Really good idea Jim! I learned this song on banjo awhile back and I did a video of it last summer and it's the most viewed video on my channel. People seem to like hearing songs they know on the banjo. I bet this will get a ton of views!
I'm still learning but love to view all of the videos to understand where I'm going. As I've said , it's great to see someone share their passion as I build mine (even as a very old guy!). Many tnx Jim...you're the best!!!!!
This is great! Jim, I just wanted to let you know the progress I've made on my Banjo journey so far is largely due to your You-Tube instruction videos, the great versions of tunes that you put up and the tabs that you post. Thanx a bunch! Please keep it going you are doing great and your help is very much appreciated. Cheers!
I think learning "non-traditional" banjo melodies builds keyboard know-how. Those chord changes in Sweet Home Alabama don't occur often in bluegrass. Thanks, Jim. You're still the best teacher on the Internet.
Hello Jim. Love the channel. I haven't being playing long but find your video's and tabs are a real inspiration. Good to see your looking well after your surgery. All the best from the Yorkshire in the UK
Love your channel. I picked up a banjo last fall. I used your videos to get me started. Then the second week of November I got the pneumonia. I was in the hospital until January 10th. Nearly died, twice. Once home I picked up my banjo, but my hands shook so bad I couldn't hardly pick at all, But I kept at it and now I'm back to where I left off 3 months ago.
Uh… go back to the beginning of the video. Furthermore, it’s three chords… over and over. I think most folks are able to figure it out based on the short demo.
Hi Jim! I’ve been watching your live streams on TikTok, and have been really wanting to learn the banjo. Thanks for uploading these videos for us to view. Thanks, Scotty.
Hi Jim! I really like this arrangement, it adds a lot of color to the song. I just learned Bonaparte's retreat and even made up a whole section of the tab I found to make it sound better, which I never thought I'd be able to do! Thank you so much for putting this stuff out and helping me and everyone else here learn all this stuff.
Thanks Jim I've been trying too. I've been putting 2 sided tape on my banjo to remind me to keep my fingers on the top I'll do anything I have to ,to make it work.
Hello Jim. In 8 weeks I'll get my first banjo for my 40th birthday and I'm really looking forward to it. Until then, I'll pass the time with your videos in the hope that I won't be too stupid with the first attempts. Thumbs up! Best wishes from Germany!
Loving these banjo remixes of classic rock. Would also love to see some Dock Boggs style tutorials if you're interested in that technique(it's a really easy transition for guitar fingerpickers like myself 😆). Thank you for preserving the musical history of this country, good sir!
Thanks for the video Jim! I been searching UA-cam for a demo of this song but couldn’t find a good one until yours arrived. I’ve been practicing this song for about 3-4 days now from this video. Thanks again. Do you think you could do a video on the song Old Dan Tucker?
Jim I am a brand new banjo player and am loving your beginner lessons! Thank you for being here. I was inspired by a lot of the old time tunes but there is a new one that I love and was wondering where to get help learning it. It is “ I will wait” by Mumford and sons. Do you know where I could get that??
Hi Jim. Thanks for your help with learning to play the banjo. Just wondering if you could help me learn to play Katie by Fred Eaglesmith. It's a top tune. All the best and Thanks.
hey jim. you won't believe me, twice. first, i always wanted to ask you how it is playing lynyrd skynyrd, but i was to afraid🤭 2. sweet home alabama is the only thing i can do almost perfectly on my banjo ^^ thanks man. it's a gift to have you✌ wish you all well! maybe one day,.you will help me to perform creedence?!?!😜
Hi Jim! I'm hoping for some clarification around 3:22 - when it switch and you strum the 3rd string in G, then you do the forward roll - how should my left hand fingers be positioned? I keep rewinding, but I don't know what shape you're holing during the slide from 2-5 and during the forward roll. Thanks!
Dang it can I join a group reason I am asking is I have arthritis and woul like some ideas of to maybe do things a little or maybe some picking exercises to loosen up fingers
Does anybody have any extra banjo strings they could part with? I just acquired a banjo that has no strings. And I really want to learn but I can't afford strings for it

Love you videos too. This song is hard right. I am having a difficult because there are no rolls.
I'm still learning but love to view all of the videos to understand where I'm going. As I've said , it's great to see someone share their passion as I build mine (even as a very old guy!). Many tnx Jim...you're the best!!!!!

Welcome back. I understand; I had a 3 months layoff recently due to some health issues.
JIM!!!! You needed to run all the way THROUGH it a few times so we could hear the finished flow of the whole thing!!!
Uh… go back to the beginning of the video. Furthermore, it’s three chords… over and over. I think most folks are able to figure it out based on the short demo.
Love this song. Thanks so much for teaching it on the banjo! Keep up the great videos!God Bless!
My pleasure!!
Another great tune Jim and the on screen tabs an added bonus. Great to see you looking well after your operation
Keep well. Cheers
Thanks 😊
Hi love that rendition of sweet home alabama, been looking for a way to play it and you showed how thanks

@@JimPankey thanks for taking the time to answer, you are the best on the internet 👍

You can learn it!
A fellow I know up around the corner from me does a pretty impressive Beatles Blackbird on a 5-string
So excited for this one!!!
Enjoy!

I do like Boggs, but I really don’t play in his style, and I really don’t do note for note lessons of other people’s playing.
Musicians will do as musicians do. haha Appreciate the content!
Love your teaching style. Can you do "Mr. Bojangles" sometime?
Hay that was all right 👍
Thanks
This is awesome!!!
Thanks 😊
Banjo roll tide!
cool, thanks
de nada
Love your videos Jim great picking.
Thanks 😊
This is very helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome!
I'm not at this point, yet. But this is great motivation to get there. Thanks!
You can do it!
"Turn it up!"
Hell yeah….
Thanks
Cool
thanks!
Jim, you are a genius! End of. :-)
Thanks ☺️

Very nice. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. :)
Thx jim
Thanks for watching ☺️
🥰Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Jim! I’d better find a video for the Georgia Bulldawgs here soon! We have to give the fans of the National Champs something to pick.
This alumnus is waiting for something better than “Glory Glory” to play on the banjo.
can you do a tutorial of old dan tucker, big fan from newzealand
Thanks for the suggestion
Jim I am a brand new banjo player and am loving your beginner lessons! Thank you for being here.
I was inspired by a lot of the old time tunes but there is a new one that I love and was wondering where to get help learning it. It is “ I will wait” by Mumford and sons. Do you know where I could get that??
I really don't know... Not really familiar with any of their music.
amazing!
Thanks!
Hope Neil Young will remember!
Hi Jim, seeing as you're doing some covers that are not normally banjo tunes is it possible to do a cover of copper head road ps get well soon
Thanks for the suggestion
Hi Jim. Thanks for your help with learning to play the banjo.
Just wondering if you could help me learn to play Katie by Fred Eaglesmith. It's a top tune.
All the best and Thanks.
How bout the breaking down the banjo part in Take it Easy?
Google the chord changes, play rolls over the chords, sing. Done. Seriously 🤷🏻♂️
hey jim. you won't believe me, twice.
first, i always wanted to ask you how it is playing lynyrd skynyrd, but i was to afraid🤭
2. sweet home alabama is the only thing i can do almost perfectly on my banjo ^^
thanks man. it's a gift to have you✌
wish you all well!
maybe one day,.you will help me to perform creedence?!?!😜
Glad to help! Some CCR stuff works pretty easily…. You should grab some chord changes to some tunes you like and give them a try.
Great video. Is the tab available somewhere? I can't find it. Thanks
The link is in the description and in the tags in the video.

Maybe this will help: ua-cam.com/video/EQOfHWnIrxU/v-deo.htmlsi=Y_JM9R4-HYubQ9wJ
Question what is wrong with anchoring my little finger on the bridge of my banjo it is the only place that feels natural to me?
You can, but what happens when you need to get into the Y position? (See my dynamics video)
👍
Thanks!
Dang it can I join a group reason I am asking is I have arthritis and woul like some ideas of to maybe do things a little or maybe some picking exercises to loosen up fingers
Have you been thru my beginner series?
No I have not how do I get there
I am not very computer competent si if I want to take lessons how do I do that
I don’t offer one on one lessons.
FREEBIRD!
Hush you! 🤪😜
Does anybody have any extra banjo strings they could part with? I just acquired a banjo that has no strings. And I really want to learn but I can't afford strings for it
jims a ledge frfr ong
Thanks ☺️
If Jim was my neighbour, I would bring him a cake every week.
And I’d be gaining even more weight!! 😅
Can you do a tutorial for She’s Country on banjo
Thx I’m advance if you could thx can’t find any out there!
Never heard that one.
Can't type either sorry
How about Simple man
You should be able to take bits of this and ideas from my other lessons and create your own version...
I just want to hear u play it. Your good! You got alot years of skilled. I'm still working on my skill about 2 months now
Does he have tabs for this?
I do: wildjimbo.sellfy.store/p/sweet-home-alabama
Clawhammer please Sir
I bet if you apply the left hand fingering you could figure out a clawhammer arrangement.
@@JimPankey I know I know....can't blame a man for trying to be lazy though, right?
Cool pintos
pintos?
@@JimPankey maybe as in pinto beans? “Cool beans”
