My grandpa was the best banjo player I’ve ever met. He had the finger picks and multiple high-quality banjos. It was so awesome to listen to him play when I was little.
Roscoe Holcomb, Grandpa Jones, Dave Macon, string bean, Pete Seeger, frank Proffitt and tons of others. Bluegrass is not the only music played on the banjo 🪕
i am a Kentucky native, and i hate to break it to ya feller, there's been a few well-known banjo pickers from these parts, and parts nearby, lol so yain't gonna be the first professional banjo picker. Appalachia birthed bluegrass music, it's a special place! one of a kind
When I first started learning the banjo I was at a complete loss. I’m so glad I kept with it though because it is such a beautiful instrument. My family is from Tennessee so I love doing Appalachian folk music
As a self taught banjo player i can confirm this is 100% accurate, also try nylgut banjo strings they are wayyy easier on the fingers and sound classical
There's actually a lot of pros, banjos and/or mandolins are used in a few Celtic punk bands, and a lot of Irish Trad or Irish folk bands. The Dubliners are The High Kings off the top of my head had banjos
I did this same shit like 10 years ago lmao thought I was gonna be hot shit and do a banjo intro to a thrash metal song and I could NEVER play the sound that I had in my head. That banjo just kinda hangs on the wall to this day. Rarely played lol
You haven’t heard of Earl Scruggs, JD Crowe, Don Stover, John farmer, Rick Rimen, Sunny Osborne, myself, Doug Dillard, Eddie Hoyle, Don Reno that’s ten and if you don’t count me as a pro than here’s one more Randy Scruggs. And even though Randy did mostly guitar stuff he was a Pro at banjo too.
The second I heard the banjo noise my first thought was “BOSUN BILL WAS KNOW THROUGHOUT THE PORT, A TRULY DREADFUL PIRATE WHO WAS ALWAYS GETTING CAUGHT”
She’s fantastic but clawhammer style kinda limits her ability in my opinion EDIT: brainfart, I somehow thought you were talking about Abigail Washburn. Was a long day haha
@@canadianguitarguru sorry I had a complete brainfart, I was recently watching a bunch of videos with him and Abigail Washburn and just got done playing for Playing for hours so I somehow my brain thought you were talking about her lol - your correct tho, he is absolutely the best in the world in my opinion, on the technical playing side of things - I have few others that I really just like their style tho but that personal preference
Steve Martin is the only professional banjo player i've heard of. he learned it because he thought it was the funniest instrument, and he's world class at it
My dad and his brothers have played banjo for almost their whole lives since they were in their teens to now, 50/s and 60s. I grew up hearing it all the time and it can be beautiful and annoying at times but always such an interesting instrument
As someone who literally GREW UP in West Virginia. This made me laugh. The hot topic thing. 😂 I'm about to take up Banjo myself. Want to get more connected to my Appalacian roots. Since I live out west now.
Look up Bill Monroe Ricky scaggs and Lamb of God for all your west Virginia banjo needs but honestly banjo is actually a really versatile instrument I've used them in thrash songs I've written before and the Celtic sound goes hand in hand with that
hello! i just wanted to tell you thta Jesus loves you so much! we are born sinful and Jesus died for us so we could have eternal life!!! and all we have to do is repent of our sins, beleive that Jesus really did die, and rose from the dead, and ask Him to come into our hearts!! beacouse if we dont get saved, we will spend eternity in hell. but i love you and everyone in this world and i want you and everyone to go to Heaven with me!!! hope you a great day! i love you and so does Jesus!!!
That there is an open back banjo which is usually used in oldtime rather than bluegrass. You should learn a bit of clawhammer. I’d recommend little sadie since the tuning makes it really easy
As for someone who has been playing classical and electric gitar ever cince 2022 Xmas and 16 year old I shall give you tips... Tip1 when you play, your fingertips will get dinted ans will feel like there bruised, do not worry youre fingies will get used to it. Tip2, before you play stretch youre fingers apart to warm them up. Tip3, start playing something easy like the start of hells comin with me. Go slow then once you get the gist of it, progressively speed up(there are tutorials on how to play it) Hope this helps❤
To any string players, sometimes a little of super glue, the one that doesn't burn your skin, may help until you get callouses, so the string doesn't hurt as much the pads of your fingers, just make sure to don't glue your fingers to anything
That part where he was searching for a tutorial and bored of the guy talking about himself but me:bruh can you please get straight to the point.Super relatable i see every Toturial do this maybe
Damn this guy is getting a lot of instruments recently
Whats an instrument
He said that he finds them in the trash.

That's so great that you have that memory, all kids seem to love the banjo
Who was he John Hartford

My gramma played and was pretty good.
It's the face he makes when lookin at TH-cam tutorials 😂 cracks me up everytime bro
Sameeee it's very relatable😂😂
It’s too accurate.
Lol
It's like he's watching the 19th video in a row about beginner banjo
"I don't know the names of any professional banjo players." May I introduce you to Kermit the frog.
Fr, I was waiting for him to play rainbow connection
Don’t forget Grandpa jones?
May I also introduce you to Banjo the Bear?
No one will know this, but when I think of banjo I think of Wander over Yonder.
@@mememan3447I was just about to comment about him
This guy is gonna have the biggest instrument collection
Im honesrly scared for it
someone hasnt heard of instrumentmaniac
You underestimate the power of the darkside that is adhd

I was waiting for Wonderwall in the end 😊

@enriqueamaya3883 i hate people that stuffs their own religion into others by force. Im atheist and thats final

That Eli Gilbert intro hit close to my heart. That was my first video after I got my banjo
the eli gilbert is too accurate 💀
Yep, we've all been there 😅
As a banjo man myself Ive been waiting for this video. You made us all in the banjo community happy
The expression watching music tutorials is so spot on
Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs both banjo professionals
Earl was the one who played for them
Don't forget bela fleck
Roscoe Holcomb, Grandpa Jones, Dave Macon, string bean, Pete Seeger, frank Proffitt and tons of others. Bluegrass is not the only music played on the banjo 🪕
Rhiannan Giddens, Roy Clark, mf uuuuh... idk the list goes on tho.
J.D Crowe. One of, if not the best five string banjo pickers to ever touch the instrument.

“All right so how do I play some hillbilly music “ got me laughing bro, u made my day, btw VMT is the biggest hillbilly
As a self taught banjo player i can confirm this is 100% accurate, also try nylgut banjo strings they are wayyy easier on the fingers and sound classical
Are the notes the same as on guitar? Like on the low E string it goes F G A B C D E
Just sat down to try learn some more riffs on electric guitar but saw u posted on discord so i just had to watch
There's actually a lot of pros, banjos and/or mandolins are used in a few Celtic punk bands, and a lot of Irish Trad or Irish folk bands. The Dubliners are The High Kings off the top of my head had banjos
Glad to see every string instrument has its own form of marty schwartz 💀
The banjo is the best sound of instruments in my opinion
He always looks so blank when he’s watching tutorials 😭😭
YEEHAW!!! 🤠🌾🐄🦃🐖🐕🦌🐎🐐🐑🐓 DOWN HERE IN ‘BAMA, WE HAVE FIVE OF EM IN EACH OF OUR ROOMS!
AND IM FROM SOUTH ALABAMA, NOT THAT BIRMINGHAM CRAP!
I seriously doubt that you're actually from Alabama
I did this same shit like 10 years ago lmao thought I was gonna be hot shit and do a banjo intro to a thrash metal song and I could NEVER play the sound that I had in my head. That banjo just kinda hangs on the wall to this day. Rarely played lol
Well I was going to do the same or just play a banjo for fun, I think I know niw why there's never banjos at music stores
Your videos are great
The bridge installment is soooo real
You should try bouzouki!!
BANJOWALL
I LOVE THIS COMMENT

Steve Martin is a pretty good banjo player.
That’s what I’m saying
as a violist and violinist, those finger marks hit hard
“ Why is it not tuning! “ * Goes in tune a second later * 😂😂
Edit: Thanks For the Likes!
So true, that is every single music lesson on youtube
“Alright so how do æ play sum heel beely music on this👨🌾”
Ed Helms, now you know a professional banjo player
The Iron Maiden shirt goes crazy 💀
As a banjo player i agree also look up Mary-z-Cox
I'm surprised he didn't try to play Wonderwall this time
The second I heard the banjo noise my first thought was “BOSUN BILL WAS KNOW THROUGHOUT THE PORT, A TRULY DREADFUL PIRATE WHO WAS ALWAYS GETTING CAUGHT”
Bela Fleck is one of the best banjo players alive
She’s fantastic but clawhammer style kinda limits her ability in my opinion
EDIT: brainfart, I somehow thought you were talking about Abigail Washburn. Was a long day haha
@@knvernum...I would invite you to look up Bela Fleck, and then I would encourage you to delete your comment.

This is actually some good content. You have a lot packed in there.
He is gonna be the first professional bhanjod 😂
Thank you Clifton Hicks, I love you.
Play the red dead house building song! And ofc wonderwall
0:20 sounds like squid game
Respect for iron maide shirt
I like that when he watched the first video on banjo, you could still see a tiny bit of the bridge even though he hadn't installed it yet.
bros buying every instrument at the music store 💀
me as a banjo player thinks its so relatable him watching Eli Gilbert banjo but if you trying to learn banjo then Jim Pankey is the way to go
Surprised he didn’t play Wonderwall..
Play the weezer thing on the banjo
play wonderwall
TIMBRZEAL has some great space banjo stuff
Earl Scruggs is the best banjo player for bluegrass
Bluegrass ain't the only music that's played on the banjo though
@mikebastiat everything else is derivative and false nostalgia.
Steve Martin is the only professional banjo player i've heard of.
he learned it because he thought it was the funniest instrument, and he's world class at it
No Wonderwall?
Dude, I just got a banjo days ago and this is so on point 😂
He…..he….no!!!! way!!!! He didn’t play wonderwall!!!!!
NEXT VIF
Can’t wait for that vif
This truly is a banjo moment
Psychosocial Banjo cover
Ngl i wanna hear more of that little riff he did, like damn that was good
"Yeehaa"

Colton Crawford from the Dead South is one notable banjo player.
BANJOO WOOO

This is true
True, but I mean, bit out of place
Holy shit they actually make picks like that you can shred a guitar with those
u is annyojng as hell brodie

I am currently working through Eli Gilbert’s banjo lessons right now! Lol.
I want a banjo so badly. There so kool
As a banjo player I can relate to this
Yoo as a metal string guitar player I can feel those finger marks😂. Luckily you form callouses after a while.
“How do you hold this it keeps on falling oh shi-“ got me😂😂😂😂😂
the seriousness on his face whenever he's watching a video got me dying lmfao!
Earl Scruggs would be proud
Fr
Complete silence while he blankly stares at the video is so good
The incentive to Learn Banjo is definitely Show Me The Body 💪💪💪
The first thing you do after buying a banjo is learning the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy theme
I would recommend buying a tenor banjo and playing Irish jigs and reels before stepping up to blue grass.
As for someone who has been playing classical and electric gitar ever cince 2022 Xmas and 16 year old I shall give you tips...
Tip1 when you play, your fingertips will get dinted ans will feel like there bruised, do not worry youre fingies will get used to it.
Tip2, before you play stretch youre fingers apart to warm them up.
Tip3, start playing something easy like the start of hells comin with me. Go slow then once you get the gist of it, progressively speed up(there are tutorials on how to play it)
Hope this helps❤
should try a mandolin next. Also, "first pro banjo player"? Rhiannon Giddens and Bob Schmidt would like a word.
Congrats on 100k!!
Steve Martin is a banjo fiend. The finger indents are real! Badge of honor
“Why is it not tuning?” I literally broke string a week after I got my banjo because I was tuning the wrong one🤦♂️
To any string players, sometimes a little of super glue, the one that doesn't burn your skin, may help until you get callouses, so the string doesn't hurt as much the pads of your fingers, just make sure to don't glue your fingers to anything
Just saw the comments. You like instruments, a lot. Subscribed.
That’s a cool maiden shirt 👌
That part where he was searching for a tutorial and bored of the guy talking about himself but me:bruh can you please get straight to the point.Super relatable i see every Toturial do this maybe
ROY CLARK. Also one of the greatest gutar players.
For the next april fools, you should buy a devils fiddle
This dude can play every instrument
this is definitely one of my fav videos that u made.
That’s a nice banjo!
"Why's it not tuning! 😡" 😂😂 so real
The banjo is the instrument everybody knows about, but nobody talks about it
I personally would never play but i just love the sound it makes
