This is beautiful thank you for the lesson I listen to this all the time
Thank you! This is one of those banjo tunes that’s the “bug that bit” for a lot of people who decide to give the instrument a shot. I’m honored so many people use my lesson for it.
about a month into learning banjo, this song is the reason im learning. i will definitely say, skip notes are throwing me off LOL, this is gonna take some practice
This is definitely a tough one to take on as your first song. Not to discourage you-it’s good to aim high!
I would say start playing it WITHOUT skips until you get it under your fingers. Skipping is a whole other technique outside of your traditional bum-ditty pattern. This song is mostly just a bunch of bum-dittys. Try it straight through at first and I think it will come a little easier. Ping me here if you need further help!
Thanks so much for sharing this with us! It's a very moving wonderful song and this is the first video I've seen that would give us some insight and inspiration to learn how to play it!
This is the song that inspired me to learn banjo and your tutorial is the clearest I've seen. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the feedback-and for watching! Sometimes I wonder if I’m making sense in my explanations so it’s always good to hear!
Re: the bit at about 8:50, sliding vs bending. Steve does both in a single performance. I prefer the sound of the slide, but substituting a bend adds interest as a variation.
I’m having trouble with the timing of the refrain at 12:55, particularly what chords are on the downbeat etc.
Try playing it WITH the skipped notes (notes in parenthesis) at first and see if that helps. That should at least ground you in the flow of the song. Once you’ve got that down you can skip when needed.
There is a lot of skipping in this song and sometimes it’s hard to demonstrate. One of those things you have to feel out a bit.
