Holy cow finally someone explaining the very basic of starting to play thank you so much, JOHN. I have been playing guitar for quite some time. I’m more of a drummer than a jammer, but I finally bought a banjo and this is an awesome video again 1000 thank you man.
I like your attitude. I'm just picking up the banjo, and you are gonna be teaching it to me. I've tried to watch other RU-vid rs and they were annoying.
Your hair is too long! A fedora only looks good if you wear it the way Johnny Depp did in "Public Enemy" Ironically in real life Johnny is the poster boy for how NOT to wear a fedora!
I love your stuff man. I found you because back in the day I loved a band called Cast Iron Filter, who afaik coined the term "Irongrass" to describe their rock + tradgrass style. I still use the term myself, but almost no one understands what I mean. So I googled to see if anyone else is still embracing the name Irongrass, and here we are. You're amazing, dude.
Hello John, I have watched this video about 10 times. I always come back here if I catch myself of thinking that I need a 5000 grid stone. Your video always gets me back to the ground. Always a pleasure to see you sharpening. It seems to me that you use relatively high pressure on the strop. I have the Norton stone, but struggle a bit with stropping to razor sharp. Is the pressure you use on the strop the same as on the stones? Best Regards Matthias
You teach very well & detailed. You have links to songs. Excellent teaching and reference method. Been playing on & off for 40 years due to hand issues. So whether you are a beginner or an oldie that needs a refresher, Mr. Moore is great. Thank you you very much Mr. Moore & yall keep this music alive for future generations. Pick & Roll on :)
The bridge on mine looks nothing like yours. I am still new to the instrument, having only been playing for a few months. There is definitely a learning curve here. I shudder to think of changing the skin when the time comes. Keep on a-pickin' and a-grinnIn'.
I inherited one of these after my grandfather passed away its an old Gillette from the 1920s never used a safety razor in my life. Only used cartridge razors up to that point. I shaved with the safety and it gave the best damn shave I've ever had. Blew all cartridge razors out of the water needless to say I threw out All my disposable and cartridge razors and never looked back Safety razors are literally better in every way just takes a little practice
I'm fairly new to using a safety razor and have struggled to get a good lather, so this really helped. And as a Brit, I could listen to John's voice all day - beautiful smooth Southern accent!
