Beginning Bluegrass Banjo - Lesson 01 - For absolute beginners

Lets go Uncle Harry! ❤❤😂 joking thank you for using your time for this lets change the view of the banjo!

He empezado a ver el vídeo; pero tengo un problema no tengo banjo!!

I just got my banjo yesterday, after saving for 2 years. I am so happy. 😀

nice

Surprised myself with how quickly I picked up the forward backward roll! I’ll be coming back for more lessons!

Why do you feel the need to say right hand and left hand rather than picking hand and fretting hand? Your narrative is exclusive for a segment of the public that is over looked and in all honesty insulting. Change your posting label to include both handers or note up front that this is for right handers only.

My tiny woman hands Cannot anchor both fingers. I can only get the pinkie. If I put the ring finger on there I cannot play. Do you have any tips for that? And thank you for going super super slow.

How do I sign up for the lessons?

I just inherited my grandpas banjo. I wanna learn to play just like him. Wish me luck gonna get some lessons soon hopefully

👍

Hey Mark, I just got a Banjo from my Uncle and can’t wait to learn it. Thank you so much for making these guides so I can enter the beautiful bluegrass and banjo world.

So my great uncle wanted me to play the banjo but sadly he died before he could teach me I am so glade I stumbled across your channel you’ve been so helpful thank you so much

Is this a 4 or a 5 string?😊

Where can I buy one? It looks fun but I’m not incest

As a fourteen-year-old who literally just picked up a Banjo and 'attempted' to learn some, I can say I plan on devoting myself to my second instrument now, and your videos are definitely gonna help me! Thank you!!

I have a banjo but it looks like it's missing the back. Is that ok?

This already explained a lot! Learning to sing and play Dixieland is on my bucket list and I think the time has come for me to go for it.

I just want a banjo bc its just funny af. I think i'm going to make one

It’s only @300 bucks, and it’s both strings and percussion in one. I say get one, please🖐️😇❤️‍🔥☠️❤️‍🔥

I hate fingerpicks. I just use my fingers. Openback banjo playing not loud.🙂

This dude’s voice alone makes me want to play a banjo and paint with Bob Ross at the same time

Love your tutorial. How important is it to anchor your ring finger? I can keep my pinky down, but my ring finger wants to come off the banjo head.

I have my Gt Aunts old
BANJO,
She still played in her 90's my dad & I re skinned it over 30yrs ago, I love it , but I am bit rubbish. Watch a few utubes & even bought dvd lessons yrs ago. But I like your pace, so I think I can learn from your lessons. Xx

I love the sound of a banjo. I love that bluegrass sound.

I just started banjo lessons last week and I learned G and D7. Last night I learned C and a few finger rolls.

I don't have a banjo. Ive wanted one since i was 8. In 16 now and can't afford one. Till I can i will enjoy this. One day.

Very informative!

Dan?? is that you??

what's with the Brit guy that narrates a number of history videos and what tf is he doing here?? I want Burt Reynolds.

ive been playing the banjo for 97 years and i have no idea how to play the banjo

I always wanted a banjo, would mention it constantly. My brother got me one. I must learn to play so I can sit on my porch just jamming

I don't know anything about banjo except that I'm terrified to make a mistake now

Cripple creek!

All I want to do before I die is to learn to play dueling banjos. Get on my overalls and go drive upriver where the college kids swim in the river in the summer.😂

Is this easy to learn even reading tabs for beginners?

I appreciate this basic teaching. Thank you so much I appreciate you giving the time out of your time to show us. Speed comes with accuracy. Basic point

great video ) finally someone who explains it slowly and easy !

On the road to becoming the favorite child so hopefully anytime my dad is mad at me I can whip out my banjo and sooth him like a cobra 🐍

I wanna play like that inbred hill Billy little fucker from that film with Burt Reynolds... or is it inbreds only?

Update: After 10 months of owning a banjo, I've learned nothing

It's the middle of the night I have to get up at 5:00 a.m. but instead I'm watching banjo tutorial made 9 years ago and I don't even have a banjo

I'm getting a banjo after work so I'm watching this on my lunch 😂

Great video for a total beginner! Thank you.

Misleading pinky and ring finger "as firm as you can" anchor to the top comment!?

Much thanks. I play banjo part on keyboard in our band and this is exactly what I searched - how are the banjo strings tuned and which tone is the lowest. If i heard correctly, it is D3, the highest one G4.

Brill just brought one 🎶🎶👍🇬🇧

Nice video.

had banjo 2 days and now i learn that the picks are not on the nail side of fingers

The best thing I have ever heard a someone say is play as slowly as you can without making a mistake. Speed will come with accuracy.
