I like that you do a lot of Gospel type songs on the banjo. I've been playing guitar for 25+ years, and really like playing church type music. Now that I'm learning the banjo, I'd like to transfer some of the songs I like over to the banjo, and it's nice to hear how someone else does it. I've learned the basics of clawhammer, 2 finger, and bluegrass style, but not a whole lot more than that. BTW, is there any cheap land in your neck of the woods? I live in Indiana, but would like to try life in a different state. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much

THANK YOU! You're just what I've been looking for.

Working on my fingers for chords. Kinda short stubby finger so it will take a litlke training. Going slow but enjoying using my right hand a little better. Thank you for all your help.

Yes, if we practice slowly, we won't make mistakes, and if we don't make mistakes, the muscle memory of the hand doesn't know how to play wrong... have a happy day!

i want to learn what you are teaching.

Thank you for your videos sir, I pray that you continue to recover 🙏🏼

I'm 71 years old and want to learn the banjo. I like your style and back porch playing is where I want to be. Thank you for doing this. It is a blessing to have some one teach me the old ways. I miss that terribly. That was the way I learned to farm. In the field, sweating and learning from all the older hands. Hymns are beautiful when you hear them on the banjo.Thank you again.

Hi Shawn.. hope you are doing well!? God bless you

Amen❤😂

Great job on a beautiful song!

Thank you so much! I'm interested in learning banjo to play worship at my church and in my small group. So glad to find your channel! Thank you for sharing John 3:16! God Bless You Brother!

Sorry, but you need more lighting. I can't hardly see you or your hand but I'm enjoying your Listen

Thank you so much!!! This is MY FIRST SUCCESSFULLY PLAYED BANJO TUNE!!!! what a perfect and poignant one! I was lost, I was blind, but now I can see that there is hope for me!!!! You are a phenomenal teacher, God bless you! I will remember this moment for the rest of my life!

I look forward and appreciate your warm welcoming at the beginning of your videos.

I like the ditty good Dogs Get Biscuits Daily, to remember the tuning. You know, gDGBD. I heard it from a claw hammer player. It helps me though and I hope it helps somebody else. I am new to the Banjo and don't trust me inexperienced ear. Hopefully I will develop an ear like Banjologic, shows one day.

Thank you! Im 73 and from Australia. My Grandad played the Banjo and now I am watching you to learn too. My Mums name was Grace and I have started learning Amazing Grace from you. it might take a while!!!

I've had a banjo sitting around getting dusty for years so I just spent the afternoon on TH-cam looking through "how to play banjo" lessons. Most start off with bluegrass rolls - far too complicated for me. Then I came across your lesson for basic 2-finger banjo, which is just what I need. So thanks for this. I'll give you more feedback after I've followed along a bit more. Oh, and you got me when you said, "It's got nothing to do with talent." Love it.

it looks good and I'm ready to go

Thank you so much for doing these...I don't know if you know this hymn or not but could you do a lesson on I've Never been sorry it's in the old red back hymnal

Use a nylon string setup if you want to learn without picks.

Hi there, I don't know if you check your comments anymore, but I just wanted to send some thanks your way for making banjo videos I can follow. I'm not musically inclined at all, I'm way more visual with my creativity, but your lessons are the first I could really learn from after a few weeks of trying a kazillion other online teachers. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and encouraging demeanor. I can now play Amazing Grace. One of my Dad's favorite songs of all time. (He is a retired Southern Baptist preacher.) I will play this for him soon and it will mean a lot. Thank you for this gift of banjo knowledge, my friend!

Thankyou for this great lesson, I am 64yrs young and just started to learn playing 2 fingered Banjo, Your first lesson has got me keen to practice each and every day, THANK YOU 😁👍👌🪕

I just got a 5 string. I like the way you play. I want to play hymns too. Thanks

Thanks

Want to learn your method

Hi there, I just stumbled upon this video. Thank you. Feels like you’re talking to a friend sitting in the same room. Glad you’re doing this. I’m going to dive in and do some pickin’.

The accent is what makes this best. I like ‘larnin’ from you

I enjoyed your lesson 1 video and I plan to watch the remainder of the lessons, but I have a question. I don’t have a banjo but I have a 4 string tenor guitar that I’ve tuned to standard banjo tuning. Your teaching with 5 string banjo, how would your picking pattern apply to learning 4 string banjo?

I am here to say ,,, My new open back banjo came yesterday, it is a Recording King OT25 and it is looking good.. A beautiful instrument.. I don't know if it needs a name, like some folks give theirs.. LOL 😊

This might be a silly question, but is there any particular reason to use the index finger rather than the middle finger? The middle finger feels more natural to me, so I'm just wondering. I've practiced to this video with both fingers just in case haha. Thank you so much, this is super helpful!

What a godsend! What a great teaching style. Like/Subscribe/Bell

My discouragement is that I have large hands and tried all the techniques suggested wherever suggestions could be to fret anything without muffling the adjacent strings.

Suggestion…put some light on yourself and the banjo. Old folk like me ant see what your teaching.

BanjoLogic, please put more videos up. Nothing for a year, I hope you okay. I really miss your lessons. Kind Regards - Gary from England.

I don not see a cog or gear?

Well it depends on how many beat per measure you are looking at. The easiest way I've found to incorporate it into the melody, is to learn and play the melody notes to the song then after that just start incorporating the bum ditty where it sounds best to you. Especially where there are longer notes in the melody, that's a good place to start incorporating them. After awhile it will become second nature to you. Yes, it has been over a year since I put any videos out because I had a stroke that I'm recovering from. I had to start playing the mandolin because I can't pick or clawhammer the banjo for now. I'm going to be getting botox treatments in my hand that will hopefully help. Hopefully I will be able to resume banjo lessons again soon. Thank you for your comment and I hope this helps. Blessings in Jesus Christ.

Just found your channel, love your teaching, but have a question, on the bum ditty roll, is the bum beat, beat 1 a quarter note, and the dit-ty note be 2&, two eight notes? I notice the last comment was over a year ago, are you still putting up videos? My problem is I know the rolls but have trouble incorporating the melody, Thank you for your time on creating these videos, God Bless

I learned Will the Circle be unbroken both with tabs, and with 2-finger style. I have an old hymn called "The Hallelujiah side" using 2-finger style (no tabs) with a couple of Scruggs licks at the beginning. That old hymn I was able to figure out myself, using the bum diddie roll - all on the second fret. Your method is great approach, especially since I already know so many old hymns from our street church. My next move is to bring it to fiddle jam.

Good stuff!

When is this dude coming back

Is there any way we can get a printed copy of your Amazing Grace? It's great. Do you do any modern country music like "Country Road" by John Denver? It was the song when I was in Viet Nam.

Shawn, Just picked up a banjo and your my teacher. God bless you brother

I was watching another video on two finger style and the pattern was that the thumb picks the melody and plays the 5th as a drone. The 1st finger picks the 1st string as a drone also. Am I maybe just getting ahead of myself on this?

Hello there watching you from the uk and would like to say thank you very much ! Be lucky.

Well done, nice and simple

He is King. 👑 👍
