Congratulations, you can play better than a beginner.

there may be hope for my claw after all

Thanks Trent, I have an SG too, had it for around 20 years now, I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but anyway thanks for the lesson.

Hey there trent thanks for this tutorial im just wondering why banjo songs are play so fast dough the sound great some waltz songs are lovely played maybe im just looking for excuses for my slow play still il get there eventually

Legend! Thank you so much!

Hi, Trent, I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a finger style arrangement of Bob Dylan's If You See Her ... Say Hello. This song is a real master class in song writing.

Not a real beginner somewhere in between

This is sweet song I'm a beginner but looking at the tab I think I could get away with playing the melody all the way through the song without the playing the intricates worth every nickel thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

I just love the way you sing and nice tutorial thank you

This was dope. Hell of a cover!

Awesome !!!

Very proud of you, my nephew my Dad would be very happy seeing you play his guitar keeping the traditions alive. Love you.

Pickin' and Grinnin'😀 ...

thanks! Enjoyed it. Trying to decide if I want to keep working on clawhammer or go back to Scruggs style

I don’t own an open back banjo; I have a cheap Oscar Schmidt resonator banjo. I tried Scruggs style but I like the Clawhammer sound much better. Can I learn on the Oscar Schmidt, or should I get a decent open back, like Deering Goodtime?

I dont know, Im thrown off when youre saying for the bum diddy youre striking the B? Are you accidentally referring to open G tuning? Cause it sure seems like the C string, second string up to me. Or are you speaking of notes? I guess Im just used to tabs referring to string # so the chords don't muddy the water. I like your arrangement cause I dont want to spike my banjo. Just a few spots Im not clear on.

Hey there trent thanks so .much for tutorial I think this is the first bump ditty song I've ever done you explain and show us what's to be done much obliged ❤❤❤❤

Good job dude! keep on pickin".....

That dark hallway analogy got weird and spooky

great explanation on the multiple tunings Trent. thanks so much, when i first started i was unsure what to do with the drone string in different tunings. i have finally started using my capo and playing more in double C and D. i had the G tunings and sawmill down, i just needed to expand my options for tunes.

Great lesson, I donated! Looking forward to digging into your other videos

I will be following you Tren. I have just started and have bad arthritis in my right hand and clawhammer seems the best method for me. Thanks

about a month into learning banjo, this song is the reason im learning. i will definitely say, skip notes are throwing me off LOL, this is gonna take some practice

It is always good manners to credit the person who actually wrote the song.

I live in Scotland and the ice cream van in my town plays this tune so it always gets stuck in my head. Thanks for the tutorial!

I’ve been looking for tabs to Karen Dalton’s version of this song, but I’m a terrible player by ear. Would you ever consider showing how to play this at her pace? 😊

This is beautiful thank you for the lesson I listen to this all the time

great job Trent. i have played clawhammer a bit over a year.....you do a great job explaining things for beginners, keep the videos coming!!

Would like to see a video of you playing with a group of musicians! Some of these old tyme songs !

That bango sounds so old plantation era ... I also love the delta blues ever herd of a song called Crow Jane, Skip James does a mean rendition.

Hi Trent, Love this song !!! Maybe someday you can do this on the guitar.😀

Keep the Steve Martin songs coming! He’s the reason i recently starting playing the banjo coming from a guitar player of nearly 30 years

I was just wondering if you had uploaded recently! I really appreciate these videos, your video lesson for 'the great remember' was the first banjo tune I learnt to play fairly recently, thanks!

Great lesson, hope there are many more to come

It's funny how it's harder to play slower than faster (only because you're so used to playing at normal speed). Also, it helps to just watch your right hand to see which fingers are playing what.

I’m rereading the two towers right now for the 4th or 5th time.

This is not a beginner song. New people just learning how to play a guitar should become familiar with music in someway. Either learning how to read music and tab I myself read both note and tab. I am very familiar with the fingerboard of a guitar. I have been playing since 1974, and I went and think of teaching this to a new student. It takes time the brain says one thing in the finger say I can’t do it you have to start from scratch you don’t jump from the fire into the frying pan. This is why students give up then quit playing because they’re playing things that are too difficult for them, and they don’t know nothing about music, so they’re walking into something blindfolded that they don’t know nothing about it’s like putting a student in a real airplane and saying here takeoff and landed. And that’s what you’re doing with the guitar. Some are not ready for this one. This was a song I learned later on as a guitar player now I am really learning it and playing it finger style guitar like Chad Atkins did. It’s a difficult piece of music. There’s nothing simple about it all you students. Good luck with this one. Have a great day.😁😁🎸

Good stuff, thanks for the video

You play on the neck. Some play down lower. What is the deal?

Bonjour je ne trouve pas la tablature de votre excellent exercice où se trouve t- elle ? Bravo pour vos explications jean pierre

Missed a few notes didn,t you.

Was looking for a good tutorial on this for a long ass fucking time, finally found one, thanks

Nice banjo! Please describe its age,make, and serial number. Just kidding. I would love to know it’s year and make,however. Love the tune indeed

I thought Doc did it in G shape. But after playing around with it in C shape, I get it.

nice!!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us! It's a very moving wonderful song and this is the first video I've seen that would give us some insight and inspiration to learn how to play it!

A banjo player had an important meeting on the way to a gig. It was across town and in a high crime neighborhood. Problem was, he couldn't take his banjo into the meeting and would have to leave it in the car. He was very worried and could only find parking in a dark secluded alley. He parked, left the banjo in his carefully locked car and went to the meeting. Sure enough, when he came out, the car had obviously been broken into and he found that five more banjos had been left in the back seat next to his!

A bit less talking would be appreciated.

Is the TAB dffor the whole Lesson? Great lesson enjoyed it a lot
