest of the lesson is behind a paywall off-site
Uncle Barry Brian Wood active melody
Plz teach the fast part
The other lessons, and the fast part, are in the Members Area, on Joff's website. Not on RUclips.
Sounds a lot harder than it is.
So im 15 and i play guitar and my dad said if i could learn dueling banjos on guitar he would get a banjo
Do itttttt
I see five strings on the body of the banjo.. and four on the neck.. what the hell?
Dude the 5 string banjo has a tuner on the 5th string at the 5th fret. They all do.
+Lucas Riedel Sandkilde oh yeah! and what about the tonsilectomy on the trombones???
The 5th string, is what is known as the drone string. You'll see the tuning key for it, about halfway down the neck, sticking up.
Alright I've got that job f
One of my students watched this and became very upset. After viewing it do understand. For a beginner level this is very difficult. Let's pretend they don't know the parts of a banjo. Nor strings , chords , a pick , thumb roll. Or BASICALLY how to even hold much less tune a banjo. This is more of a lesson for a player of 8 months to a year. playing.
Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry your student was upset. You have made me think that I could take another look how I grade my videos. In the meantime I'd welcome your advice on how you cover these important fundamentals with your students - maybe you've recorded a video explaining this?
I would like to say something I cannot read sheet music I do not know any keys or barely anything about a banjo I just bought one yesterday messed with it for an hour or so watching this video and I have to say it was extremely simple and I can already do everything in the video and moving on to the next lesson THANKS JOFF
I bought the banjo off uncle Trevor 700 bucks Washburn
You look like Al Bundy from married with children
You're not the first to say that!
Wow I suck at this
I didnt know Al Bundy played so well
