Great video, you kept it simple, and easy. Good teaching job. Loved the way you just showed how to do it, instead of trying to explain the obvious over and over again.
did you cut the holes yourself in the banjo head? does it project louder to the audience that way? i'm interested in getting more volume out of my open back.
I have a Chinese chin chin banjo that is the same size as a tenor banjo. Anyway I can make it into a 5 string banjo or should I make it into a banjolele?
this is a great site. thank you. but how do you apply these patterns when playing a chord that doesn't use the upper G string. I just started trying to learn banjo. Do you have a video showing picking with other chords?
Sometimes you change the fifth string to match the key you are in. For instance, you tune the fifth string up to A when the song is on the key of D or A. You might tune the fifth string down to F when playing in the key of f.
I cant fine the PDF file you are talking about for playing folk songs on the banjo is there a chance you could email them to me I have signed up for your news letter so you have my email thanks fast eddie
Reminiscent of that two-footed bridge Pete Seeger used, but it's not the same. I believe he said his design creates more volume from his open-back. Does yours do the same?
Thanks, this is what i like, folk banjo like gregory isakov songs!
Thanks ,just what I'm looking for. I'm playing a guitar but I love this style of picking. Alot of the old songs sound so good with this style. LindaP

I'm not sure those are holes, they may be where pickups are attached to the back of the skin.
Hey Milwaukee Matzen- It is a banjo I built myself from Rickard parts.
Nice Banjo.

Are using plastic fingerpicks? If so what kind.
Doug
I use a brown National medium thumb pick and two Alaska finger picks.
What kind of picks are you using? Thanks.
2 years later but those are Alaska Piks on his index and middle finger

Waht for banjo is this
Is folk style bluegrass?
No
What kind of bridge is that?
one I made myself, nothing special.

I think Pete's bridge was made by someone he knew. If I remember correctly it was made from computer board material.
Be a little better if we could see your left hand.
