    Boy the last three videos were super easy compared to this one. I guess I was bound to hit a wall eventually! Is anyone else having a hard time putting it all together?

    Jim, I bought a banjo about 10 years ago and struggled every time I tried to learn until now. Your lessons are excellent and within 2 weeks time of practicing for about an hour a day I am playing Cripple Creek! Yes, I’m playing slowly and with a few mistakes here and there, but light years ahead of where I was previously. Thank you for the awesome Christmas present of music!!

    Hey Jim, I'm 59 yrs old, and have played guitar on and off since high school , but it was on my bucket list to learn banjo. I just wanted to say your teaching style is fantastic! I've only had my banjo for a week, and I can now play Cripple Creek! That's nuts! Thank you so much for posting these lessons! 😊

    I learned another great lesson from the comments. 39 is not too old to learn to play my 1st instrument. In fact, the older the student, the greater my joy that excuses didn't stop them!

    Jim is by far the best teacher on the internet. He takes things nice and slow and goes over it in a simple and understandable way.

    Well Mr. Pankey, thank you. It has been literally four days since I picked a banjo up for the first time in my life and I am absolutely shocked to hear myself already playing cripple creek, and I have your teaching to thank. It came natural to me, been listening to bluegrass all my life and dreamed of playing the banjo, at 26 you are helping me realize that dream. Thanks again, I can't wait for the future.

    I can’t believe it. First I was shocked to being playing something that was even remotely melodic, from lesson 3. Now I’m basically playing an entire song!? Mind blown. All thanks to a teacher who posted RUclips videos. Never played an acoustic in my life (played some violin as a teenager, that’s all).

    Jim,At age 63 I just bought a banjo. I always wanted to play something in my life since I was younger. I am on your lesson 4 and starting to pick it up. I practice about 2 hours a night when I can and only had it for about a week now. I could of got lessons, but wanted to stay home and try and teach myself. With the help of your videos I hope you stay healthy and keep them coming. I really enjoy your teaching nice and slow. And the speed will come later. Thanks

    Jim, I bought a banjo at a pawn shop and watched lesson 3-4 about 15 times. In one week never playing an instrument, I CAN play Cripple Creek. Thanks man.

    I've been through a whole mess of youtube videos trying to find video lessons. Yours, sir, are by far the best! I'm already moving up the lesson list after only owning a banjo for a few short weeks. Taking a couple of days per video is really helping. Thank you for these Jim.

    So far my favorite instructor ever. Ive played guitar well over 15 yrs now and picked up the banjo months ago. Im am grateful for discovering Jim's channel on the site and I love every lesson far. Simple, Easy to understand, and fun to listen to.

    I'll start with, I'm 50. Played the Saxophone for 8 years growing up. High school graduation came and went and so did the Sax playing. Still have it though. I built an airplane that I aim to do some airplane camping with. That was a three year endeavor. What's better than a banjo to take out to the sticks around a campfire? With time on my hands now that the build is finished I figured an instrument would be a lot more rewarding than sitting in front of the TV. Anyhow, I watched these instructional videos and can relate to Jim's style I guess. He inspired me to the point of asking the girlfriend for a banjo for Christmas. I am learning from books that were included with the Banjo purchase but it gets boring. I come to Jim and I feel that learning is much more enjoyable with him. I laughed when I read someone compare Jim to Bob Ross. That is a huge compliment actually and I can't agree more. Thank You Jim!
