i listened to this a couple of years ago, and then revisited this week as i've been playing more jams and now have a band. this is unbelievably helpful: super clear info, taught methodically and simply. thanks so much.

Great advise from a great teacher-instructor, keeping it simple and not taking too much shine from the other instruments. Thanks Eli.

"If you still suck, don't learn new stuff to still suck at!" I sub'd just because you said that. Good advice!

Thank you

Perfect!

So glad I've kept at all this basic stuff for 5 or so years so that you could explain it to me in a way that helps it all make sense, as you have here and in some of your other videos! It's really starting to come together now. Thanks so much Eli!

Well....this could very well be the most useful tutorial banjo bluegrass video ever. So to the point and uncomplicated in a complicated way. Thank you for your excellent work. G

Came across the other Jim Mills lesson via your reddit post and although I didn’t know the tune, took a deep dive into learning it since it was basically the epitome of a bluegrass progression and banjo transitions. However, this is the explanation I needed to bring it all together. I think I’ve made more progression in the last week than I have in the last year of practicing. Thank you very much. Subscribed.

I really liked the application to real songs (with examples) at the end, and I’ll work on the application of these techniques to my own songs. Thanks Eli.
