Thank you! We have already broke 2 strings (My boys tried to help me. We know nothing about banjos ) trying to learn how to string. Was also scared to brake the old banjo that was givin to me, especially since it belonged to my grandpa. Now can't turn one of the tuner pegs so just gonna take it in to get evaluated and set up maybe depending on prices. But am definitely gonna have to learn to string it for my self.... This looks so much easier than what we were trying. Yay! Blessings😊
GREAT VIDEO!!! I have owned my banjo since 1984!! yes. I was 21 when I got my banjo. . I just changed the strings last month. I can believe it took me this long to get on the banjo bandwagon. I'm obsessed now with fixing it up and taking lessons again. oh, and i just bought my 2nd banjo. a Harley Benton. the Thomann shop in Germany is shipping it now.
that's why i love your channel, always sharing advice. I'll have to try that next year when i change my strings, (just kidding about a year). I change them every two months or so. I usually leave the g string on to hold the bridge, then change that last.
Thanks Tom! Haha. I always take them all off so I can clean the fretboard, but I usually don’t sit outside and the bridge doesn’t fall off lol.
My mind is blown!! I've struggled so many times and in the end sought help from my music store guy .🤣 Thanks for this - I use loop end strings, but maybe I should try your method with ball end ones. Wish me luck! 😊
This is loop end strings
@@BanjoLemonade oh my word, that really is amazing!!
MIND BLOWN!
First time I changed strings I didn’t realize the importance of the bridge being properly located on the drum. So that cost me some time. Now I have a pencil mark to relocate bridge to the exact same position. Excellent way to change strings.thanks
Once you get used to placing it, it’s no big deal. You just string it up, tune it, then check the intonation at 12th fret. The move accordingly until it’s right. I don’t mark any of my heads (because I change them out and may put them on another banjo).
@@BanjoLemonade
Thanks so much for sharing. Appreciate it.
@@BanjoLemonade you should do a video on the bridge intonation if you haven’t already! Help us beginners out! Lol
Nice technique. That stone banjo is so cool. I hope I can get one one day. Earthwood are good strings, I've used them for years.
They are!
Thank you so much! My dad gave me his old banjo for Christmas last year. I have watched so many videos of others taking forever explaining how to change strings. I watched your video and I understood it right away!! THANK YOU!!!
Glad I could help!
I've been playing on the original strings for over 200 hours. I think I'm overdue for some new strings. Someone mentioned this video to me...can't wait to try this technique out. Thanks!
Worked like a charm. Thanks from the Bay Area, CA!
You just saved my banjo life! Nice, simple, helpful! And I got your strings here in Russia. Great srtings and the only ones here. (Kidding! there’s three types). It was my first time changing and first I watched so many wrong vids. But Jesus loves me. Thanks again. 💜💜🙌
Put new strings on my Taylor guitar today. Using this method. Quick and easy, no slipping. (Brilliant)
Thanks ( saves a bunch of time.)
Glad it helped!
Awesome! Thank you soooo much!😇🪕
Glad to know you follow Jerry at Rosa Stringworks & even more glad that you follow Jesus!
AMEN! 🙏
Thank you this was really helpful!
That was so easy , thank you, from England.
Hey Teach. I tried stringing my banjo for the first time all by myself ( the method you showed was awesome ! ). I thought I was well on my way 3 strings done when I looked down and noticed I didn't feed the strings through a part of the tail piece that i was supposed to. 😧. Had to take them all off , but at least I know I can string them myself next time. 😊 Thanks to you. Just wanted to say Thank you!!!
Your set is my set. I took your advice the first time you recommended them.
Haha that’s great! Don’t get fooled like I did and go down the rabbit hole of trying all these different ones. These are just great 👍
I’m out of town on a work trip and I bring my banjo to play in my hotel. Well I broke a dang string last night, I can’t wait to try this method!!
always keep an extra set or 2 of strings in your case. I broke a 5th string last night at a jam and had that puppy changed in under 5 minutes.
I hate changing my strings. You make it look so easy and I’m doing it your way next time. BTW - love, love, love the new banjo baby!
Thank you sweetie!! ❤️ 😘
thank you so much!!! I like all your videos but this one is the best 😉
I’m learning to play my Luxor tenor banjo and broke a string. Earth wood doesn’t seem to make tenor strings. What do you recommend Your teaching is making be a better student. Keep it up! Blessings
Depends on what tuning you want. I like John Pearse for tenor guitar, and he makes tenor banjo too - juststrings.com/jps_2035h.html?setCurrencyId=1&sku=JPS_2035H&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsuSzBhCLARIsAIcdLm5BGa4KQJGXKj2YhiYTbO8pNVgbMHExtvRIomnvBUn1yeHyMn3iv3QaAr_6EALw_wcB
Awesome video rock on
I just bought a banjo Uke from walmart its fun they even gave me an extra set of strings too.
Oh wow, that’s cool! Have fun.
Happy Sunday!
I’m a newbie to the banjo. I own a Luxor tenor banjo (CGDA tuning) with light gauge strings. I’m having trouble locating Earthwood strings in light gauge. For that matter I can’t find Tenor strings in light gauge. Which strings, if any, from a 5 string light gauge set can I use?
I welcome your comments.
Lovin ya in Jesus
Great video Mandy! Should a person mark the head with a pencil where the bridge is to put it back? Or is there a trick to that as well?
I have a video - ua-cam.com/video/36CwUg34Wvs/v-deo.html
I wonder if you can do that with guitars would save a lot of time changing strings?
Absolutely yes! I’ve done it on my husbands guitar, my mando, my dulcimers, and banjos. IT WORKS AMAZING and is so fast!
@@BanjoLemonade Awesome that will save me a ton of time changing strings especially if one breaks durning praise and worship practice on Sunday before services. God bless you this will be a life saver
It really is great!
Huh that’s backwards from what I was always taught. Doing this next time! Usually I’d put it though the post first, do the knot and then turn the tuner. Your way is faster
Hi I’m a complete novice on the banjo. I purchased the strings you recommended but I’m confused. The spare strings that came with my banjo are marked G,D,G,B,D The ones you recommended are marked 10,13, 15, 24 and 19, so I don’t have a clue what order the go on the banjo for G tuning. I can’t find a chart anywhere that shows the gauges of the strings to show the corresponding note. Unless 10 is G, 13 is D, 15 is G, 24 is B and 19 is D
Can you help please.
Never mind I found out which way they. I'm 85 so I get easly muddled
I had the same question. What note corresponds to which number? I assume G is #10 because there are two of them.
I juse my ernie ball 046 009 guitar strings works perfekt for me
Great video. Thank you very much. Are the 5th and 1st string the same size? In a pinch can you use the 1st string for the 5th and vice versa? The reason I ask is because I bought some strings to replace the 5th string and then looked at the specs. Not that I minded buying strings, I was just without a banjo until they came and I might have been able to keep playing in the meantime.
Yes absolutely you can interchange them. If I’m ever out of strings I’ll steal one off of guitar or anything I can find. Haha.
@@BanjoLemonade thanks for the info 👍🏼
Aw man, I wanted to see the tunneled 5th go in. I still don't get how those work 😕
Dang, sorry! I was trying to make the video quick. Haha. It’s really easy actually. Just a little metal tube and the string slides right in with no problem.
@@BanjoLemonade
I can't wrap my head around that angle! I'm just gonna have to get one myself. 🤑
haha yep that’s a great excuse to get a new banjo!! I’ve wanted one forever and finally got one and I’m not going back. SOOOOO nice not having that tuner in the way. Clean looking too. There’s no sharp angles with it if it’s done right. Steve over at Stone does it right.
Thank you for this video. Just wondering if the bridge location should be marked?
You’re welcome! I never mark mine, it’s an easy thing to do and I don’t like putting marks on my heads in case I want to swap with another banjo. I did a video on this here- ua-cam.com/video/36CwUg34Wvs/v-deo.html
Grab a measuring device (ruler, or anything) that you measure from the nut to the 12th fret. That distance there - is the same distance from the 12th to the bridge. That will get you 99.9% there. Then tune everything up. Then pluck your 3rd string (G), then fret it at the 12th and you should have a dead on (G) in the next octave. If it’s sharp, move the bridge back a teensy bit, flat move it forward. Until everything is good. Only takes a minute once you get your strings on and stretched out. If you practice it you get real good at it and can do it on any suspended bridge type thing real easy. Have fun!
Can I use this method for nylon strings?
you can definitely try it, but nylon stretches so much.
Will do thanks 👍
What do the numbers mean on each package ?
Usually that will have the string guage listed, you can find which guage goes where by looking at the back of the package or somewhere on the package.
You would think, right? No instructions with what number goes for which string . I have the same package as you too. The back just listed names of musicians. Love your channel that I just discovered.
You left out the most important part: curling the short ends to avoid injury.
Excellent technique, I'm so gunna try this method, lovin your vids best rgds, pez u k....❤
GREAT ! My least favorite banjo chore made easy !
