Playing Ukulele for about 10 months now, I got gifted a travel size banjo brbrYou've dropped some hard truths about dialing it back and playing it all together cohesively, I am already so bad about stopping for adjustment or powering through my mistakes brAlso forcing myself to use a metronome is tough But I think my issue was the sound wasn't sharp enough and it was getting buried under the instrument brLoving the tone of the banjo and the extra string, but man the wire is so much harsher on my fingers brThe class has been fantastic though Ill try my hardest to slow my pace and enjoy the journey brbrUltimately the point of my comment is, thank you for posting this series 🪕

Holy cow Eli! I'm a doctor, not a banjo player! This is madness i tell you! (sigh, I'm working on it)
Comment from : @boulderjoe1

I'm having a hard time with my ring finger on this one are we holding down the first and the second fret at the same time? If we are what could be wrong because mine does not sound like yours
Comment from : @CoachJeff-i6u

Hey I have a question about this lesson when you add in the ring finger is it only on the 2nd string 2nd fret or are you also holding down the first string on the 2nd fret? Also when you say on the fret does that mean all strings your finger reaches over or just the string you are playing? Just to clarify as mine seems to sound different when I play with my ring finger involved and I wanna get it right uoure lessons have been so helpful so far so thank you 😊
Comment from : @josie50000

ack! Day 3 Which string do I put my L ring finger on? Thanks in advance😊

Thank You I am learning banjo

Day 3 : Everything is still going fine and I'm having fun
Comment from : @guillaumesakiche

When I attack the strings with the claws, a rasping sound appears due to the contact of the metal of the claws with the metal of the strings, is there a way to prevent this? I have tried brass and steel claws and have the same result with both
Comment from : @argosinius

How do you wear the picks
Comment from : @richardfelch9837

i am 86 yrs old and just decided to learn banjo following your lessons and i am feeling a bit more confident its possible, may take a bit longer but but as i said possible so thanks a lot
Comment from : @kennethbrown5720

My 3rd string buzzes when fretted no matter how hard I fret it Any ideas?
Comment from : @gagestanifer7240

This is fantastic! Just got my banjo today and am loving this!
Comment from : @mikemandel5775

Just so I’m clear, the pinch pattern doesn’t vary during this lesson, correct? It’s always 1-5?
Comment from : @jeremytallman2741

At 1:05 what string is that ring finger on?
Comment from : @UnderTheFigTree1987

Day 3 of owning my banjo and I love these lessons so easy to follow and simple for each lesson , I am a total beginner so these lessons are great
Comment from : @LeahTomblin-x1t

The tabs said nothing about a ring finger either, this is confusing
Comment from : @badboybootz8

Ya lost me Going way too fast
Comment from : @badboybootz8

I reeeeally wish there were close up of his fingers I went two days before I realized I was wearing the picks upside down
Comment from : @Slapdash_Adventures

A week ago i got myself a 5 string banjo I must say, these lessons are very helpful Thank you for putting them up I know this takes so much time and effort I appreciate you Eli
Comment from : @lindokuhlemsibi3914

Is the quarter note @ 120 without mistake a goal we should shoot for before moving to the next lesson?
Comment from : @majesticoaks

Comment from : @mateuszbochenek7193

I don't understand, do we put our middle finger on the second fret every time we put our first finger on the first fret? It wasn't made clear or maybe I'm just dumb?
Comment from : @FizzieSprite

Do you offer CD lessons
Comment from : @johnlaing3881

Can anybody recommend a program for writing banjo tablatures like the ones in this course?
Comment from : @viralbus

In this video the first explanation of what finger to use on the neck you said what fret but never said which strings
Comment from : @budnjillsmith5933

I Have a gold tone AC one having a hard time with the strings so close
Comment from : @geeeeeee3

Wonderful lessons!!! Eli is doing a great job of breaking this into bite sized pieces! But I think the tablature shown starting at 1:50 has an error In the fourth bar, we are supposed to play the 3rd string while holding it down on the second fret That's fine, but the notation below the measure says to use the index finger to hold that string down In lesson one, he had us doing that with the middle finger Moreover, when you watch Eli play it slowly in this video, he is clearing using his middle finger to hold down that string I am convinced that the tablature should say M instead of I I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I tried playing with the video stopped - just following the tablature The fourth bar had me very confused Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the middle finger is the one that should be used to hold the 3rd string on the 2nd fret
Comment from : @MarkGTerry

Just discovered this after buying a banjo! I'm loving it but working on not hitting too many strings Thanks for these I am so excited !
Comment from : @eliseruiters4183

When you're on lesson three and realize that you're wearing your finger picks backwardswhoops!! Thanks for this awesome class!!
Comment from : @kimlayer395

The pacing of these lessons is perfect, been spending 30 minutes a day practicing Thank you!
Comment from : @rnbsn_

I've played viola for a long time, whenever you are trying to learn to play a fast section of music the metronome is your friend the metronome will show you your weaknesses
Comment from : @AmazingMrMe123

dude these videos are incredible ive learned multiple instruments off of youtube but i have never seen anyone do it as good as you and to make them this short and interesting thank you so much
Comment from : @adrianoroy3308

Thank you! How cool is this!!!
Comment from : @Hoss999

After staring at the banjo I got as a gift in the closet for the two years, I finally got it out and tuned it up for the first time! It’s too bad a broke a string on Day 3 We’ll have to see about replacing it but I’ll be right back on track soon!
Comment from : @goldtigre4979

When you say to put your middle finger on the second fret which string is that on?
Comment from : @sheilakovach6125

Eli I’ll admit that as a left hander with a left handed banjo I was concerned that your lessons would exclude we left handers in narrative and graphics like all other instructors Your step by step approach and easy to read step by step tabs levels the playing field of which I am grateful I’m on day 3 and for once have full intent of going the full 30 days of lessons Thank you for these postings
Comment from : @barrysmith8193

Thanks for helping me get started
Comment from : @JamesLongOnGoogle

I love love love this course! Can't believe I'm actually playing a song Thank you so much!
Comment from : @loiscorcoran168

Ok, dumb questionbrYou can take both hands off the banjo and the neck doesn't dive down I have to hold the neck up, even when using a strapbrWhat gives?
Comment from : @mbeck6319

This is perfectly in line with what I've learned from years of playing other instruments And I've always believed that listening to great players not only internalizes this beautiful music but motivates you to become great yourself This a huge part of learning anything Now I have to get back to practicing!!
Comment from : @gregorywhite9095

I am awaiting delivery of my new banjo I am a guitar player who is going to learn banjo I can tell you that you should not focus on speed Using a metronome and playing steady at a slower pace is the best way Speed will come naturally over time Every new piece or technique that you learn should be practiced this way Using the metronome will build up your "inner clock" so that you will have good natural timing when you play 👍
Comment from : @eugenelayton5231

Is the pinch changing between each note?
Comment from : @jagervolant7871

I'm looking forward to this I can finger pick pretty well but need to reatune my picking to a banjo style
Comment from : @gregdray8199

what the heck index finger first fret, ring finger second fret (same string) right? why doesnt my note match yours?? aghhbrbredit: OH i see now its the first string the ring finger goes to not the second yay
Comment from : @alaw5605

How essential are the thumb and finger picks? I play guitar finger picking and really struggle with the picks
Comment from : @JustinHannemann

Thank you
Comment from : @Genetherapy3232

This is an excellent series Eli Thank you for producing it for us Your articulate style of teaching and explaining is truly wonderful and exemplary Providing absolute beginners such as myself with a robust, disciplined yet structured and enjoyable way to learn progressively and systematically in digestible and manageable increments helps me realize I can in fact do this and even have fun along the way and for me that’s what its all about!!
Comment from : @audrybella6405

This is so much fun! 🥰🧡🪕
Comment from : @myindigoblues5796

day 3 wooooooo!
Comment from : @meganmcguire3176

When you say put your ring finger on the second fret are you putting it on the first string or the second string?
Comment from : @chrishay4572

Also these lessons are amazing thanks
Comment from : @jasonfarley4320

Thank you so much this series is awesome!!!
Comment from : @tinkerdink25

Eli, Thank you for these lessons!! Hope you do some more!
Comment from : @rayparks4209

Is anyone having difficulty with the 3rd note (?) I'm having trouble holding down the 2nd cord on the first fret and strumming the 1st and 5th stringbrbrAlso, these videos are amazing I've owned a banjo for 3 days and I'm on day 3 of your videos This has pulled me out of a dark place Thank you so much for your time
Comment from : @meredithsexton1580

I keep scratching the head of the banjo with my picks How to mitigate?
Comment from : @admiralrhino4049

Is resting your fingers in the banjo important? Mine keep wanting to float and I play better with them floating
Comment from : @samuelorozco255

I am 3 for 3 on playing/practicing I find Eli's pace and tone of teaching very easy to follow I am encouraged I can do this We will see in 27 days
Comment from : @slugfeet27

As someone who’s been playing electric and acoustic guitar for years, I love this course! It’s really easy for me because I love doing finger style stuff on my acoustic guitar and solos on my electric, but I love the pace this goes at I can tell this would be amazing for someone who’s never played anything like a banjo before so I just like applaud you for doing this! I’m so glad I found this course!
Comment from : @DreadPirateElla

Thank you so much for these videos I originally started playing a year ago with in person lessons, at first I was really excited but the lesson he had me going on seemed to drop into the deep end quickly, not to mention the inconsistencies of songs he had me going on Eventually covid came and I dropped the banjo for a year, but these lessons are giving me a new opportunity, and they're so easy to follow thus far, especially since I knew how to do things in the episodes so far, so there wasn't much difficulty practicing I can't wait to continue, thank you so much, I cannot stress it enough
Comment from : @antiqueshistoryandconspira3791

15 years playing bass 45 minutes on banjo Still going to take it easy and repeat these videos for a day or 2 before proceeding I'd rather trudge slowly and learn properly before being overwhelmed If you have played another instrument for years you have the benefit of musical knowledge along with the curse of being set in your ways
Comment from : @danallen8238

Thanks!
Comment from : @fvhorn

Eli My goodness Thank you so much First 3 days are a little simple for me but I really don't mind because I am looking forward to finishing the 30 daysbrbrYou are really good on the banjo

Purchased my banjo a week ago! Never played an instrument before but come from a family of musicians Wanted to thank you for this series, even though I’m only on day 3, I’m thoroughly enjoying my banjo and what you are teaching Thanks and cheers!
Comment from : @billkilpatrick6244

I got a banjo 2 days ago and was terrified that I would suck at it and not have the determination to keep going with it Thanks so much for these videos, I know that after 3 videos on banjo I'm by no means a master, but I'm already feeling so much less intimidated by this instrument Appreciate what you're doing!
Comment from : @hannahkozlovic1715

im really bad with the picks i cant find a way to use them properly they always scrape against the bord thing
Comment from : @NoCzar

Thanks have enjoyed these last 3 days getting ready for Christmas to play for the family
Comment from : @cagestagegaming8570

How do you get those metal picks to stay on your fingers? I’ve made them as small and tight as possible but inevitably they slip off
Comment from : @siribaimusic

Youre a really good teacher and these lessons have been so helpful to me so far!
Comment from : @osmondwright4847

Great lessons Thanks you I play guitar, but am enjoying the banjo a lot too thanks to you
