Bless your little old cotton socks, Jim! I've been trying for 10,000 years to find out how to play 'Home Sweet Home' similar to the way you do it, in 'C' tuning, and suddenly along you come! I've been trying to work it out by trial and error and -wowie! everything is beautifully simplified. I play an English Zither banjo approximately 120 years old, and Americans I know, tend to laugh at such instruments and say it can't be done. Oh, but it can! Thank you so much. You are a real treasure.
Thanks a lot Jim, it's the first time I try learn this way , I have to say it works perfect for such old man like me. You are an amazing teatcher........
Jim you are the man, I've said it before You are the best teacher out there especially for beginners. That don't mean just beginners. Many intermediate pickers can learn from you too.
Jim I've been playing banjo for three months now and everything I've learned is from you! You're the best teacher. Can I put in a request for a video on how to play little maggie? Thanks!
Jim, thank you for sharing us so much experience on banjo playing. I’m your fan from China. Banjo is not as popular as guitars or ukulele so I rarely see anyone who knows how to play it. Luckily I have your videos! Now I can play several songs you taught us, I really appreciate it. Finally, I have a little request, that is, can you teach us how to play “in hell i’ll be in good company” by “the dead south”? I really like this song. Thank you Jim!
Thanks for watching! There are a lot of good videos available for that song, but honestly, if you’ve applied what I taught in my beginning series you should be able to figure it out without a video lesson.
WHILE YOU WERE TALKING I had the opportunity to admire the stafs in the boards of the wooden walls. . Likewise in your door fillings. In the old days they were to be seen everywher in the countryside IN SCANDINAVIA, and,-- ON BOARD THE CABINS IN our SHIPS.
Hey Jim, I have a question. At the 2:06 minute mark you demonstrate the second F chord using the Index, "Social" and Ring fingers. I was wondering if there is a specific benefit later on to using that shape vs using a D chord shape (like from Country Roads). I apologize if its a silly question but I'm still learning and curious. It may be that, other than comfort, there is no issue but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! 😆 I use this, to jump back to this point, to play with you, until i learned it. Why i never leardned this beauitiful tune.. i learned it in 2 hours. In the sec. part i have one thing that its a little difficult, but a wise man said, practice, practice, practice..😅
Hard part for me was the transition from the F chord to the F chord up the neck. So I practiced that over and over hundreds of times. It’s getting smoother.

Thanks 🙂
Great lesson. Thanks.

It’s just an option. It’s a little quicker to get to if you don’t need the whole shape.
Jim, wonderful lesson! How are you fingering the G7 chord? Thanks, Rob
First finger 4th string 2nd fret - 3rd finger 1st string 3rd fret.
Thank you Jim!!!
You're Welcome
Thanks again Jim, you the man.
Thank you
Thanks for watching 😊
This one was fun.
Is it okay to do the E7 chord with index and pinkie?
E7?? There's a G7? Is that what you mean? If so, sure.

That transition is super important. You'll find it very useful in the future.
