- Banjo Joe shares his tips on banjo maintenance that keeps your banjo sounding the best! He adjusts the neck on his Epiphone 250 so that the fretboard is flush to the head. He shows the inside of the banjo and explains the coordinator rods and how they work. After he is all finished he has fixed the problem and the old epiphone is sounding good again.
Banjo Joe is a professional traveling entertainer and lover of freedom and nature and this is his show!

This really helped me fix my buzzing sound. Much appreciated
Shit that's going rite in my tool box! One day I might need to fix a banjo! Thanks I owe ya.
Hey, no problem! You never know...
Thanks for watching!
Now he's playing it in heaven
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.
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.
Thanks Clifford! Glad I could help. I’m not teaching banjo at this time, but thanks for asking.
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!
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.
You’re very welcome.
I got an old 5 string banjo from an elder lady. It is in need of a neck. It has the wooden rod across the back. ??????
That’s an oldie. I’ve never dealt with those.
That’s going to save a load of cash.. thank you kindly mr Banjo Jo..
Thanks, great explanation and easily understood
Thank you for watching.
Smoke much weed Joe? Lol. What ever it takes bro
You got it schmoopsey! 😘
Thanks brother banjo Joe my uncle play blue grass an rock an country music
Cool! Thanks Dave!✌️
Well done.
Thanks Mom!
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
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.
@@lawrenceflynn2490 Great! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Good information
Thanks!
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?
Not sure about the Washburn.
@@banjojoeanddanielle whatever I did has tweaked it the right way, also tightened the head, now I can practice christmas carols on the Jo, cheers
I was his roadie hook up the PA an ran sound
Thanks chicken willie!
His name was barney b Barnhart
Looks like, a good thing.
Good show
What brand banjo is that?
Epiphone.
Wow. Had no idea they made banjos. They made quality guitars at good prices.
Great tips! Thanks man!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. 👍

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
