Never heard of a truss rod adjust before..... Mine buzzed , i had what i needed in my garage (feeler guage @ .01" ) lifted the panel, and no buzz.... 5 min fix bro... thanx
That is fantastic!! Glad it helped !!!

Go to strum machine.com and input the songs you know. It will play backup to that song while you play lead.
Great teacher 🙂
Thank you! 😃
I ordered a clawhammer/frailing bridge, which raises the 5th string up about an eight of an inch. That way i can get my thumb under the 5th string instead of striking the top of it. I'll let you know how it works out.
Sounds interesting
The 6 chord is the relative minor
Q. How many strings does a banjo have? A. Five too many
I’m just learning at 43
Well I don't have a piano, only a banjo so this is absolutely useless to me.
I’m sure it is…….🤦
Thank you so much. Just what I needed at my stage of learning .
Glad it was helpful!
May be complex but why is a banjo fretboard half steps per fret? Is it just to do with how its built
Let me say that is a great question. I have not thought about it before. Without researching it I would say to make some chords you need sharps and flats. And you can’t get there without 1/2 steps. For instance to make a minor chord you flatten the 3rd note a half step.
I when STUPID and bought 6 banjos. Rogue Vintage Cameo Rover Recording King Dirty 30 - open back Davison Harmony - 40 years old. I kept seeing one I liked and buying it. My family finally intervened, LOL. I'm banned from buying any more banjos until I learn to play one of the six I now own. I also bought an Oscar Schmitt acoustic guitar, but that's for my son.
Methinks you don’t understand the gut / nylon strings. Gut was traditionally used on nearly all five string banjos until the late 1920s. They were used for finger style playing that lead to three finger blue grass and are very bright with the right bridge and when the weather is dry. Similar to plastic banjo heads, people went to nylon strings to keep the bright sound in humid weather. Google Classic Style banjo … not classical.
Yea I’ve studied gut strings. I know how they started, why people switched to steal and the same with nylon. It’s not rocket science. But also I don’t play with those type strings so sorry my rhetoric was off on the subject.
Really enjoyed this, it’s explained in a way that’s understandable so thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
After watching I'm stoked to pick up my banjo again and i really want to learn, thanks
You can do it!
I hear absolutely no difference.
You didn’t mention Gold Tone, a folk instrument specific company. I started with a cheap banjo and eventually upgraded to a good Gold Tone.
Gosh Darn Good Banjo Day
Were I live, if you are playing banjo in the park, you get beaten up. ❤️🎸😂😂.
This fellow is right about how to wear your thumbpick.
You bought a gituar ?
yea! well i have had it since like 2018..
somehow just came across this but super helpful man. I certainly do not utilize BHO to its full potential so this is great
Glad it was helpful!
Been looking for somewhere to learn some more songs, not easy to find lessons like this for the banjo. Thank you!
Im looking at doing a lot more of these soon! thank you for watching!
You’re my favorite human being right now! I’ve been playing around with my banjo for about 2 years now. But now I really want to learn it. Can’t thank you enough for doing this series. Awesome so far
Great to hear!
$200-500 is not a cheap banjo. $70-120 is a cheap banjo. And a problem with a cheap instrument for a beginner is that you never know whether it's your bad playing technique or the instrument is having some issues. As a beginner you will never know whether the head is tight enough, the tail piece is placed right, the bridge is at the right spot, the action is optimal, the neck is too narrow, etc. This may discourage you playing the instrument all together actually. So, don't buy a cheap banjo, $200-500 is not a cheap banjo.
no offence but 70-100 dollars wont buy you a banjo, it will buy you something that resembles a banjo but is worthless when trying to learn the instrument. When i say a cheap banjo im talking of lower end banjos that you can learn on which is in the 250.00 - 700.00 range. So in comparance to a 2500 - 5000 dollar banjo yes that is cheap.
@@BanjoAddict Well, that is exactly my point. Because if someone takes the advice literary and buys a "cheap banjo" from Amazon or something, they are going to regret it big time. Average banjo price on Amazon is ~$90-150, while basic Deering or Gold Tone start from ~$500.
Gold Tone AC-1 goes for a little over 200$. My first Banjo! Great ratings and reviews as a beginner instrument.
@@christopherthomas6783 Here in the UK AC-1 goes for £300 (which is almost $400)
@@Archie3D , I apologize brother! That is quite a bit of mark up, I didn't realize.
Thanks!! Makes clear sense!! There is a difference!!
Go Irish!!
yesssssssss!
Cannot see what spots you are talking about. Maybe show the whole banjo

Cool map
Thank you! My brother in law that’s in the army made it for me
Thanks from the UK. Great mini-tutorial! 🪕🎼
Glad it was helpful!
What if I’m a beginner on banjo but I’ve played guitar for years would you recommend a cheaper banjo or a higher priced one
In my opinion it all comes down to if you think you will like it. If you are positive you are going to stick with it I would begin with a mid grade model. $500-$1000.
Since you like the Recording King brand . Put your hands around an RKR 35 or 36. . Or even maybe an Elite ! You’ll love them ! ❤🪕
I actually played a elite that my buddy had! Very nice
I purchased a 4 string Beltone Irish tenor banjo thinking it would be easiest to play IDK, but I really want to learn how to play some Dixie or Irish tunes.
✅🪕
Thanks, was very helpful! Gonna diy mine from belts and fake fur laying around the house. 😂 God bless
I’m enjoying your music videos .
First Very nice
Thanks 🤗
As a teacher and beginner banjo player, I must say that this is one of the most efficient and comprehensive videos I have ever seen on any subject. This is a really brilliant explanation. thank you
Wow, thanks!
I own that same banjo that's behind u mine even has the same headstock, which that style of headstock was only made before 2008
Yea I had to buy me a “Gumby style”headstock goodtime .. they are great banjos. I make videos with that one all the time
Thanks for a great and useful vid. The only thing I could complain about is that now I have to save up for that gorgeous Chicago style strap. That looks to be the apex banjo strap.
You and me both!
I have to use the “right shoulder” method, mainly because I have a long neck banjo and using the left shoulder means I can’t reach the peg head.
So how about us guys with long neck Vegas know which strings long enough. Great vid, it I need long neck details!
Great suggestion!
This doesn’t feel very beginner friendly as a beginner
1-3 year beginner.. sorry probably should have stated that!
Tune your banjo!!!!!
I bought a Vega longneck from Dearing, last year in July and it didn’t arrive until November. I love their cases, too, but I don’t care at all for the HUGE logo. I paid good money for that banjo and I don’t think I should also have to advertise for Dearing with a logo that can be seen from outer space. Oh yeah, it’s one of the overall best instruments I’ve ever played, and I own an early seventies Mossman guitar.
Thanks. I live in NC. I am going to see that someday. I drove by yesterday it is a hour and a half drive from here. Was in to big of a hurry. I could not take the time I would have wanted to be there with what I had.
Kind of a let down, but a must for any banjo that has a chance to go there
@@BanjoAddict I have been playing the banjo for a half year now. I plan on sticking to it. I love it. I got invited to some music jams in mint hill, so I should be able to learn some new songs. There aren't many songs to learn online. I have already put it on my calendar to see the Earl Scruggs Center. I kinda got edicted.
Are you liking the clawhammer more?
I am loving clawhammer much better
Nice!!! I love the head on it. I too have a Deering Sierra. Nice sound you have there. I don't have a strap yet, I need one badly.
That’s awesome!
