Sorry JOHN I meant to say drummer not drummer again thank you so so much Comment from : @rogerb7649

Holy cow finally someone explaining the very basic of starting to play thank you so much, JOHN I have been playing guitar for quite some time I’m more of a drummer than a jammer, but I finally bought a banjo and this is an awesome video again 1000 thank you man Comment from : @rogerb7649

nice work, however i cant even cover the frets without covering two strings at the same time, oh the of being a new player Comment from : @TheMetaxes

🎉😊 Comment from : @PatBly-zb3dk

Seriously, thank you John You’re the teacher I can’t afford - you’ve solidified the stuff I’ve learned by ear and taught me the technical skills to progress as a player🙏 god bless Comment from : @knvern

hai john is the open g chord in the same family as the second inversion or bar cord Comment from : @tedtedsen269

That really does open up the neck of the banjobrThanks👍 Comment from : @wayfarerchris4116

Judging by the comments people are getting a lot out of this video Maybe I need to watch it again and again, because it is totally evading me It seems like so much is being packed into this it would take a long time to understand it if I ever did manage it Thanks for the video, but it just plumb evades me I'll try to watch it again a few more time Comment from : @willeel3750

Awesome - extremely helpful for a newbie Comment from : @nightskyimaging

To much talk no good Comment from : @joeyverano1037

Great Job! Comment from : @fenderman7596

straight to the point, great job! Thank you Comment from : @Sokko13

Very good Comment from : @kingjamesbiblebaptistmid-a8043

I'm weird and learned the sharps scooted up the scale as flats but it works the same I think it's from learning trumpet years ago Comment from : @sleepingalongtherazorsedge9361

Great video Thanks for doing what you do Comment from : @stephenbell1615

If you play in other keys other than G, such as playing in A Major, do you need to change the 5th string to A? Thanks Comment from : @raymondtimothyelkurnia1896

Thank you! You are open my mind! Really thank you! Comment from : @cinthiadb

Se la didascalia è sempre presente su tutto lo schermo nn si s riesce a vedere le posizioni della mano Comment from : @vincenzoprocopio7500

Thanks, Mike, for a great lesson You have made it much easier to make progress using your method Comment from : @frankriley3651

I absolutely love this video very helpful thank you Comment from : @clawsongatch

I am consulting youtube about the decision whether or not to buy strings for a secondhand four strings banjo, You don't seem to use the fifth string if you even have one on there, couldn't quite make it out, and so it all seems pretty straight forward once I get the strings on it Thanks a lot for summing up western music theory for banjo players in eight minuts Comment from : @micofix

what a great help to me I bought my banjo 2 years ago but i was making a noise without knowledge This guy is brilliant Comment from : @tombolger6127

This totally helps my very visual brain that's now addicted to the banjo! Comment from : @darceebramlette5249

Really really really good lesson!!! Easy and worth!!! Thanks Comment from : @RodLucanor

This video helped me so much!! Now I'm starting to understand the music scale It was so confusing for me at first! But you really broke it down and made it understandable Comment from : @elisabethemory

OMG, I have been trying to figure this out for years You just solved one of my biggest barriers to learning the words Do you do this on minors, sevenths, etc?? Comment from : @googlemustdie

You make it so easy really going for it👍 Comment from : @reecemontsumi5269

You make the best vids Comment from : @Genetherapy3232

i have never understood how playing multiple strings can count as playing one note Comment from : @niccollins6032

Pretty soon they'll say thT western music scale is a racist scale lol 😆😂🤣😅😄thanks for your video Comment from : @rogerbeaird3320

This was great I have one request when you get time, could you show how to vamp up and down the neck during slow songs, I think it sounds great during a song when pickers vamp chords up and down the neck, like during the G part of a song they will chord it in different spots on the neck Thanks in advance Comment from : @gregrandolph7601

Cheers mate that was a big help as Hank would say I saw the light all the best from Blighty thats got you thinking Comment from : @juspickin

I always got the impression you were self taught in the beginning But as time went on you got deep into theory Did you get formal education in music theory or is it still self taught? Comment from : @DrBudMassey

You always take sooooooooooo long to get to the point I thought it was just recent videos, but nah Comment from : @Trikernaught

Awww heck yes! Mando & guitar both have moveable chord patterns, so you sir just saved me HOURS of practicing chord charts Thank you!! Comment from : @PartisanHypocritesEverywhere

Very good teaching Can you do a short video explaining I IV and V theory? Thanks Comment from : @coolairaz

This is great! I really want to make finding chords all over the fretboard automatic Great tool! Comment from : @craigclaeys6158

Mindblown! Brought my banjoying to a new level, thank you so much! Comment from : @alejoagna

Great understandable explaination Comment from : @earlstewart9832

I just spent more time than I want to admit teaching myself this and you explain it in 8 minutes Comment from : @adamm4064

Wow, this finally makes sense! Thank you! Comment from : @timrutherford9291

Great teacher Comment from : @paulblank6161

Really benefited at the second or third time watching (over months) and take apart the inverted fingering change with the help of my piles of copied stuff I print to practice and learn from, such as my ten page "A Musical Approach To Learning The Banjo Neck" that I will now study more than just print making it a more useful tool It's handy to go back and forth in the vid to let it all sink in Thanks Comment from : @61mab

Nice teaching! Comment from : @israelunterman

unfortunately, this made zero sense to me I just can't get theory, i have too many questions :/ Comment from : @DARKSIDEART2022

Thanks so much A great lesson, presented in a very clear manner brExtremely useful Cheers! Comment from : @joehildes5960

Wow, what a great video Subbed, and keep it up! Comment from : @mackinbox

this is NOT for beginning players, definitely NOT !it's too advanced He assumes a beginner knows the position of notes and their names Comment from : @charlesbenedetti8607

Very helpful video, and very clearly explained, thank you, Davy Comment from : @davidskimin3471

Excellent John I’m a long time finger-picking guitar player and am looking to learn the banjo over this COVID winter You’ve motivated me to press on Thank you Comment from : @michaelkelly6583

How do you know which notes/chords skip 2 frets with a sharp in between them and which ones have the next chord a single fret up? Comment from : @skypausebgp2615

This REALLY helps! My first instrument is piano and any instrument I pick up, I base it off what I know from that They way you used a little theory (when referring to the inversion of chords) really clicked Thank you! I think I’m gonna be able to actually play this instrument now Comment from : @taylorfromer2044

Fantastic! John this was great for a NEW banjo, but years in bass player You are helping to unlock the code Much appreciated Comment from : @williambreglio1825
