    Eli you are an excellent teacher of both music theory and banjo. I thoroughly enjoy your instructional videos and watch most of them repeatedly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

    Really enjoy your instruction. I'm 70 years old, finally decided to try playing banjo, and thought I might need to learn some music theory before my banjo arrives. Thank you, sir, for sharing your knowledge.

    Piano background picking up a stringed instrument for the first time - THANK you for being one out of a million videos that incorporates music theory, scales, arpeggios, and their application to the banjo instead of just practicing a bunch of rolls 1000 times! SO, what's the Banjo equivalent of Hanon's virtuoso pianist in 60 exercises, lol! (no, seriously, have a recommendation??)

    Great video! You can use scales to practice almost anything. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of exercises!

    I've studied Music Theory in college but dropped out due to health issues.I feel like I'm relearning. This is great. However, the A minor scale is a bit confusing bc you went over sooo quickly and the song I'm attempting to learn starts in A minor on the banjo. So I'm a bit lost.

    I never thought about it, but I guess scales would be a good place to start if I want to start messing with single string style. Are scales and scale exersizes part of your daily practice sessions? I know I've heard some players say that scales aren't that important to bluegrass banjo, but that's always made me a bit uncomfortable.

      Scales won’t be too helpful for Scruggs style playing, at least in the beginning, but for single string/melodic improvisation it’s a must. I practice scales most days! Hoping to put some of those exercises in some lessons soon

      @@EliGilbertBanjo Thanks! I always liked playing scale and technique exercises when I was playing bassoon, and it’s been tough to find versions of that for banjo.

    • @midnighttoker8663

      You don't need scales for Scruggs which leaves many people feeling stuck when they want to improvise melodic/single string.
