the sleeping kitty is so precious
It's taken me 3 weeks to get here and I generally practice one hour/day. Its fun, I love it. D7 was tough but I'm at about 80% accuracy now. Eli, this is great. Thank you.
Hey Eli. I got a brand new banjo from a family friend at the start of quarantine, almost a year ago exactly. I play guitar and bass, but picking the banjo up was a whole different animal - I felt like I was picking up a guitar for the very first time (very frustrating). I bought finger picks but never used them. I tried learning some tunes (Cripple Creek), but no other UA-cam tutorials were teaching songs in a beginner-friendly manner. After a time, the banjo gathered dust.
Fast-forward to a few days ago, and I came across your 30 day series. I decided to sit down and commit myself to completing this starter course. Despite being horribly awkward at first, I'm using fingerpicks. Your videos are amazing. Slowly introducing rolls and techniques and before I knew it, I can play Boil Them Cabbage Down at a pretty good pace. I'm actually making very fast progress and feeling more comfortable with the instrument.
Psyched to start Cripple Creek now and eventually learn other tunes. I feel like I'll have a strong base after completing this course. This is a great way to start learning banjo.
Just wanted to say thanks, and keep doing what you're doing!

Love the Cat..😺
Came here to say the same thing haha!

Kitty!! My two favorite things: banjos and cats!
73 years old on lesson 11 just taken me 20 days to get here old dog new trick I guess but really enjoying it thanks
Thank you, banjo man
Shout out to everyone making it this far in the series. I’m loving the pacing and extra resources provided. I’m getting intimidated to play fast but am so excited. Fantastic lesson Eli. I’m excited to share progress at day 20 and 30
I am working on this lesson now. It has taken me about a month to get here due to work, I can only get in about 30 minutes every other day. Thanks for all you do Eli. I couldn't have made it this far without your lessons.
Finally, lesson 10. I had to stick around the last lesson for a while to get it down. This lesson was tough for me, it wasn't in the sense of understanding, it was just the fact I had learned cripple creek previously another way. The version in this was nice but I found it difficult to relearn as I've learned to play it the other way and I was used to it, so I found a compromise. I got the first part down, but I used the previous version in the 2nd measure, still sounds pretty nice. Thanks for the new lesson!!!
"Finally, lesson 10. I had to stick around the last lesson for a while to get it down."
You wouldn't happen to be referring to John morres version of cripple creek would you?
I'm from Brazil . banjo5 is not sold here. nor the strings. but every day I learn from your videos. thank you very much master.
Got a little behind on my days because college wanted some big essays, but I’m still here. I really enjoyed the slide, my mother came over and I played her what I learned on day 8-she was impressed!
can we call it 90 days of banjo ?
Right?! I've been stuck on day 9 for a hot minute. 😫
LoL, I was 2weeks on day 7
It took me about a month to get day 9 and I still can’t play it super quick yet, but I’m gunna keep trying to get quicker
Lolol. I am so with you guys!
Still not comfortable with fingerpicks, but it is so much fun to play 5string banjo. Been tired of playing heavy metal guitar, the banjo gives a fresh break..
Oh man, such a different sound haha. I love playing multiple instruments for that reason. Play whatever you're feeling at the time.
Same… guitar gets kinda boring. Unless I’m in the mood for it these days. I usually only get excited if I have a new pedal or piece of gear.
Press 7 for a quick rewind to the start of the full playthrough
I truly cannot thank you enough for this video series! There are zero banjo teachers in my area, so online learning is my only option for picking up this instrument! Your videos have been the perfect for what I need. Thank you!! (also I love your cat)
Perfect progress learning for absolute beginner.
I can’t believe how quickly I’m learning.
Thanks again for the lessons!!! Getting really comfortable with Day 9 took a bit, but I'm stoked to be moving forward with some confidence!!!
Hello Eli
you made me understand how to read music. I'm making great progress. Your explanations are clear and to the point
thank you very much for your great videos
Best regards from Germany

Today is day 1. I have grinded through all videos until now. My beloved cripple creek has finally stopped me... the challenge begins. Thank you brother
Wo impressive, I had to stop day 9
Just want to thank you, the 30 days of banjo has really gotten me out of a banjo rut. Only on day 10 too!!!
I am new to playing the banjo. I am taking this slowly but am really enjoying how you teach. I found some tablature for the Hallelujah and am trying that at the same time. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks again Eli, day 5 I can play this and boil them cabbage. Just going to be repeating both now until I get them really solid. Thanks again, amazing teacher
my third finger needs a callus from these slides! pretty tender right now
There was a huge breakthrough once I had developed some actual calluses on my fingers. Things like sliding and actually getting good sounding notes become infinitely easier once you have tougher skin to work with.
Lessons are great! Thank you!
HI Eli. I'm really enjoying your work on this series. Very encouraging and applicable.
Hope you don't mind if I point out that the tab displayed at 1:50 doesn't show the 4th beat of measure 2.
Thanks again Eli.
Thanks for another great lesson. I just noticed the cat! I have a black and white one too!
the first day of playing the baanjo was hard even to hold but you have got me so far already
I'm against cats in the house.
Hank Williams Jr. 😉
Just playin.
Thank you!
Love your cat!!!!
I clicked away to answer a text and could only hear the first three notes, and the moment I was off the page I went "OH MY GOD, it's Cripple Creek!"
Not sure if you still read these comments, but in the beginning of the video it seems like you play the last two measures considerably faster than the first two.
I got the first two measures down pretty well but the last two don't sound like yours at all.
Thanks for the great lessons!
I'm have great trouble with that 4th string. I look at it at the top frets, my eyes see a top string and my thumb automatically goes to the 5th string. So frustrating! They should have banjos with a fake 5th string for the first five frets. 😂 Lesson 10 is taking much more time than I thought
Loving this course!!! I recently rediscovered the Dillards and I'm wondering if you're planning to include Doug Dillard in your series of banjo players.
doug dillard was always my most favortite, he plays one of the darling boys in andy griffith with his brothers
One thing that really would have helped would have been to play the second two measures together like you did the first two. They're too short to make sense by themselves
THAS A BABY!
I also have a tuxedo cat. He doesn't like my banjo though. He scats at the mere sights
Your cat is cool.
Why is no one talking about that sweet fluffy baby behind him?
I’m having trouble going from the first part to the slide. Anyone have any tips for that?
I can't get the sliding g from fret 2/3 to sound any where near that. I've been stuck for about a week.
Loving the lessons. One frustration is playing notes and deadening other strings. No matter how i try to position my fingers, i cant avoid touching other strings. I don't confess to having particularly fat fingers however they wouldn't be classed as 'sleek'. Any advice on technique???
Use fingertips, not the pads
Hopefully you figured out the technique but for those that haven't....
1 make sure the banjo is pretty level meaning almost straight up and down. Try to not play at an angle. This will reduce your chances of muting or muddying a note.
2 use the tips of your fingers. Number 1 will help with two. My hands are pretty big for this small instrument but practicing good posture and finding what works and sticking to it is the only way to make it normal and comfortable when playing an instrument.
Before I move on, I feel like I should be able to play it like you do in the beginning of the video…am I doing that right? Or should I be gettin it slow and moving on to the next video?
Don't worry about speed for now, just make sure you're getting the notes and playing in time!
@@EliGilbertBanjo Thanks my man!
Hey Eli, I'm losing almost all of my volume when I do the 2-5 slide and I can't hear it over the second string. Any tips?
Is your banjo set up properly (is the head very tight…with very little mushyness?)
Quesiton: The first note is a pinch slide (2nd fret -5th fret) and the second seems to be a pinch, but in your video, you seem to only play the fifth string!!?? Am I seeing/hearing it wrong?
What finger picks do you use?
Sammy Shelor fingerpicks, Dunlop Ultex Thumb Pick
Just got to this lesson. I've been playing guitar and piano for 10 years so I kinda breezed through the first 9 lessons. For some reason the slide sounds really out of place going to the third fret. Like it's almost too flat and detracts from the sound. Is it just me.
Thank you!
