    I’m assuming you have done like every other kid and are now on your phone or playing video games all day & night, right? 😢😢😢 I just got my banjo and now got a Deering because it’s lighter. I hope I don’t give up on it… 😢

    Amazing... I'm trying to learn banjo myself. I'm confused as to learn clawhammer or bluegrass style. What was the first steps that you took and video tutorials that you used? I'd love to follow your footsteps and learn that fast.

    I'm a 45 year guitarist. Started finger picking classical before I could use a pick. I've wanted to play banjo since I was a kid but never had time. I'm looking into buying one and you inspire me to play. I am having trouble trying not to use my ring finger. I tuned my guitar up to a banjo tuning Just to practice the rolls, But because the guitar body is so big my hand will not let me anchor my ring finger. You're doing a great job and I have great hope for myself!!❤❤ I just subscribed. I'm 61.

    I bought my used Epiphone banjo 2 weeks ago and I was on lesson 4 of “Jim Pankey’s Learning Bluegrass Banjo” (Highly Recommended). I suddenly began to feel pain in my right shoulder and now after 4 days of worsening pain, I can’t even move my right arm. I’m hoping that I will stop hurting because I was really starting to get comfortable with the rolls I was practicing. As for YOU, WOW! you’re really sounding great! I hope I can be just a fraction as good as you at my 60 day point. Providing God will heal up this awful shoulder pain and injury. Congratulations! You are a very determined person. I see this video is dated 2 years ago. Could you possibly make a video of your current banjo skills? I would really like to see your skills now. I hope you stuck with the banjo over the past 2 years. Thanks for making these great videos.

    Would have been more impressive if it were actually footage of you learning. It is however a same day video with a few changes of clothes and a couple things moved around in frame to give the appearance of a “different day”. Notice the items within the room. A few “obviously noticeable” items were moved around, while other “not so noticeable” items seem to stay in the exact location for nearly 4 weeks. Items that would move don’t, and a few items that have no reason to be moved do.

      wow... just a buzz kill having to point out flaws and be bummer? regardless of how or why... still fun, helpful and informative for most people. What's your specialty? Unless you're a hacker with proof of your allegations of same day video give the guy a break. items moving or not is hardly relevant to anything... maybe he's so passionate about learning his banjo and/or just busy in general that his environment hardly changes... regardless your review has no relevance for those of us wanting and looking to learn ourselves.... 🙄
