- Here is banjo lesson #2. Take your time with this and work that alternating clawhammer stroke. I hope you enjoy these free lessons!
UPDATE - 8/22 - After years of making 100% FREE lessons, I gotta start bringing in some money at some point. This is how I make my living. So you won’t find Lessons 3-8 here anymore. I do hope you understand. These are all included in my website with lot’s more as well. - head over to www.banjolemon...
For lessons 3-8 (and hundreds more, with full courses, tabs, videos) - banjolemonade.com
You should change the title of this lesson to “Hey Everyone-This is the clawhammer you need to watch on TH-cam”. I think I have seen every clawhammer lesson out there and most people are terrible teachers (not intentionally). You do an excellent job-thank you.
Thank you so much! I do my best to give the kind of information I would have liked to have had.
100%. And they get tons of views. Crazy?!
This is what we need!
Awesome as always my day start with sweepin arpeggios on my banjo just kiddin thanks for youre lessons keep it up
I've played Scruggs style for years as for some reason I always found clawhammer a bit confusing, however with these lessons I feel I might actually be getting somewhere.
I do really enjoy your videos Mandy. The huge difference between yours and everyone else's it your straight to the point. Really simple to understand.
The big turn off for others is they want to show off there playing when its not needed
She is really hitting those single strings cleanly. I’m getting better, but that’s what I need to work on. I also like her suggestion of hitting alternative single strings such as 3rd and 4th and 3rd and 2nd, at least that’s what I remember, but what ever they are it adds some much needed variety to the claw hammer style.
Hi Mandy, Really enjoying your lessons and subtle humor. You really know how to break it down and make it easy to understand. "Relax and have fun" is missing from so many learning experiences. Hope I cross paths with you one day so I can thank you in person.
Yep - relax and enjoy the journey! That’s the most important thing. Have fun!
great lessons
Mandy, I've been playing banjo for quite some time now and I have to say, you amaze me on how easy you make this look for beginners. My only regret would-be, that I didn't start with you to begin with. The struggle with learning the banjo for myself was, that I didn't learn a good foundation to begin with. Similar to what you're teaching now would've, put me on the right track in the first place. I continue to follow you with the hope of strengthening my banjo playing, " just in case I'm still missing something." Fantastic video lessons!
Hey Karen, thank you so much! You are doing wonderfully, I don’t think you are missing a thing.
Thank you for these videos, these are a big help to me.
Hi many I'm a 59yr old from the rainy old UK I love the banjo tried bluegrass picking some years ago but couldn't do it, saw your lessons on utube now I'm making good progress, thanks for the easy approach to the lessons. Having fun again, thank you
Thanks Alan
Mandy, great great foundation as usual! Wish I had found you earlier, but it seems to me that however competent any player gets (and I've some way to go!), it pays to go back to basics time and time again. It must be right that practice is never wasted as long as you are practising the right thing the right way and you really do give good guidance
Thank you Martin!
Yea, that’s a good point about not needing to show off their playing while teaching. I just find their virtuosity discouraging compared to my lack thereof.
"You should have already practiced this a lot" 😂😂😂 I'm sure I've been driving my family mad for hours upon hours the last few days
hahah well - you can mute your banjo down and or play outside! That would probably help lol
Hey, thank you so much for your lessons! So far I am finding it easier to curl up all my fingers into my palm just leaving the index and thumb in the shape of a claw if that makes sense? Is this acceptable or is this a bad habit? I come from guitar so maybe this is why it feels more natural to be? Either way I would appreciate your advice! Thanks again, looking forward to part 3!
Thankyou,I’m abit impatience, so let’s go, Stray1 Britain’s best Unknown stuntman that never was,
Thank you so very much for these beginner lessons. I'm starting from scratch.
Your welcome Rachel, there’s more to come!
I'm finally starting your lessons with my new Pisgah custom banjo in my hands--so excited and scared :-)
wow - have fun!
I'm having trouble understanding the single note part of the pattern... Example: If a song has a certain type of rhythm, Do you play that rhythm/song with the single stroke lick and then add the brush, thumb in between regardless what the song is and how it sounds?
The pattern in the video is for 4/4 songs. There’s a different pattern for 3/4.
Mandy when you do the brush part of the claw hammer strum do you brush across the strings with one finger or two or three fingers?
I suggest you go back to lesson 1 and it’s explained there for you Judy.
Hi great lesson thanks! can understand alternating 3th and 4th, but are you alternating with 2nd as well please? or you hitting 2nd with thumb?
Hi Rachel, sorry but I do have tabs for everything on my website if anything is confusing or unclear. Blessings.
Having problem with the alternating 3and4 on lesson 2 do you strum 3and then 5 and then 4 and 5 or 3-strum and then 5 HELP!!
Are you a member at the website?
When I try and hit the non bottom strings I tend to accidentally mute the string, any advice? Thanks for the tut
If you are a member head over and ask in the forums. Advice - more practice.
I'm a little confused. No matter what string you hit on beat 3 do you still only brush on the bottum three strings?
yes
Theres a dog at 2:20 :>
Completely believe Jesus loves me, just not sure he’s real fond of me trying to learn to play banjo😁
He loves it, but I bet he approves of banjo mutes too 😉
Nice, relaxed lesons! What a shame you have to put your faith in there everytime; Jesus died a long time ago and doesn't love no more
Hey Allen thanks for watching. My faith is a huge part of me, there is nothing in my life more important. Jesus does love you and is waiting for you. Thanks for commenting.
@@BanjoLemonade I know you mean well, and I didn't mean to sound so attacking. Thanks for the lessons!
It’s fine Allen. Thank you for being polite. You are very welcome.
