Ive been learning these licks on top of the 10 basic lessons plus Cripple Creek Expansion pack as well as the 7 back up lessons and it is unbelievable how much material a new player can put together in their foundation skill set. 30 years ago I tried banjo from a well know methodology book and got to grade 3. In the 3 months or so Ive been doing this I am so far ahead of that its amazing. Jim you make it really fun to learn but your style gets results for learners like me. Love it and thanks from us "visual " learners!

Thank you so much Jim. I truly appreciate these videos

[@Daves5wire]

Thanks Jim for the effort you put into these videos. For me,The more back up stuff you can do the better Thanks again Ive had a lot of fun with your videos

[@marksmith5811]

Fantastic. Thanks Jim, for doing this expansion pack. These scale runs will fit anywhere you have room for them. Thanks also for showing the demo of them with the vamping. This is a great companion to Bill Evans Licks-ercises! You have my work cut out for me now!

Many thanks Jim I have been working on the white horses lick for a long time, you have made it a lot easier to play for me👍

I appreciates you Jim, I started with the first ten lessons, pushed thru the fingertip discomfort & now on to some other lessons.

Thank you for this video! Really enjoyed it!

[@brazilhead]

And yet another great lesson Jim. Thanks so much!

This is great information and presentation. Thank you!

Good stuff, thank you been looking for those licks. My favorite part of Scruggs was his backup stuff, be bop backup dittie licks. Thanks for that, appreciate ya.

[@adamlevinson7739]

Such seemingly complicated stuff but the video makes it super clear and simple! Thanks for your teaching videos!

[@stevepawluk4129]

These are great fun! I'm probably annoying my wife and neighbors by practicing them so much, but they are quite handy and wonderful practice. I'm also finding that, if one plays the first two licks a bit slower, and adjusts the timing just a little bit, one can play several blues tunes on the banjo as well. Excellent bonus! Thanks!!

Hi: I play pedal steel and guitar, bought a Deering Eagle II seven years ago, brought it home and left it in the case until October 2023. Viewed you video and thought maybe I would set it up and give it a go. Better late than never I guess.

Hi Jim- thanks much! You are turning a git-tar player into a banjo player.

[@tomference4618]

[@daveandrews6670]

Thanks Jim for more Scruggs & other licks.i,v always herd them but didn't no what they were.these are beauties your the best your a real character

[@Beacharon1]

Thanks, Jim. I'm a long-time banjo player who still benefitted from your three links. The second one is real handy in playing Fairwell Blues in C up the neck. I plan to use it. Great instruction and easy to understand. All that's needed is practice and that's the way it needs to be. Don't think I can make my thumb fret that fifth string, but that's my problem. Thanks again.
