Nice!...........................................................................

Good to hear you doing a strike song, Frank. I spent a year on strike over here in England during 1984/5 during the Great NUM Strike. I'm becoming quite a fan.

Dear Frank, My nick-name 'Black Jake Two Fingers' derives from my once very limited style of banjo playing, literally with one finger from each hand! A good friend of mine, an English folk-singer named Pete Bellamy (later a member of the Young Tradition) was so appalled he gave me Pete Seeger's 'How to Play The 5-String Banjo'. That was a long time ago. About 60 years ago, in fact. Since then I've sort of got the hang of banjo playing. What I wanted to say that after all those years, your lessons, and I've looked at them all, are a fitting tribute to Seeger, and even at this late stage I've still found them really useful, and anyone taking up the 5-string, should take a really good look. Thank you very much indeed.

A great banjo,man with popular songs .....from Fance

Good song ,hope the pollies are listening and take it to heart

The hard part is not automatically downstroking that first string; up-picking instead.

If I'm not mistaken, you could probably play this on a regular banjo given the placement of the capo. Once he moves it though, I guess you need to get a long neck.

Bad brilliant cool… thanks man…🪕🪕🪕

He's not only pre digital, he's pre Analog! Just what we need in our over information, over everything world.

I love this guy!!!

Excellent ❤

great job Frank! i just stumbled on your videos. i am learning clawhammer style. on your right hand are you alternating the first and second strings? second and third? I assume i can use down strokes and no picks since i do not do scruggs style. looking forward to watching more of your videos!!

I was recently given a banjo. I have experience with guitar and ukulele but had always wanted to learn the banjo. Surfing through youtube videos I came across yours. Thanks to you I just played my first song on the banjo! I will definitely be viewing your library! Thanks again 😃

❤

I love the Pete Seeger style great tutorial🪕🪕🪕

I'm enjoying your banjo sessions immensely and can't wait for the next tune

I love this song so much such a sweet tune thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for these lessons. Seeger style is just the best.

So nice to find this video. Some days ago I first listened to Tommy Makem Leaving of Liverpool with his impressive Banjo playing, then Donovans Colours with Pete Seeger Solo at the end (and averse about Deroll Adams, one of my early heros) and now I got your video how to learn the Seeger style. After 10 years trying to learn in Skrugg style, I hopegully could

Awesome concert. So happy I was there especially to see my brother Tom Ekwurtzel perform !!

Frank Hamilton has passed along to others a musical heritage that will now outlive us all.

Thank you! Really helpful!

I think it’s more intuitive to begin playing banjo this way, I’m a newbie but have found some cool riffs with the Seeger style ❤

great lessons.the best pete seeger style lessons you can find on you tube.thank you sir, you are a fantastic teacher.

👏👏👏 and 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️for all involved!

So many classes and students! Thanks for the video.

I haven't got the changing the keys down I still have my banjo in g so I'll have to watch some more videos of yours to know how to change it back and forth

Thank you so much for teaching me the Pete Seeger style Mr Frank I'm enjoying it so much

Great stuff! Thanks! 😎

Love you music keep up the good work

Seeger can't be credited as the person who changed the banjo world by being the person who sang with banjo. Many many many people sang with the banjo WAY before Pete did.

I really enjoyed that...

Great job by all of you,beautiful performance !!

Very enjoyable and nice to see some people I know from Your Second Half. I’m in Brooklyn NY! Wish I could see in person

How is the melody played without fretting the notes

What's the pattern

Never mentioned what strings he was hitting with index finger

Woooot!! :)

This is so moving. As great as this song is, I think the banjo adds a necessary dimension of hope to it. Keep up the wonderful work! I play folk music on my channel, and I find this so inspirational. I subscribed and I'll tell my friends to also :)

Frank does an outstanding job. This entire series is great.
