Your such a warm hearted teacher😊 Thanks for posting all these lessons☺☺☺
Glad to do it. 🙂
Great job as always Jim. Your disarming style and detail have made a huge difference for me and kept me progressing. There is no better teacher for a beginner picker. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the kind words.
You teach with a lot of patients. Your great. I'm learning thanks to you most teachers want to show you how good they are. Keep it up Thanks I have lots of dobros. Wanting to learn. No teaching. Now I have banjos
Thanks 😊
Awesome Jim, love the way you play the sample at the beginning of the video to see what we are getting into before we decide to tackle it, lol
Thanks 😊
Thank you, Jim. I've always wanted to learn this song.
Glad I can help!
Yeah i have it! What a cool tune to play! Thank you Jim! ✌️
It’s a favorite of mine.
Hey Jim just want to say thank you for teaching me banjo, and thanks for keeping it alive.
Glad you're learning!
Quality strap, congratulations on your purchase. Leather fasteners are what you need. Beautiful work, master respect!
It's a nice nice strap. Yeah, JS can do some leatherwork. :)
Hey Jim! nice to hear something from you again! I'll take a look at this lesson! That's the way to start the day, with a new video by Jim Pankey! :-) thank you!! Gruss Severin
Thanks! have fun!
Thank you for the video! I really enjoy picking up something like this when I have been kind of faking it for so many years. Keep it up , please!
Glad you enjoyed it! Keep pickin'!
Hahaha! Never thought about slowing it down until you talked about the “3 dots” tabs....hit it at half speed right before you said “sometimes it’s really funny listening to me talk in slow motion”. Talk about great timing. Loving the videos by the way, my buddy Don C. told me about you and got me to buy my first banjo. Glad I did!
Great! Now just keep picking. :)
Man I was wondering where you have been, been thinking of you lately jim! Ive already got this one but I have always loved this tune. Hope all is well up there! Ive been playing banjo lately but ive been on more of a cigar box guitar building kick lately. Got one in gonna try some new ideas on :) should be fun! I plan to turn one into a banjo one day, not sure how it will do but we shall see!
You'll have to post some videos of the cigar box instruments! I'd love to see/hear them. :)
There’s a way to slow these videos down when learning, when u watch these on the firestick, you hit a button and a menu pops up, when it does you have the option to rewind, pause or whatever, there is a symbol there that looks like a cruise control symbol, click that then you have the option to slow these way down
Yup, you can slow them down on mobile and in the web browser too.
Hey Jim, thanks for the John Hardy lesson I'll get to it ASAP.
The type of strap I have is a shop-bought one for a guitar. I had to cut it down as it was a tad on the wide side and have it set up cradle fashion. I mean it works OK, but that example from John-Scott Pipke does look real sweet. With Christmas just around the corner, I think I'll throw some hints at the bride and see what happens. 😉
I used modified guitar straps for a long time. Having a nice strap is a guilty pleasure now.
Hi Jim! Glad to miss you.
I'm strapless, haven't bought one yet, but I'm looking. Cant play in a straight back chair forever. How about doing "Froggy went a Courtin" on 3 finger banjo. I bet it would sound awesome.
Strap will help a lot, even when sitting.
Thank you, Jim, for another excellent lesson. Have you thought (or have already produced) some spots on playing Christmas music. I would love to see what you would do with some of the popular standards. Thanks.
I just don't play much Christmas music. I did do a Jingle Bells video: ua-cam.com/video/OYLdvrccW6A/v-deo.html
@@JimPankey Thank you, sir.
Hey Jim! Nice to see you again!
Here's another request: Preacher & the bear by Hylo Brown
It has some mighty fine chord changes!
I remember that old tune... Not sure when I'd ever get to it though. :)
Jim, thank you for your passion and tireless banjo knowledge sharing but I'm kind of disappointed that tab I've purchased are inaccurate. It would be nice to have a choice to buy tabs for beginners or as you play.
The tabs for the songs I’ve added tabs for are pretty accurate. They’re more accurate than the Scruggs book, so I can’t do much better than that.
But the big step you need to make is to really really really try to learn this stuff without the tabs. The info is all there in the video. Take your time, slow it down, and I bet you’ll surprise yourself.
Also, if you’re able to spot an inaccuracy in the tab, then you really don’t need the tab.
@@JimPankey for example second measure: you play in a C-chord 2---2-1-5-2-1-5 and second is hammer on. But tabs has 1-2-3-1-5-2-1-5
Fantastic! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks. I got the whole first part. I just gotta get it speeded up alot.
Good job!
Now I can play Cripple Creek and Cumberland Gap. Plus Banjo in the Holler
Awesome!!
@@JimPankey I also know every measure of Foggy Mtn Breakdown. I just need to speed it up and get my timing right.
Hey Jim! Fun little ditty I'll have to dive into later...wife's sleeping now...heh. Question without taking up too much of your time...are there any tips on mastering...or even getting kind of good at the different picking finger styles/techniques? I followed the "Cripple Creek" lesson and learned those fingering lessons, but like with this song there are many different plucking variations. Should I just work hard to remember thumb is mainly for the bass(3/4) and filler 5th, middle is for 2/3, and ring is 1? Is there anything fun I could do to learn this better and easier? I find myself, as a guitar player, being able to fret easily...but I'm fumbling a lot with my picking. Thanks!
The best thing I can tell you is to take a couple of different patterns and get comfortable with them where you can switch back and forth without thinking about it. Once you're comfortable with that, then add another pattern/roll.
I would never suggest relegating certain fingers to certain strings, as that's just setting yourself up for problems down the road. It's most important just to grind away the hours working on the patterns and "trusting" that they'll work.
How long with that take? I'm guessing longer than you're expecting if you're already looking for a "trick" to get better. The trick is practice and a lot of it. :)
You can do it!
Pretty new at banjo and trying different picks. Have never seen any like yours. Where can I get some?
They’re Ernie Ball Pickey Picks.
Thanks!
You’re welcome ☺️
Hey Jim!
There’s this song I have been wanting to learn for a while now but I can’t seem to find a good tutorial for it. It’s called Angeline the Baker, and it would be great if you could do a tutorial for it! Love your videos, wouldn’t be picking without you!
I’ll ponder on it. It’s not one that comes up much when I’m teaching, but it’s a great song. 😀
Jim Pankey Thanks!
Jim I was wondering
Do like Mumford and sons?
When I get a banjo I'd love to learn some of their songs and Also follow some of your series
Never really listened to them... I do know that if you’ll stick with my learning series that you’ll be able to figure out pretty much anything from them. 🙂
Hey Jim,
I’m really getting into bluegrass banjo thanks to you. I enjoy tinkering with my cheap bottle cap banjo (insert joke here) as much as playing. I recently put a new Fiberskyn head on & now the bridge Is more prone to sliding around a bit. Is this normal or should I do something short of buying a better banjo to correct this? Perhaps you can recommend as couple of web resources for banjo setup that won’t get me into too much trouble?
Thanks for your wonderful work.
I consider it an honor to learn from you.
The fiberskyn heads are just slick. Best advice is try not to bump the bridge. Mark where it goes to make it easy to slide back in place.
This song doesn't look too hard. I was kind of surprised. Whenever I heard it in past times I thought it was.
You can totally do this!
@@JimPankey I still can only play Cripple Creek and Cumberland Gap. John Hardy will be next. Thanks to you Jiim
I'd love to see you teach the Old Man in the Shanty song.
Don't even know that one. I'm pretty much limited to old bluegrass and country tunes.
