I'm quite certain that theres multiple ways of tuning a banjo and with each unique tuning, comes with it's own style. Like Iridh, Celtic, bluegrass. Ect.
For a while I was stuck on deciding what instrument to learn, and once I found your channel I decided on the banjo. Thanks for showing how awesome the banjo is
Was never much of a bluegrass fan…that is, until I retired and started teaching myself to play the banjo a little over 1 year ago. It’s been simultaneously the most exhilarating and humbling experience of my life - listening to your mesmerizing renditions of the stuff I’m still trying to master is like a shot of adrenaline! Gotta go and practice more now!
You're so right. While I was watching, I kept thinking what's more famous than this one? And I was like, ohhhh yeah, forgot about those! Lol kept getting "famouser" 😂
Just got my first banjo yesterday. I'm going to try to learn those 5 songs over the next year. I've been playing guitar for 50 years. Thanks for the videos.
Loved hearing rocky top on the banjo. I went to school at UT Knoxville. I'm taking up the banjo to learn right now and this will be a song I will learn.
When I first went to UTK, the tour guide said I needed to know Rocky Top to go here. My family’s from Tennessee, so my dad said “If you live in Tennessee and don’t know Rocky Top, you need to get slappped!” 😂
Hi Mason, i just inherited a banjo and thanks to your enthusiasm for the instrument i am taking u tube lessons off you and Eli Gilbert and love love it. In Australia we don't have much bluegrass but i am hoping to give my playing the Aussie Twang, and i guess i will document my learnings as i go. Thanks for the inspiration!
Man that's some good fast pickin! I was looking for banjo music and when you did Foggy Mountain Breakdown I had to follow. I'm thinking about getting a banjo. My dad passed recently and we listened to bluegrass together and I'd like to give it a try.
Clean and effortless. I didn't know a 5 string could put out notes so fast I had to make sure TH-cam wasn't playing at 2X. Smoke coming out of your resonator from that fast pickin. If you aren't a professional you should be cuz you got talent.
I love this!! I am learning and playing piano now, but I would love to play a stringed instrument like the banjo in the future. As a singer, I would love to have something portable I can sing with :)
Are there certain keys (ex. key of G, etc.) that a banjo will sound its best in, maybe because of its strings, register, tuning, etc.? Kindly bear the basic curiosity. 😊
I love this! You are very talented! I have learned a lot from your videos. I have an old 1960's Chicago Harmony Banjo, I can play a little on it. How are you able to pick so fast without mistakes?
Like to see you play with billy strings. You are excellent!! Hm let me guess the songs Cripple Creek Foggy Mountain Breakdown Rocky Top Dueling Banjos Rocky Top Dueling Banjos Beverly Hillbillies
Wow. There's not very much you can do with a banjo. It's all pretty much the same tune. Dissapointing
Judging an entire genre (actually multiple genres) of music by only 5 examples... They're different, you just can't hear it apparently 😂
My man pinned this poor dude just to roast him lmaooo@@MasonCroneMusic

I too have a mental deficiency.
I’m sorry that you’ve never heard of Béla Fleck

THANK U
First one always makes me cry
They forgot the main theme of banjo-Kazooie!!!
For a while I was stuck on deciding what instrument to learn, and once I found your channel I decided on the banjo. Thanks for showing how awesome the banjo is
That's awesome, thanks for watching!
Hey man, I’ve been trying to decide what I want to learn to play, and between this and a harmonica, I’ve found my stride thank you.
How's the journey going mate?
@@andreim5973And what instrument is that, violin?!
Learn them all

Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck on your banjo journey
I accidentally played this on 1.75 and was like Holy crap my dude can shred
You're so right. While I was watching, I kept thinking what's more famous than this one? And I was like, ohhhh yeah, forgot about those! Lol kept getting "famouser" 😂
I ain't apologizing for my on purpose incorrect Grammer.
Haha, I tried to base it off of which ones are most well known among people who may not even like bluegrass
Bluegrass rocks. Us southerners love it.
I kept thinking Dixie as 1 but yeah that's up there too
I was waiting for Shucking the Corn or Soldiers Joy.
Just got my first banjo yesterday. I'm going to try to learn those 5 songs over the next year. I've been playing guitar for 50 years. Thanks for the videos.
That's awesome!
That is wonderful. My two year old grandson was captivated and is now a banjo fan! Very talented and well done!
Haha, that's awesome. Thanks!
I listen to your videos everyday. As a country fella, you make me so home-sick. You're playing is awesome and it makes my day. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Oooh I love playing the Ballad of Jed Clampett!
One of the first songs I learned on the banjo.
Some of those licks had me 🤯
I have to say thanks from Brazil!!! I've learned banjo with you man!!
Loved hearing rocky top on the banjo. I went to school at UT Knoxville. I'm taking up the banjo to learn right now and this will be a song I will learn.

Love the banjo with the woods in the background. Reminds me of back in the the Tennessee woods. 🌲 🪕
It is banjo lovers of today like you that keep the heritage going of an art that has been fading out. More videos....!...!
#1 the song from that movie
#2 The deliverance song
#3 O brother where art thou
#4 Beverly hillbillies
#5 that's a nice guitar you have!
😂

The banjo sounds really GREAT when accompanied with other instruments. (The Kingston Trio for example).
Thank you brother. I just discovered your channel. Its such a timeless spiritual sound !
you are kicking butt you put a smile on my face thanks
You're an excellent player. I like your pull offs, hammer ons, and melodic runs in there. Keep posting.
Thanks!
After 40 years of loving it. Finally picked one up
Amazing talent! Hoping to play like this one day!
you play it really well !
Excellent performance man.
Awesome job Mason! I just ordered my first banjo. About to be diving into all of this!
Awesome, have fun!
Dang Mason. I had to double check that my speed wasn't left on 2x from the last video. Super clean!
Thanks!
Howdy 🤠 from coastal Mississippi. I am Cajun, and yes there are many ways of playing a banjo 🪕. Very good sir, l enjoy your music 🎉
Just waiting for a cut-away of the General Lee being chased by the Beverly Hillbillies. 😁🤣
Yeeeee Haaaaaa! Oil that is!
I'm just picking up the banjo and I'm flabbergasted by your skill!
Thanks 😄
Foggy mountain’s my favorite 🤩 hope to learn someday if i get my hands on a banjo
Great job Mason, they all sounded brilliant...and fast ! That wallpaper behind you looks so realistic, glad the vibration didn't make it peel 👍🏻🌳🪕😂
Thanks!
is nobody gotta tell him he's actually in the forest
Clean and effortless. I didn't know a 5 string could put out notes so fast I had to make sure TH-cam wasn't playing at 2X. Smoke coming out of your resonator from that fast pickin. If you aren't a professional you should be cuz you got talent.
Love to see youngens playing music.

Are there certain keys (ex. key of G, etc.) that a banjo will sound its best in, maybe because of its strings, register, tuning, etc.? Kindly bear the basic curiosity. 😊
Thanks so much for the donation! Bluegrass banjo certainly is easiest in G. But pro players sound great in any key.
This is amazing!! You are crazy talented!!
Thank you!
Oh wow! Shared!
I wish I could afford a Nechville Photon. It's a beautiful instrument.
Wow you're awesome with the banjo great great
