A big thank you to you, Joe. Now I understand why my 1st string is buzzing. Will hv to fix that before my nxt practice tomorrow. Past midnight here where I am.
That's a really useful video, as I - a total beginner - need all the help I can get (getting a S/H instrument for my son's 18th - and I guess I'll be doing his maintenance). Excellent work ... and do you also have video of playing pieces through? Many thanks from the UK.
Joe, If I get distorted kind of sound (not fret buzz) on the low side, is that coming from the treble side of the head? Almost sounds like a fuzz box. Is the treble side too loose? Thks Jimmy.
So... Joe. I have a single truss. What I did was to observe your instruction again and then figured out the limitations of a single truss. Also how to set the banjo since the inner ring is set up differently, whereas the tension rod slides up or down in a wider oblong hole. OK... I liked your video, and your music I have heard on TH-cam. Thanks for the guidance. L.
@@banjojoeanddanielle Someone commented and said banjo Joe died ? Another banjo Joe did die, he was 96 when he died in 1979. He was not a white guy with red hair..😊 Is this banjo Joe with bushy beard still alive
hey Joe the lateral angle of the neck is off (not the action but side to side) is the tail piece incorrect or the neck out of alignment and how to adjust? I thought I could shim where the neck meets the pot, is this a no no and is this a common problem?
Could be the tail piece needs adjustment. The neck should be adjustable that way as well to get the strings to line up parallel to the fret board. Just have to loosen it and move it slightly. It may take a few times to get it where you want it.
@@banjojoeanddanielle thanks I think the cheap tail piece was pushing the strings off the fretboard in the higher register, also my bridge may have been too wide, I'm really a classical guitar and lute player so you can imagine how narrow a banjo neck feels to me!
also I did loosen the rod (it's a 200 buck washburn) and tried to reset the neck . there is a phillips head screw in the heal of the neck is that something I can adjust?
This really helped me fix my buzzing sound. Much appreciated
Now he's playing it in heaven
You just earned yourself a sub Mr. Banjo Joe!!

You’re very welcome.
Good information
Thanks!
Thanks, great explanation and easily understood
Thank you for watching.
Thanks, this is great! Probably gonna have to do the same thing to my Epiphone banjo and this will help immensely. I'll try not to bust the neck, lol!
Thanks Bart! Mine plays and sounds a lot better. Go easy on it!
Do both rods have to be lose to adjust the action? Or just the loweste one.

Banjo Joe... I know that... but my backup has a single truss... and its giving me a fit. May use the backup for target practice this fall.
😂 that should fix it! Make sure and get it on video, it may be satisfying to watch for some people. Lol

Thanks chicken willie!
