- I've always loved the banjo but never played one until now. So I bought myself a Deering Goodtime 2 and decided to see if I could learn enough to play a song in just 24 hours. Do you think I can pull it off? Watch the video to find out!

i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me
@Elisha Deshawn instablaster =)
@Diego Bruno Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Bravo Chris, I'm impressed. My nephew is a prof. bluegrass banjo picker in the San Francisco area, and he's been playing for almost 50 years. My sister said he used to play it night and day when he first started out. I'm going to link your video to him, he'll like it I'm sure.
Thanks a lot, if your nephew has any tips feel free to send them my way.
I'm hoping to learn to play a Banjo soon. I already play a guitar so if i can do half as well as you have done in such a short time I will be delighted! I raise my hat to you!!!!!
I have a Deering open back, I spent a little bit less because I was unsure if I would be able to get the swing of it! Now I wish I had the Goodtime 2 and maybe in my life time, what's left, I'll get one. But I'm writing because I loved that you took on this challenge. I am also a guitar player, some classical as well and jazz and rock guitar. In the early 70s, I played bass in a real rock band LOL. I'm very grateful to Deering for giving free beginner instruction, I started out doing claw hammer because I though the rhythm thing would make it easier for me and I wouldn't have to fuss with the finger picks. Claw hammer got a little ordinary, not a negative criticism, just me. Then I decided that I would bite the bullet and buy some finger picks and give it a go. It was very strange at first but i did take to it after "rolling" around on the banjo. The G drone string was very awkward. I bought some spikes for it but have not placed them yet nor have i tried to play in other keys with a capo. It's coming though. Bottom line for me: I wish I had taken up the banjo years ago, even though the sounds of classical and finger picking guitar move me, I feel so at home on the banjo. A plus is that when you tell someone you play banjo and play a tune for them, most have no idea if you make a mistake, LOL. I learned a ton of stuff from youtube teacher/performer Jim Pankey. I also support him on Patreon. The Chrome youtube looper as also been terrific tool along with the youtube speed playback controls. I've subscribed to you to see what you're up to. The Krueger Brothers lesson series on yoututbe is fantastic as well.
Awesome ! Pretty impressive to be able to play that in only a day :)
Have fun with your new toy :D
Thanks, I will do!
I’ve been thinking about having a go. So many choices. 4 - 5 - 6 string
The six tunes the same as a guitar. Have fun. Nice to see you struggle with something the way we lesser mortals do.
Being a skilled guitar player definitely helps . Keep it up !!
I’m from eastern Kentucky where bluegrass music is still very popular. I grew up listening to it, and my grandfather was a very skilled banjo player.
Nice work in 24 hours! I've been at it for 15+ years and there's always more to learn. Per the picks, even though it may be tough, it is SO worth it. Anchor either the pinky or ring (or both) to provide a solid foundation, and make sure that you have a good attack angle. That will make the difference between a slidey attack sound and the crisp pop desired for bluegrass.
Thanks a lot. The anchoring I find really hard as I don't do it at all when playing fingerstyle guitar. But I've heard that it's good to do from a few people so I'll just have to work on it.
Been playing banjo for 6+ years here.
That wasn't bad! It was actually really cool to see someone just figure out the banjo from their guitar experience.
If you're gonna be doing 3-finger Scruggs style, typically you wanna plant your right hand's pinky and/or ring finger(s). That helps the accuracy since your hand is always in the same place.
Other than that, you really just wanna learn more banjo-specific clichès and techniques. Cripple creek slide, shave and a haircut - the three songs you'll be requested to play most often are Foggy Mountain Breakdown, The Ballad of Jed Clampett and Dueling Banjos, so make sure you got those down cold =P
Thanks Matt, yeah I'll be going mainly for the three finger style. I've purchased a couple of books and a Truefire course so hopefully they'll put me on the right track.
Chris, love your finger picking course. All the best.
Thank you very much, really very pleased to hear it.
In a lot of other videos I’ve seen that planting you ring finger, pinky finger, or both on the head of the banjo really helps with stability and speed!
It really does but the problem he had was he only had 24 hours so he had to do what was comfortable. When my dad started to teach me banjo about 16 years ago, he made sure to train me to plant those two fingers on the head and I never regretted it.
@@Vader99ify that's how I naturally play guitar. I'm thinking about picking up banjo and this comment is encouraging
@@ObscenePlanet I also forgot to mention another mistake beginners usually make, just as he did, is not flattening the picking hands wrist. It shouldn't be flat against the head of the banjo but rather bent. When my dad was teaching me he would take a tennis ball and put it under my picking hand wrist so it would arch instead of lay flat.
@@Vader99ify it sounds like I'm starting from a good place then
Other way round here. Banjo player came to your channel to try learn guitar.
But hell if your going to offer some banjo lessons as good as your guitar lessons I’ll hang around even more
I think I’ll leave the banjo lessons to the pros.
A very enjoyable and informative video and a great result at the end. Nice to see how you had some fun with this new instrument.
Thanks Richard. I'm still having a lot of fun with it.
Waltzing Matilda would be a nice handy one, but you’ll have to sing it, quite a few verses to it!! 😃😃
That was a ton of fun. :) Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ha! This video is bloody awesome. Great stuff.
Something I like to do is de-tune the thumb string down to either an F# or an E. Both really open up some easy jazz chords in the keys you'd most frequently play on a banjo.
Really enjoyed this different type of video. Hope there's more to come
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have the same banjo, been playing for a year. You just did in 24 hours what takes most people 2 to 4 years to get, nice work man.
Thanks man, I've just picked up the banjo this week again for the first time since making this video, so much fun. Preparing a video for the end of this week.
@@SixStringFingerpicking Sweet im looking forward to it, thanks for the reply.
your way ahead of the games with your finger picking skills.
That was amazing! 👍🏽👍🏽
What a great video. Entertaining and informative!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome. Very encouraging. I live a long way from anywhere I can get lessons so will struggle on.
Really good video, got to see your personality keep up the good work 👊🏻🔥
Well done! Great idea.
Thanks
You should try slide on resonator guitar next
Don't give up keep going you'll do it
omg it was so good!
It put a smile on my face
Dunno if anyone has already pointed it out below (if yes, my apologies), and I'm sure you'll know about it by now but...
Banjo purists would suggest either taking off the resonator, or putting some fingerpicks on them fingers!
I'm in my sixth month of playing 3-finger style Bluegrass on the banjo and I wish my playing soudned like that within my first 24 hours of taking up the instrument. Top marks ;-)
O man you have got it👍👍👍after 35 yars guitar playing I am on the start line with banjo as you, but it will take me more time sure, good job sir👍👍👍🥃🇨🇿
Well done! Those are my struggles trying to learn finger style guitar.
Thanks a lot.
I nearly moshed off my couch when you played the song!!! 🥳🏆 brilliant effort.
Thanks, it was SO hard. New banjo video coming very soon
Great fun Chris. Sounded good to me.
Thanks
Crush the 6-String agenda!!!
Check out Cathy Fink's Banjo for guitar players on True Fire
Thanks, I shall do that.
Oh yeah and check out Earl scruggs he's the Hendrix of banjo
Thanks a lot.
0:15 I know that face rub all too well. I think the moral of the story here is that you can only do so much in a day, even as a master such as yourself
Wow well done
Is banjo easier than guitar? Would like to check it out, such a fun sound
👏🏽👏🏽Bravo!!
Brilliant, fair dues to ya.
Hey nice one.. As a fan of fingerstyle playing I would love to own a banjo .. Hope to see some banjo tutorial videos.. I am pretty sure I shall be able to learn from them the same way as I learnt new songs from your fingerstyle videos.. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. Think I might leave the banjo lessons to the people that really know what they're doing with it.
Ok.. I shall wait then.. 😇
Bravissimo!
👍🏼
More Banjo please
It's been almost a year. Let's see what you got now! 🪕
Lol bet your mrs is going up the wall
She's been away the last week. Has no idea what she's coming back to.
I'm well impressed, that was some feat you accomplished in the 24hr time scale, well done.
I would love to be able to play the Banjo, maybe in time
Thanks a lot JK, glad you liked it.
Google Jim Pankey and TAKE HIS FREE BANJO PLAYING LESSONS.

Holy mother of god that's quite great in 24 hours! That's great for more like 24 months!
Thank you. Playing guitar certainly helped.
Never Ever forget who played these and they did not have you tube !!! If you have soul you will play it if you go by the book and everything else you have no chance its a natural instrument not to learn by pages but by sound and SOUL I am about to do the same as you but was told by a lets say musical individual GET ON WITH IT FOR FUCK SAKE Now I do appreciate you are on UA-cam and want to get views etc but please please don't put folk off by amassive intro to this fine musical tool !!!!!!!!!!!!
Been playing guitar for 6 years but banjo is impossible to learn to play. Probably the hardest instrument to learn
I’m learning Jerry Breakdown and I wonder if all the 3 finger roll would translate well on the banjo
Where abouts do you live n England 🇬🇧? @sixstringfingerpicking
I live kind of close to London
@@SixStringFingerpicking ah keep the great work, from Bristol,uk
Alright alright it’s been 4 months...show me whatcha got 😆🤘🏼
❤
I feel your pain man! Been playing guitar for around 20+ years and also thought I would pick up the banjo and "go".... Well.... hahahahaha!! Yeah... that hasn't happened yet.
Yeah it's tough but it's so much fun. It's a great instrument.
Impressive, very nice. What’s the name of the tune you played at approximately 9:00 of the video? It sounds really good..
ua-cam.com/video/4qr8AbZzXg8/v-deo.html
I found my answer..
I'm only a few minutes in, but if you want to play Scruggs style, you HAVE to get some finger picks!
Edit: Just saw the part of the video where your picks arrived.
Can it play neon tho?🤔
Any good online resources for beginners to go through?
Playing on I don't know what I'm doing a bit too much!
Look for Jim pankey beginner series on UA-cam
This
Maybe he has some back ground in other instruments so it should be easy for him then.
I heard in order to be good at Dueling Banjos on banjo your ma and pa had to be brother and sister
Well I'll just stick to guitar...... LOL
It's pretty annoying that anybody would even consider the possibility of "learning" the banjo or any given instrument in 24 hours
