I play guitar,bass and am learning the banjo and mandolin for a band I joined Comment from : @kensheeler7914

I’m 59 now my dad was a fiddle player in country western bands Bob Wills style (no blue grass)and growing up watching tv show HeeHaw so learning to play banjo has been on my bucket list for years I can play some cords on guitar so maybe I have a slight advantage I haven’t bought a banjo yet but planning to purchase a 5 string with a resonator Thanks I’ll be watching more lessons 🪕👋🏼 Comment from : @jesseserna8424

Video is damaged Comment from : @TheBigRatRace

Now I gotta buy a goddamn banjo! Comment from : @DELAWAREBOWHUNTER

Guitarist here, but important note: you want to go extremely slowly and not make mistakes in the beginning because you don't want to learn something wrong That's the only reason why If you get the hang of it quick and think you can start going faster, give it a second If you start going too fast you might learn some bad habits If you do end up learning something funny, it's generally all right, as long as you're making the right noises, especially in guitar and banjo Just to avoid any possibility of injury though, it's best to start super slow so that you have a good basis so that you can go faster later Give it time You'll get there You have this 💖 Comment from : @theunreal_TOEBEANS

What if we don’t have pics? Comment from : @caleb-i2q

ваганыч был в шоке Comment from : @2dtvfull

Um, you show the "roll" but not were to put our left fingers! Isn't that kind of important? Comment from : @imapseudonym1403

I found a banjo in my garage Here we go Comment from : @shomb1989

This is helpful Thanks! Comment from : @congamike1

I started my first lesson today with this video As a beginner in every sense, calling the strings by letters is like hearing Chinese for the first time I watched what strings were played and wrote them by number I really appreciate the slow pace so i can watch what you're doing and mimic that Comment from : @markkiefer2966

Can you recommend a banjo for a beginner? Comment from : @briebear6584

Let's "chune" up Comment from : @Doggieman1111

I don't understand what the purpose of the drone string is How does that make it easier to play a melody or an arpeggio? It's probably some stroke of genius but I don't understand how it fish together with the melody and the accompaniment Comment from : @GeorgeOBrien-zi5cl

I love how the banjo is associated with “dumb people” but it’s an extremely difficult instrument to play Comment from : @internetartist2436

wait i have no banjo! Comment from : @Aijaz-tw6ym

This is the exact video I needed Thanks to Mark and the Youtube algo Comment from : @callmebigpapa

Interesting how it went black Comment from : @rickhorvath

i cant keep both fingers on the instrument it feels like my fingers are going to crack best i can do is leave the pinkie and one of my strings keeps coming off :( i tried to make it tighter to no avail Comment from : @phylippezimmermannpaquin2062

3:20 to practice Comment from : @panedilegna2891

Or you can use your left hand to pluck the strings and can you use a guitar pick to play the banjo or no?? Comment from : @mattlorentz1988

top Comment from : @christophkotter7406

I found a banjo at a thrift store and after fixing it up with a friend we got it working (The action is a little too high but we'll fix that later) and after letting him have it as a gift he decided to return it to me as a b day gift with extra strings, winder, and finger picks time to learn banjo I guess! great tutorial btw Comment from : @SyedLabib

At what point do you open the moonshine? Comment from : @christianflierl8570

Been 3 days… still stuck at the tuning part 2 broken strings and lots of swearing… Am I doing it right? 😂 Comment from : @joelchils

wearing the finger picks really are uncomfortable and hurt Do they come in different sizes? Comment from : @magic2506

Lost video from 2:10-2:40 Comment from : @aaroncohenour559

Glad to find you Great start for me Appreciate the gentle intro Comment from : @rustknale3818

He empezado a ver el vídeo; pero tengo un problema no tengo banjo!! Comment from : @cristianguillengomez

I just got my banjo yesterday, after saving for 2 years I am so happy 😀 Comment from : @gravethebeyond

nice Comment from : @debychurnside424

Surprised myself with how quickly I picked up the forward backward roll! I’ll be coming back for more lessons! Comment from : @hannahjones9598

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 Comment from : @barrysmith8193

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 Comment from : @pupawheelie

For beginner like Mark thankfully show : 1:54 Anchoring is tricky so i suggest people taping those two finger with Durex together can help the muscle hand for the people who can't pass this step Comment from : @louispouliot4102

How do I sign up for the lessons? Comment from : @frankcoffey5959

I just inherited my grandpas banjo I wanna learn to play just like him Wish me luck gonna get some lessons soon hopefully Comment from : @JayBird_313

👍 Comment from : @Quebec8953

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 Comment from : @Gray_flips22

Is this a 4 or a 5 string?😊 Comment from : @Mikey-mu1gj

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!! Comment from : @MTheManiac03

I have a banjo but it looks like it's missing the back Is that ok? Comment from : @katrinawebbheim3772

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 Comment from : @IconOfSin88

I hate fingerpicks I just use my fingers Openback banjo playing not loud🙂 Comment from : @tronddahle

This dude’s voice alone makes me want to play a banjo and paint with Bob Ross at the same time Comment from : @bcgrant83

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 Comment from : @bobrichardson3854

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 Comment from : @corneliusjones7349

Kilroy was here (Man my older brother frustrates me sometimes he fucked up the tuning on my banjo) :( Comment from : @kilroy7562

I just bought one, how do I know what size finger picks to get? Comment from : @nittygrittyskeeter4131

I think I should play it slowly so I don't make a mistake Comment from : @johnallen9686

Does being an experienced guitar player help to make progress faster Comment from : @Johnnysmithy24

Is it ok to use nails instead of picks? I get so tangled up with picks🤔 Comment from : @aladinfox4098
