Bluegrass Banjo - Forward Roll - In Depth Lesson 

Hi DA, I am a novice and think calling out the string numbers would help people like me to pick up these different roles.

I picked up a banjo Feb 16 and your lessons are out standing. Especially teaching the simpler ways and breaking every thing down . Ii am 59 and never played but your lessons have me hooked thank you..

This is what I've been looking for as a beginner

I'm English living in Cyprus and your lesson is the bees knees mate. Cheers!!

What a great lesson. I've just bought a Banjo and this makes sense of banjo picking. ( as compared to my previous experience on guitar.) Thank you. Subscribed. 👍🏻🇬🇧

Beginner player and struggling as well, I can relate to your teaching better than most online lessons, thanks..

I’m a beginner at banjo . I appreciate your lessons

It seems your fingers lag the string sounding on RU-vid video, but got the concept, thanks.

Thank you this really helped me a lot I just wasnt getting the timing right!

great lesson - been wanting to learn. Bought a banjo over a year ago and can't get past the note reading and melodies like "Mary had a little Lamb". Rolls and real bluegrass songs are what I was looking for! Glad I stumbled onto your channel

You deserve more subs bro.

Great job! I really appreciate your focus on which fingers pick which notes AND that you included that in your tab (something that others don't do). This has given me a number of "drills" to practice over and over, slowly increasing the speed. Once I get that down I'll change chords as I practice these drills, especially while practicing the thumb lead on different strings; that will allow me to accent the root of each new chord. Thanks again.

thx counting 1&2&3&4& really helps

So excellent! Ty!

EXCELLENT VIDEO

Thank you so much.

i like you explain the WHY using the roll and time concepts!! n1

good stuff! Ive been weak on my forward rolls. thanks BTW how is that bridge working for you? Brand?

3251 roll

Thanks:

Nice lesson, except the video lags an eighth note behind the audio -- kind of confusing.

What make and model banjo is that??

Are melody lines generally played over the square/alternate roll rather than the forward roll?

A metronome is ur best friend to keep from loping the rolls.

I didn't know Captain Obvious played the banjo

Where are the in depth rolls you spoke of on your site?

A nice lesson which, as a beginner, would have taught me a lot, except for the fact that the sound does not correspond with the finger/ thumb movements. Rather off putting
