3 Essential Rolls for Beginner Banjo Players 

After 30 years of guitar, now a banjo. What great videos. The tranquility and the clear explanation in combination with the images, I am very happy with it! Thank you Mason for your great lessons! Greetings from the Netherlands

I got my first banjo yesterday and I’ve just spent the last like 6 hours practicing the first roll😂

I was over complicating these. The way you explained it clicked in my mind. 🎉

You can make up your own rolls as long as they are in time. Here is a nice inside roll 4,2,3,4,1,2,3,1 Sound really good with a G chord and an E minor chord

ive been thinking about learning banjo for a while, bout 3-4 months. most banjo guides ive seen are all in some fancy studio or somthin along those lines, but then i come across your channel and it feels like your a buddy showing me in the side yard. its a lot more comfortable, plus the way you teach and take the time to explain is real easy to follow, i think im gonna head into town tomorrow before work and actually pick one up. thank you for showing and ill watch your guides and keep along

THank you!!! I fingerpick guitar, and "banjo rolls" freaked me out. HOWEVER, you explained clearly and slowly, and now i know: its like fingerpicking!! Muscle memory will get me through, this is great.....

Great to see you two together. Interesting video. I changed for a heavier head, a decent bridge and got my washburn B9 professionally set up. Made an incredible difference. Doesn't stop me wanting more banjos though....meant to post this on the video you did with Mr Pankey.....

Cheers mate! ❤

Thanks a lot! This made a lot of sense.

You're a great teacher! Thanks 😊

Awesome

Im just startet, thank you for teaching!

Thank you, friend.

Great teaching video! And love hearing the chickens in the background! Thanks!

You are Awesome thanks thanks!!!

Bought my banjo yesterday. Will ship tomorrow. This is the hard part. Practice practice practice.

You just made something click for me! You said the rolls are the sequence of your fingers not the strings. I don't know why I didn't realize that sooner. Now maybe I can get a little better. Thanks!

Great video! I'll have to come back when I finally get a banjo 😄

Great

getting a banjo this week and im excited (im an intermediate guitar player but it seems like a new challenge)

Nice one Mason👍🏻🪕. I made up a roll this morning, it had cheese and pickle in it😂

Suggestion: start the video with the dream. Play all the rolls nice and fast at the start of the video before you start speaking. And then we know what we're aiming for. I'm about 2 minutes in and still haven't heard any of the rolls played properly! Thanks, great content.

This was helpful, thanks pal! I’ve also annoyed the bajeezus out of my family, win win :P

Im laughing , this popped upsgain snd I said ...why not. Your such a pleasant person in your presentations its a telief grom the vircus I lie in.

Mason, thank you young man 🎅🤠🙏Have loved the sound and history of banjos and even being an old man, want to try. I have a 12 string Alvarez acoustic I haven't applied myself to. Didn't start young enough or dedicated myself enough. I preach the shame is not being willing to learn things, perhaps I'll follow my own advice. Your rolls for 3-4 strings I get, 5 or so will take perseverance when I find a banjo, I love their sound as well as the 12 string Alvarez and can it be used for rolls until I get a banjo?God bless you and thank you Sir 🎅🤠🙏

Rolls?? Man I love rolls!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

How did you get a granada inlay,without the first fret inlay,I don't see one like that on their website,that's also my preference.

Hey young man you ever heard of John prine check it out, he's half the musician you are he may be dead now but if you could do anything like John prine you got it going on❤

Not really related to this video, but do you have any tips for avoiding accidentally muting other strings while trying to play notes with my left hand? I have seen a lot of videos saying to arch my fingers more but it starts to hurt my fingertips fast when I do it like that.

Mason, any relation to Royce Crone in N.Dak?

You’ll use your thumb to pick down on the top three strings pointer finger 4 string middle finger on the bottom string 5 th string

Hi, I'm a beginner banjo player. Please tell me what rolls are available for an Irish 4-string banjo?

Love the back ground is that your back yard or far in to the woods?

If you get a cheap banjo get a good tone ring put on that’s what I did for my

Have you ever used a metronome to help with smoothness and accuracy

How to were the finger picks

I can never find some easy rolls for a 4 string banjo ): (mine has 4 strings, it's called a banjolele?)

Romans 10:9 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:36 KJV He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 17:3 KJV And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Sorry son you need to be in a recording studio.
