Thanks for the different angle and lighting that shows which strings you're actually hitting. Most videos I've come across are lit in such a way as to make it hard to see what's actually going on.
That little quote ya said about, if you can do that ya cooking! Goes very far ! Thanks again for this lesson, on behalf of all the banjo warriors out there, thank you, Stray1 britians best unknown stuntman that never was,
After watching this i found a new appreciation for banjo AND solfeggio. Awkward without a metronome but helpful. I get what you were trying to do with a play along type approach. Singing with the pattern in solfeggio really helped me grasp the same concepts I was trying to solidify with other videos. Cheers!
thanks for the vid. even seasoned composers need help understanding how different instruments are played according to their tunings and ranges. these are very helpful.
I once tried to learn this and the only roll that got stuck is the last one in the video :) The only one I use while picking (besides homemade stuff). Then I found clawhammer and was hooked! This gives me inspiration to try and learn some basic bluegrass again! Would really be fun to be able to play a few tunes as they should be played! Besides the poor version of foggy mountain breakdown I managed to learn lol:)
Not everyone does it, but it is recommended basically because early banjo players did it and it's just sort of become something you do. The same is true of the three finger playing style. The "rolls" that became popular with Earl Scruggs and other early bluegrass players used three fingers rather than the 5 finger classical guitar style, so that is the pattern you see in all the tablature for playing.
ive started to kearn banjo and woyld like to ask is the trick to getting the coordination down right just a matter of shear repitition it seems very difficult at first
Thanks for this video....How many picking patterns are there? For example, playing the song Cripple Creek, how many picking patterns are there in that song. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks, 5 Stars
Can somebody please explain to me the use of anchering your last 2 finger. i had played classical guitar for 5 years and was taught never to ancher at all. also why dont banjoist you use the 3rd finger while playing banjo.
Anchoring the two fingers on the head gives the picking fingers more power during picking ; other wise, the picking fingers would "float" over the strings - losing volume .
hi guys.. can someone write down the patters on the comments.. eg. string 5-1-4-1-5-1-4-1.. Thank you.. i can't see what strings he is picking exactly.
This is what is looked like to me, not sure if its accurate Basic strum 3 125 4 125 Double thumb roll 3 2 5 1 4 2 5 1 Forward and reverse roll 3 2 1 5 1 2 3 1 Forward roll 2 - 5 2 1 5 2 1
yeah, I tend to agree. Video missing the string numbers. His forward roll has a pause in it, all sixteenth notes with one eighth note. needs to be all the same count in order to keep the banjo driving else it has a weird syncopation. See Earl's book page 86.

Thanks John! This is a very informative video. I just bought a banjo a few days ago! I am 63 and so hope I can learn to play it.

This is helpful to me as I am learning three finger banjo. I like your style of teaching.

What roll would you use for " I'll fly away "?

@mastermindweird You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Most awkward lesson video ever.
