Thank you, Steven! I really appreciate the kind words!
Classical guitarist here who just bought my first banjo last week. It has been a very frustrating week. I watched this video and applied all the right-hand techniques mentioned.
It is no longer frustrating. A must-see video for beginners.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy to help!
thank you for this really helpful to have some fundamentals and not just song lessons
Thanks, Sam!
Thank you
Thanks so much. In addition, I actually "raised" the "guard" on the banjo. Yes, it is adjustable.
New to instruments period. I just bought a banjo as my first go! Hope you do more vids.
Will do, David! Thanks!
Very helpful
Great teaching!
Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! You helped me figure out why I slowed down so much on my banjo! The first thing I found that was by playing without picks- my speed was much better! After making that adjustment I kept finding that then I went back to my picks - I slowed down tremendously - between picking with no picks and finally finding more information about my armrest height - I was back in the groove again!!! I believe my armest slid down and it was making my arm to flat on the banjo and I wasn't easily making the hand shape you reccomended. I literally spend my last two months trying to get my speed back and barely made any progress until I found this video!! Liked - and Subscribe - would by a T Shirt if you sold them! hahahaha! :D Phew... man, I'm so relieved! I was ready to give up picking!!!
I'm happy it helped!! Thank you! :-)
Thanks for posting this. I am a long time banjo player that is having shoulder surgery this week, so looking for some drills to work on with my picking hand to keep me busy for the next several weeks.
Right on! Happy to help!
Nice tip thank you
Happy to help!
I found this really helpful
Glad to hear it, Owen! Thanks!
Just watched your no fingerpicks video and then this, so going to subscribe as they were great instructional videos! I don't use fingerpicks, and love it that way. This speed video makes me want to play faster! Do you have any tips on speeding up your fingers on the picking hand? Do you just start off with a certain meter and then try to increase it to be faster and faster?
Awesome! Speeding up your (picking hand) fingers: Play slowly with good form. Memorize the song you are playing. You can then increase your speed without sacrificing accuracy. Starting out with a slow beat works great. When you memorize the song, your speed should naturally increase though.
Just an advice, if you can modify this video, high the volume! ;)
Will do! ;-)
My problem is not with the picking hand. I can roll along at blistering speed. My fretting hand can't keep up.
What model of Lida are you using?
I'm not sure. I'll try to find out though!
Why is everything thing right handed? I’m left handed with a left handed banjo.
Sorry, Billy! That's got to be a challenge. You could try to apply right-handed advice in an opposite sense, but that easier said than done!
Drums, the answer is drums
Speed isn’t everything need to pull tone and be smooth🪕🪕
Agreed! About 75% of the songs I like to play are slower and full of tone. Thanks for watching!
Focus on playing well not fast
