Wait just a fucking second, is this the ginger comms guy with the banjo at TQ? Because if so, I'm here because I got a banjo after you played for us in the smoke pit that night we came out to the TOC for heavy equipment work!
I've been taking lessons for about 8 months now and I just discovered your tabs and I'm SO EXCITED I signed up immediately! I'm so excited to have extra things to work on between lessons (my instructor only gives me one song a week and I usually have it down in a day or two so I spend a lot of time wishing for more music lol). So excited!!!
Thank you! I'm so glad I found you. I usually play clawhammer and I just play the chords that I get from guitar tab.. but it never sounds right. It's so hard to find the actual banjo part along with the tab. This will be my first attempt at trying rolls. Thank you for making this effort and posting! .
Thanks for the amazing efforts and tutorials. Noticed you have the tab for Rye Whiskey by Punch Brothers on your website. Any chance of a video upload for this? Many thanks.
Because my old banjo did the same, and it was not geared, meaning, the system in which holds the peg in place consists of gears. Others, like my old banjo, just winded, and i could literally watch it unwind as i tried to tune it to A
You're awesome. I knew how to play this basically but this has much more character. Thanks! I am beyond ecstatic for Down with the Shine; One of my favorite Avett Brother's songs.
A suggestion for a song to do a banjo lesson for is "Lost Highway" by Hank Williams (the Hank Williams). If its too simple to be worth a video by itself throw in "I'm So Lonesome I could Cry". And if you ever could Big Rock Candy Mountains
Another awesome tution video......I don't doubt that you've been asked this a thousand times, but please consider covering Broken Cowboy from The Dead South.
when following along with your tab it appears the order is not the same as what you are playing. looks like you start at line 2 and do lines 3 and 4 after than. but then I get a little lost. help please!
The easiest way to transfer it over is to look up the chords provided in the tab (G, D, Eminor, C). Learn them, and practice until you can play through the song's chord progression without pausing in between them. I don't think people typically pick the tenor banjo, but that shouldn't ever stop you from learning the song and singing to it!
That's very good! and doable by a mere slow pickin mortal like me (only workin on the banjo 2 years about 6hrs a week, 30 years on the guiatar, singin,harp,etc.) Thank You
Thanks!! I will try this with my mandoline, fiddle, bass, guitar friends.Have you tried 'Muskrat"? Great banjo. Check it out at "The Creek Rocks" , cool 2 piece group. Trying to find tabs for that one. No luck so far.

Rock on!
Really nice version
A most excellent rendition, sir. The best I've heard yet.
you keep me sane in this isolation. Thank you!
are you planning on putting up a video for rye whiskey to go with the tab? that would be awesome.
thanks for all the tabs/videos!
This is the song that encouraged me to get a banjo!
This guy plays this on his guitar at this Open Mic Night I go to in Manchester, UK. Finally I can learn the banjo part :)
Can you show each chord separately, so that I can see and (hear) what the chord sounds like by it's self?
Charles Thomas I was thinking the exact same thing
I love this song so much, thank you so much
Great vid and Tabs! Thanks man can you post more old crowe medicine show?
I've been looking all over for this tab. Thank you very much for doing this! I am a happy man!!
FINALLY!!!! Some old crow!!! Humdinger is always a good one ;)
Thanks dude
Awesome job brother. Sounded beautiful.
OMG thanks i'm looking for this song for months it sounds wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey HBD, do you think you could figure out the tab for Mean Mary's Iron Horse song? GREAT song
thanks guy you just taught me the banjo. you rock
Thanks for the amazing efforts and tutorials. Noticed you have the tab for Rye Whiskey by Punch Brothers on your website. Any chance of a video upload for this? Many thanks.

Any chance of some songs from Passenger as lots of banjo in his albums!
Can you do Better Dig Two by The Band Perry
Damn this is memories, I remember using this tutorial back when I was young. I think it's time to pick up the banjo again
Thanks for posting this. I just came back from a guitar store with a capo for my banjo 👍🏼
Rock on!
You're awesome. I knew how to play this basically but this has much more character. Thanks!
I am beyond ecstatic for Down with the Shine; One of my favorite Avett Brother's songs.
Can u make a lesson on their song half mile down
awesome thanks banjo dude, i'll work this out over the weekend!
Sounds great, good song. By the way, been looking at Washburn banjos. Do you recommend the model you're playing?
Any way you could play kesha/pitbull..song: timber..on banjo with tabs? This sounds so cool on the banjo.
The tab page doesn't load for this song. Maybe my computer. Man I would love to know how to play this on the banjo :( sounds good though
I think I'm your 10,000th subscriber. Congrats!
Thank you! Have been working on this song and you've put on the right path!
Thank you so much for posting, always wanted learn it, it's a great tune.
thanks so much for all your work man, if it weren't for your videos I would've already given up on learning banjo
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😩

And if you ever could Big Rock Candy Mountains
How do I find your super tabs .
@happybanjodude I tried tuning my top string up to A and it broke. I put a new one on but I'm afraid to tune it up again. Am I doing something wrong?
No it's not geared but I was able to tune my new string up. I think my first string may have just broken from being a little old.
I can't seem to figure out what your finger pattern is. Is it forward, backward, etc.?
If you could possibly consider doing "Isaac" by Bear's Den I'd be incredibly thankful. Keep up the good work.
Use a chromatic tuner as you atempt to tune it to A. Also, is your 5th string peg geared? like, the other 4 strings?
Hey HBD, can you do the Banjo for the song Cousin Mary by Fludd, it sounds simple, your the best, thanks!
Hey HappyBanjoDude! just wondering what strings you use? p.s. your videos are awesome!!!
can you please do "broken crown" by mumford and sons. :) thanks a lot for all the others by the way
Can you do a tab for liar by Mumford and sons please of there ep
Yo great video! Your tab's D chord shows a 4th finger on the first string but you used third. I thought that felt strange!
THE ABSOLUTE FIRST THING IM LEARNIN WHEN I GET MY BANJO NOW.
what type of banjo do you have I am thinking about getting one what type do you recommend?
What rolls are you doing for this?
Please do 'thumper' by the wedding band :)
Im about to buy a banjo and im wondering if i can use my guitar capo on the banjo? (fender FB-54) :D
awesome, whats the roll , thanks
Another awesome tution video......I don't doubt that you've been asked this a thousand times, but please consider covering Broken Cowboy from The Dead South.
On your website do you have the chords for Wagon Wheel in your books??
The tab is under the "Tabs" tab of my website.
Any chance you could let me know what your roll pattern is? Are you going TMTI?
The complete tab is on my website, dude.
I know, I am subscribed on your site
when following along with your tab it appears the order is not the same as what you are playing. looks like you start at line 2 and do lines 3 and 4 after than. but then I get a little lost. help please!
How can i transfer this to a tenor banjo? Im a newb

Thanks for the reply!
they need more banjo in that song
which banjo brand do you use ? tnks
That would be a Washburn....
What kind of banjo are you using here?
sounds soo warm :)
Thanks HBD!
hey hbd! you should try tabbing some stuff from the Pickin' On Series.
Check out Stay Together For The Kids by Honeywagon (blink 182 cover)
You totally rock!
This is awesome
Amazing videos! Thanks so much.
When do you plan to do actual TABS not sheet music?!
love all the vids. THANKS bro!
I second the Avett Bros request.
That's very good! and doable by a mere slow pickin mortal like me (only workin on the banjo 2 years about 6hrs a week, 30 years on the guiatar, singin,harp,etc.) Thank You
you legend.
DOOOWWN WITH THE SHINE THE PERFECT SHINEE

This is actually super useful. The mix in the song is really low
Distraction #74 by The Avett Brothers
awesome great job hbd
COULD YOU HELP ME WITH THE MOUNTAIN COVERED BY BENJAMIN TOD
love that song :)
Yea...if you could do "firewater" by ocms that would be grrreat... :D
you're the best!
Thanks!! I will try this with my mandoline, fiddle, bass, guitar friends.Have you tried 'Muskrat"? Great banjo. Check it out at "The Creek Rocks" , cool 2 piece group. Trying to find tabs for that one. No luck so far.
this is cool
Love it!!!
Your fucking amazing
Use your head when you make comments. Our grand kids look at these sites too to listen to the music.
Tom Neff and you think they don't know the f word?
Is that a new banjo head? Why dose everyone on youtube have nice banjo skins and mine wear so fast around the ring?
that is a new banjo head. If it doesn't wear very fast you're not playing enough.
plis take the warden too... i think is good for who is beginning
Copper head road !
Haha my band decided last night to cover this song. I guess it was meant to be.
Thats it im buying a banjo
Do it!
found my capo and got me a 5th string capo. Complements of my cousin.
the tabs won't load!
Oh god! The TABS WON'T LOAD!!!
