I played ukelele for 5 years now and playing a banjo now for 2 days has been easy as ever😂
Comment from : @Rito_music-d2s

Getting my first banjo tomorrow 40 years on rock guitar This should be interesting!
Comment from : @chipsee3403

Wow, once you realize the patterns, it makes so much more sense Thanks!
Comment from : @IronMeDen1

Thank you! It would e nice to hear all those rolls at full speed so I can see how it fits into an uptempo 4/4 setting
Comment from : @JP-vt4rk

What brand of banjo are you playing and what model is it
Comment from : @normanlefave9866

Thank you so much for such a concise informative introduction! I've already gotten so much faster in a few days - how long does it take to get to the "fastest" speed you demonstrate? A few months typically?
Comment from : @sonofpait1310

Comment from : @peterlaws1653

Do you need the metal things on the fingers? I'm thinking about getting a banjo but I don't have anyone I can ask The only string instrument I've ever played was violin for a couple months
Comment from : @AndreaShaggeh

Comment from : @technishawn

THank you!!! I fingerpick guitar, and "banjo rolls" freaked me out HOWEVER, you explained clearly and slowly, and now i know: its like fingerpicking!! Muscle memory will get me through, this is great

Comment from : @LewisPugh777

Ive got perfect pitchi can toss a five string into a dumpster at twenty ft
Comment from : @theeaskey

Mason, thank you young man 🎅🤠🙏Have loved the sound and history of banjos and even being an old man, want to try I have a 12 string Alvarez acoustic I haven't applied myself to Didn't start young enough or dedicated myself enough I preach the shame is not being willing to learn things, perhaps I'll follow my own advice Your rolls for 3-4 strings I get, 5 or so will take perseverance when I find a banjo, I love their sound as well as the 12 string Alvarez and can it be used for rolls until I get a banjo?God bless you and thank you Sir 🎅🤠🙏
Comment from : @garypaterson2794

I can never find some easy rolls for a 4 string banjo ): (mine has 4 strings, it's called a banjolele?)
Comment from : @Gremlinlemonbee

I got my first banjo yesterday and I’ve just spent the last like 6 hours practicing the first roll😂
Comment from : @That-Mexican-guy

How did you get a granada inlay,without the first fret inlay,I don't see one like that on their website,that's also my preference

Comment from : @sowertosow

You just made something click for me! You said the rolls are the sequence of your fingers not the strings I don't know why I didn't realize that sooner Now maybe I can get a little better Thanks!
Comment from : @TJRohyans

Mason, any relation to Royce Crone in NDak?
Comment from : @mikefinley4367

Thanks a lot! This made a lot of sense
Comment from : @bhwthrn

Not really related to this video, but do you have any tips for avoiding accidentally muting other strings while trying to play notes with my left hand? I have seen a lot of videos saying to arch my fingers more but it starts to hurt my fingertips fast when I do it like that
Comment from : @willcuny5937

Comment from : @ac158

Great to see you two together Interesting video I changed for a heavier head, a decent bridge and got my washburn B9 professionally set up Made an incredible difference Doesn't stop me wanting more banjos thoughmeant to post this on the video you did with Mr Pankey

Comment from : @Classics1w1

Have you ever used a metronome to help with smoothness and accuracy
Comment from : @Banjodave2011

Great video! I'll have to come back when I finally get a banjo 😄
Comment from : @aubreyragsdale8163

Nice one Mason👍🏻🪕 I made up a roll this morning, it had cheese and pickle in it😂
Comment from : @Steve-jf3hf

You can make up your own rolls as long as they are in time Here is a nice inside roll 4,2,3,4,1,2,3,1 Sound really good with a G chord and an E minor chord
