Buster B. Jones was a master of hot fingerpicking guitar solos. He combined his love for the styles and techniques of Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Merle Travis to create original and exciting arrangements for fingerstyle guitar. In this lesson he discusses and teaches Jerry Reed's Banjo Roll Techniques . For other lessons by Buster, go to www.guitarvide...
Buster was such a wonderful understated player with killer licks and a great way of teaching. Glad we have these videos long after he left us. RIP
I met him in 1999 when he did a tour for Godin and I was the manager of a music store in Illinois.
They didn't promote the appearance so unfortunately no one showed up but he was so nice to me. He gave me a mini lesson on banjo rolls and I think I still have the paper he wrote out for me somewhere.
I bought two of his CD's and when I hear these rolls I hear the same personality that came through his fingers on those albums.
You may be gone but your music lives on. Thank you for everything. RIP Buster
Unfortunate, Buster died Feb 2, 2009 of liver failure. What a great player he was.
What a fucking Legend
I wonder if he had alcohol problems?
rip

Dude used to play with Jimmy Martin.
Merci pour routes ces bonnes choses a connaitre
Did he ever go over what he did in the very beginning the Jerry reed banjo roll that’s what I wanted to learn!!
Maaaaaaaan !!! i didn't knew Hunter S Thompson was a guitar player ! :D
Thank you very very very very much for your tips, and please, watch out for those creepy crawling reptiles at the bar. And beware the bats when you're driving !
Love being a natural self taught guitarist. I find these cool videos on here and think to myself ,”Self, this is pretty much what you’ve been doing all these years with a flatpick. Now you know what it’s called by everyone else. “ lol.
it's funny - I bought a banjo thinking it would enhance my guitar finger picking - now I'm learning Banjo Rolls for guitar that will help my banjo playing.

Lmao
Imagine playing this on a banjitar
*visible confusion*
I'm thinking of doing it!
It would help if you tell me how the training is going.
Always nice to have crossover knowledge on instruments
This video is the definition of “making it look easy.”
Has anybody seen movie Tropic Thunder? Remember Les Grossman?
Comment of a god. "FUCK YOUR OWN FACE"
Was just going to say that, was Tom Cruise!
DIET COKE!!!!!!!
Fantastic
Haa no way I didn't see your comment...funny as...Les Grossman
This obviously ain't guitar for dummies, I tell u wut
That is correct, you big dummie!
@@CommercialFree78 that was funny thank you
yeah this is pretty much the worst way to teach guitar: the "look at my fingers and do the same" technique. I mean it works eventually but it would be much faster with proper parts or tabs
@@regenerative1173 I said "parts or tabs". And parts make you learn songs faster, that's a fact. The thing is the person who made the proper part had to learn it with audio or video, and the goal is to make it easier for others to learn it.
@@regenerative1173 The point of the video was to teach a lesson. Some people are not good teachers... If you have enough skills to get everything by yourself just by hearing it, cool ! but if it's the case you don't really need a teacher.
My comment was replying to "This obviously ain't guitar for dummies, I tell u wut"
So this kind of proves my point some people are struggling and tabs would help them.
Buster teaches great lesson even though his body is gone his giving lives on. God bless Busters friends and family...
he looks like the target audience for Mac 10 shoulder holsters.
Bruh 💀
This man Invented the Mac Holster!
I just love how ridiculously far down his shirt is unbuttoned.
for all you guys....you can't make fun till you can do the roll at speed...not something you learn in five minutes. :)
Yeah he was taking full advantage of his cool factor....
Those banjo rolls are cool tho..
Thank goodness It’s a free country_one can pretty much wear their clothes in the style they prefer & we don’t have the Morality Police as they do in Saudi!🤡
I unbutton my shirt all the way to the belt line button, ie only my pants stay buttoned
Amazing player for sure but I gotta say that this dude is the composite of any guy in the cocaine business in Florida in the early 80s OR a guy with 3 kids and a wife back in Indiana but he's staying in Vegas because it's college basketball season and he's on a hot streak...
wheezy laugh
that's it - you win the internet this week lmao
@Honey Weeaboo Child Curious where you're getting the child molesting and murdering part of Thompson? cuz if you're pulling that from the Johnny Depp movie, that was fiction you know...there's no child molesting that I know of associated with HST...this is how bs starts and spreads on the internet...
@Scotty Dude you really should stop and look at the paragraph you just wrote and pretend like you didn't write it and look at it honestly...either you are trolling me or you are not a smart person, 'A lot of people believe this' Just because you heard someone say in a comment section once "he probably was into snuff fims and murdered babies" you're gonna take it as fact? This tendency to say "hey for all we know it could be true" is what stupid and ignorant people do...don't be stupid...
@Scotty No, listen you really need to re-evaluate yourself! you're not one of the smart people Scotty...I'm sorry to have to tell you this but....you're a dummy, you make things up and your weak mind will make you susceptible to all sorts of peril throughout your life...I'm not even sure that you can improve your situation at this point, I mean MAYBE if you somehow make someone feel sorry enough for you but it's unlikely. But don't fret, you'll still be able to have happiness so don't give up!
We cant stop here, this is bat country.
can’t
Was trying to narrow down just who the hell he looks like, you absolutely nailed it.
im not quite sure if this motivates me or if i should burn my guitar
did you learn it?
Banjo rolls are hard at the start, but get easier.
You can do it!!!
Practice exercises with your pickin' hand and you will see great dividends paid in a short period of time.
It''s a great lesson, even if you can't get the role you get to learn how to move up a scale
Its Matthew McConaughey playing a 1980's bluegrass/drug runner/little league coach, fighting big tobacco while bringing in his crop of Hash. That shirt will be totally off in the next video. Great playing.
He's dead. Died in 09
@@tommypetraglia4688 I know dude.
Buster is the dude. Perfect player, exceptional teacher
He’s like the Bob Ross of guitaring
no he's not. why does everyone say this about every guitarist on youtube
A guy who sold me ludes sent me here....
thought he was theo katzman from vulfpeck
Pacôme Gendreau theo when he gets to his fourth album
LOW
VOLUME
1:25 "alright no frills or fancy licks" after playing a complex pattern
coming next
Its not to bad keep it up : )
My thoughts exactly
Seems like the folks commenting here need to join facebook or twitter so they can say stupid things on those platforms.
I miss you Cuz. At least your with your daddy momma and my favorite person in the whole world. Your sis, Colleen. Miss you both!
Sorry about your loss my guy. I'm hoping all is well for you.
I notice Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins found much ease of playability in using nylon string guitars(like this guy is using here) in place of jazz hollow-body electrics. I am in agreement with them on that one... I also use nylon to play in the styles of Tommy Emmanuel, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, and Chet Atkins...
I use a Tagima Modena (probably manufactured for Brazil) nylon string electric solidbody. Love it.
Yes, I do it too. Playability. Some models now have a 1 7/8"nut, which helps me, and thin body, helps with shoulder pain, and the cutaway for the higher sounds. The nylon is just easier on the fingers for hours of practice.
He does make it look easy, love having my mind blown at least once a day! He plays stuff more out of this world now. RIP Buster.
One of the best things about learning music, and even a particular instrument, is being better able to appreciate the skill and articulation of something like this, rather than just hearing a pleasing miasma. Somebody once described it to me as being able to taste the ingredients, not just the stew. So for those who wrote something about this being discouraging given their own level of skill on guitar, no! What you are feeling is just a connoisseur's ability to appreciate it. Good on you!
It is like magic. An out of tune guitar can lay lifeless in the corner for years. Silent.
One day a friend sees it and picks it up, tunes it. And suddenly the instrument comes alive. I always loved that about musicians.
Hill Wellford
Interesting point of view. I agree, being a guitar player who wrote original music and recorded and mixed my band. You tend to miss alot of subtlety of instruments in a mix. When soloed, you hear all the nuances and little differences, but bring up the entire mix and they fade into a bigger soundscape. I always like picking one instrument and focusing on it while listening to the song, because even that sharpens your listening skills, but you still don’t pick up alot of the little ambient subtleties within a complete mix, but you get close.
Sometimes you don’t realize the space a player is presenting, like with 2 guitars, piano or keys, and vocals in a mix until you can isolate tracks. Pretty cool though, how separate, sparse parts blend together to sound huge and full in a mix. But on the flip side, listen to parts and the tone of a single instrument, like guitar or bass, soloed, and it sounds smaller and thinner than in the mix. But bring it all up and the mix sounds full and satisfying to the ears. Mixing well is a very cool skill that is very stimulating to our ears and our brain. Have a great day!
the phrase "looks like somebody's uncle but plays like nobody's business " applies here
Buster, you were an awesome player and a great mentor. You are greatly missed. I love that I can go to UA-cam and still watch you play.
I had no idea Les Grossman could destroy guitar like he does Flaming Dragon!
Recently I was trying to pick out what Jerry is doing on chorus and bridge of I’ll Say She Does, after two days I gave up: quality of the record and the volume of Jerry’s part were not helping. But at least I could pick out the chords he plays. Now with this video I realized that Jerry is doing these banjo rolls and I can try to apply this pattern and see what comes out!
Heck of a guy with heck of a lesson! Best delivery I've heard. The calm of a 80's PBS Saturday show! Hope he does many more.
Sorry to inform you. Buster passed away in 2009
I could never get rid of that flatpick. I can pick fast using the flatpick and 3 and 4 fingers. (I dont use index or pinky) Ive been playing since 65, and I aslways say "Im still lesrning" I have tried to pick without the flatpick, but the angle of my thumb is all wrong My thumb seems parallel to the bass strings, so I have to make a conscious rffot to twist my wrist out perpidicular to the guitar. I know Im making this harder than it has to be. But anyway I got a lot from your HW song. Good arrangment.

He seemed like a cool guy!!!
Buster was so Great. One of best thumbpickin' teachers/performers out there. RIP Buster.
Hunter s Thompson’s a pretty sick guitar... who da guessed
Had no idea Hunter S Thompson was a guitar player
What? Bald and sunglasses? That's all? Dude doesn't look like Hunter at all hahaha
it was a light hearted observation Vladimir

Егор Сидоров didn’t know that, thanks!
Man, this guy is so smooth & fast. Clean as mountain spring water, too! Does ayone know if his nails are the stick-on kind? Thanks
In one of his videos he mentioned that he uses false nails glued on to his natural nail. But he also said he didn't like doing it because it weakens your nail. He had to do it because of the pressures of performing-you break a nail you got to fix it. He said he'd go to the beauty supply store and get what he needed there (Sally Beauty, whatever). Buster was one of the great players. RIP, God bless. He is greatly missed. He's up there somewhere taking choruses with Chet, Jerry, Merle, Doc and Les.
Great lesson! Thank you for illustrating a technique that can be applied to multiple songs (as opposed to just doing the cover).
I just threw my guitar into the fireplace.
Buster, if you’re out there, know that I love you! Great lesson! Danny Gatton and Jerry Reed would be very proud!❤
Miss Buster, great talent, great person. RIP
Legend has it: His chest hair is still growing to this day.

Thanks you got me totally Banjoed !
The skill level jump from 3:42 to 3:53 is enormous.
Yeah, that was like over a year of practice. Hard practice
"Now with a little more speed..."
I want a Hunter Thompson Tom Cruise deepfake video with this man
Was a great guy named Brad Jones from Roanoke VA. We worked together. Was friends..
Ole Buster b Jones Hell of a guy. Even better player.
I thought I'd consolidate all the UA-cam tips in the below thread to make them easier to use...
(First put cursor on the forward/pause button under the video, click it to activate following functions:)
J key = BACKWARD 10 seconds
L key = FORWARD 10 seconds
K key = PAUSE
M key = MUTE
F key = FULLSCREEN
Left arrow = BACKWARD 5 seconds
Right arrow = FORWARD 5 seconds
Up and down arrows = adjust VOLUME
After pausing with K key, use period and comma keys for FRAME STEPPING
Press ‘shift’ and < together to REDUCE SPEED
Press ‘shift’ and > together to INCREASE SPEED
Forward slash = SEARCH BAR
I never knew these tips. Thanks!
@@BarryFence Yer welcome Barry!
What incredible playing.🎸
0:41 was wonderful
this is the best way to start learning jerry s breakdown
very nice I swear .
Nice Job and ThanQ,..
🚬🤠 dude that’s awesome
i'm not seeing the coke dealing allusion he made, how did you all decide this guy was that?
Because he has thinning hair, aviators, and a hairy chest.
I think it was a joke about his appearance maybe?
I thought this was Les Grossman from Tropic thunder. After clicking on this I was not disappointed...
Holy crap its actually so simple :o
Jayden it’s not, weeaaboo headass
@@torobravo6147 thanks big daddy
BIG DADDY no shit
@@torobravo6147 I'm an intermediate player, classical and finger style. Never used a pick. How long would it take me to learn to do a decent roll with a pick?
PreservationEnthusiast why ask me? What’re ya’ tryin’ to point out? I don’t fuckin’ know, I don’t even play the guitar.
How is that guitar not slidsliding of his knee?
Thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
haha cool, I've been doing the same thing,
I've been a bassist for a long time but recently my picking style changed when I learned banjo,
really it's just fingerstyle bass, but with more rolls,
but It works very well on bass, rolls really carry that bass rhythm
Starting at 42 seconds, where he says...banjo roll... what song is that from? I know it's done in cannonball rag, but it's slowed and focused on, in another song somewhere... I wanna say one of the levels of SuperMario Brothers, games... 🤔
Star power!
This guy looks like a film executive that is trying to make a war movie starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, and Jack Black
It's like the Backward Banjo Roll but first two, Thumb-Middle repeated ? of course that's the tricky part . . . oh well if it was easy it wouldn't so friggin cool !
How wonderful UA-cam is at giving access to such great videos as this which raise one's aspirations towards improving as a musician.
He calls them rolls but they are actually classical guitar techniques Flamenco and classical players have been using for centuries. I recognize one right hand 'roll' as a free stroke technique called Arpeggiated Tirando, I think.
Nice! Now stop showing the young 'uns my secrets! I like my job. Hint: I never use a thumbpick - I find them limiting. Thumbnail does a much better job.
Holy Hairshirt!
yeah brilliant video man
He reminds me in studio after hours (the guy who doesn’t wired) Oh naw I don’t need that” studio after pot of coffee, bottle wine. Can’t do it sober. He’s gotta be wife and kids. Yeah sure man” whatever. I said whatever”
This guy looks EXACTLY like Tom Cruise from the movie "Tropic Thunder".
Les Grossman: The Quiet Years.
I have this exact guitar. Ovations round back nylon string.
Man he looks a lot like the late great actor, J. T. Wash, specifically in character as "Charles Bushman" in the movie Sling Blade. He's the guy dragging the chair v e r y s l o w l y in the opening scene, from one end of the State Hospital day room to the other where Karl is seated, starting blankly out the window. Walsh sits down facing Karl from the side and delivers a dense one way monologue brilliantly, damn near stealing the entire movie in the opening scene, which was his only appearance in the movie:
"A Mercury is a good car. That's the car I was driving that day. I've had a lot of cars. Different kinds. Lot's of different kinds of cars. She was standing - this girl - on the side of the street where there was this chicken stand, wasn't the Colonel but it was a chicken stand nonetheless. I pulled the Mercury up right along side her and rolled down the window, see, by electric power. She had on a leather skirt and had a lot of hair on her arms. I like that a lot. That means a big bush. I like a big bush. She says, "Are you dating?" You know, so I said, "Sure". She gets in and we pull off to a remote location that was comfortable for both she and I. She says, "How much do you wanna spend?", I said, "Whatever it will take to see that bush of yours because I know it's a big one". She says, "Twenty five dollars". That's not chicken feed to a working man so I produce the $25, she puts it in her shoe, pulls up her skirt and there before me lay this thin, crooked, uncircumcised penis."
That was a great performance. Reminds me of charles bukowski

I didn't know Les Grossman could play guitar.
reminds me of Bring On The Night by The Police :)
Yash Kshirsagar oddly enough the song that inspired me to play fingerstyle
Too bad there's no fret markers. Friggin' Salad Bowl Ovations.
Mind blown.
Just far too much useful information in this video to comprehend.
Where to even start?
Lol.
Nice ovation.
Guy looks like Convicted Sex Offender But He plays damn Well great lesson ngl

Amazing Guy ! Thx a lot, very nice teach
You better have some solid Travis picking before you try this. Get that thumb goin
Some people make it look so easy! lol
If you guys appreciate his expertise, check out his buddy Thom Bresh.
Ha! Well, this is absolutely true and I know a story behind it. Jerry was friends with my grandfather. They met at a studio in Atlanta when they were teenagers. Jerry was playing the banjo. My grandfather played guitar with him. They moved to Nashville. Jerry got his unique sound by incorporating his superior banjo skills into the guitar. It was banjo first then the guitar sound came. True story.
It's amazing how he makes it sound , great play ,
