Learn to Play Bluegrass Banjo - Lesson 4 

Please never stop making this videos, you are the best banjo teacher i've found,

That fact that you actually care about students you’ve never met is just awesome. You’ve already helped me tremendously. Thanks a million

Thanks for learning me to play, banjo Santa.

by the way i'm 71 years old and am really enjoying this,finally.

Jim, I bought a banjo about 10 years ago and struggled every time I tried to learn until now. Your lessons are excellent and within 2 weeks time of practicing for about an hour a day I am playing Cripple Creek! Yes, I’m playing slowly and with a few mistakes here and there, but light years ahead of where I was previously. Thank you for the awesome Christmas present of music!!

What can i say Jim, I'm actually hearing a tune coming and at 62 having never played anything before it's great and all thanks to you, thanks for the great videos.

This is a great series of videos which have really helped me engage with the banjo. The best part might be me walking around at work saying, “pinch, slide, pinch,1,2,5,2,1,5,1, pinch”

...and the cats are pretty fun to watch, too.

I can’t believe it. First I was shocked to being playing something that was even remotely melodic, from lesson 3. Now I’m basically playing an entire song!? Mind blown. All thanks to a teacher who posted RU-vid videos. Never played an acoustic in my life (played some violin as a teenager, that’s all). This one was a little tricky for me. Putting all the different parts together in sequence was really confusing. I used rewind and slow playback a lot.

Well Mr. Pankey, thank you. It has been literally four days since I picked a banjo up for the first time in my life and I am absolutely shocked to hear myself already playing cripple creek, and I have your teaching to thank. It came natural to me, been listening to bluegrass all my life and dreamed of playing the banjo, at 26 you are helping me realize that dream. Thanks again, I can't wait for the future.

I was laughing to myself when I nailed it ha. Brilliant thank you. My first tune on a banjo.

Jim is by far the best teacher on the internet. He takes things nice and slow and goes over it in a simple and understandable way.

Jim,At age 63 I just bought a banjo. I always wanted to play something in my life since I was younger. I am on your lesson 4 and starting to pick it up. I practice about 2 hours a night when I can and only had it for about a week now. I could of got lessons, but wanted to stay home and try and teach myself. With the help of your videos I hope you stay healthy and keep them coming. I really enjoy your teaching nice and slow. And the speed will come later. Thanks

Jim, I bought a banjo at a pawn shop and watched lesson 3-4 about 15 times. In one week never playing an instrument, I CAN play Cripple Creek. Thanks man.

I've been through a whole mess of youtube videos trying to find video lessons. Yours, sir, are by far the best! I'm already moving up the lesson list after only owning a banjo for a few short weeks. Taking a couple of days per video is really helping. Thank you for these Jim. =josh=

Jim, I have been so impressed with your teaching. I am 75 years old, had my banjo for many years and never learning to play a song until you taught me, Cripple Creek. You are the best. Would you please give me a link to Amazing Grace as you are teaching now. Simple is good. Thanking you again.

I'll start with, I'm 50. Played the Saxophone for 8 years growing up. High school graduation came and went and so did the Sax playing. Still have it though. I built an airplane that I aim to do some airplane camping with. That was a three year endeavor. What's better than a banjo to take out to the sticks around a campfire? With time on my hands now that the build is finished I figured an instrument would be a lot more rewarding than sitting in front of the TV. Anyhow, I watched these instructional videos and can relate to Jim's style I guess. He inspired me to the point of asking the girlfriend for a banjo for Christmas. I am learning from books that were included with the Banjo purchase but it gets boring. I come to Jim and I feel that learning is much more enjoyable with him. I laughed when I read someone compare Jim to Bob Ross. That is a huge compliment actually and I can't agree more. Thank You Jim!

These are great, Jim. A real treasure. I have had my banjo 2 weeks and it already sounds so cool! ☮

Jim, just found you on RU-vid yesterday. I am a pretty rank beginner but love your style of teaching. I worked on Lesson 3 yesterday and lesson 4 today. When you challenged us at the 8:50 mark on lesson 4 to play all the way thru I was still having a little difficulty. You have probably mentioned this to your students in the past but You Tube allows you to play at less than full speed by tapping on the three dots in the top right corner (on my iPad). This helped me a lot to be able to play along with you. I am a new subscriber. Thank you so much.

So far my favorite instructor ever. Ive played guitar well over 15 yrs now and picked up the banjo months ago. Im am grateful for discovering Jim's channel on the site and I love every lesson far. Simple, Easy to understand, and fun to listen to.

Thank you Jim. During this time of political craziness, wildfires, and pandemics you have brought a little (lot) of joy to my life. This has been such an awesome hobby to start and I can say it's thanks to your videos and encouragement. Just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are!

Back on track after a stroke Jim but now back on track. Playing on stage 4 and loving it and you. God bless you for all you do for people. Ger (originally from Ireland) now live in Auss.

I got my Poppop’s banjo a few years ago when my dad passed away and Its been calling me to pick it up. Just started watching these videos and it’s an awesome feeling to be able to play my first song. Thanks Jim.

Thank you so much for teaching. My dad passed away and his favorite instrument was the banjo. My husband bought me a banjo for Christmas and I’ve finally had the time to learn. You’ve made banjo very easy to understand. My daddy would be so proud of me.

I was probably about 9 when I got my first guitar. Messed around on it for a short while before I lost interest because I couldn't seem to figure it out. Got a drum set when I was about 13 and basically used it as anger management, never even attempting to learn it. I'm now 31 and after a short conversation with my dad months ago, about how interesting the history of the Banjo is. My dad surprised me with a Banjo for Christmas. I own a small retail shop and find myself with quite a bit of free time on slow days at the shop. I've brought my banjo to the shop every day since I've got it and have amazed myself at the progress I've made in such a short period of time and it's all thanks to you. I greatly appreciate your lessons on here. Thank you very much for these videos.

After many years of talkin about buying a banjo,I finally got one for Christmas from my kids.didnt think I'd even be able to play anything on it,but you Jim have saved the day,you are the best mate, thanks for sharing your expertise with all us wannabe pickers. Cheers mate

After watching a couple of your videos, I decided to give the banjo a try. At age 53 I figured I had an ice cubes chance in Hades of learning to play it. All I can say is THANK YOU JIM!!! Your videos are easy to follow and you explanations are even easier. I spend an hour with you every day and in just 4 short weeks I am almost ready to begin Lesson 5. Thank you again Jim for introducing me the banjo and inspiring me to keep playing. I only wish I would of came across your site sooner!

I followed the other videos along patiently not jumping ahead and then bam! Cripple Creek started to play from my fingers! Thanks a lot for your wonderful tutorial!

I'm a baby banjo player, been at it a month, your a wonderful instructor, looked at several on youtube but your the best! thanks

THIS IS AMAZING!!! Jim you are hands down the best banjo teacher on RU-vid and the World! i'm a 30 yr old kid, just got my first banjo ever delivered on Friday and already by Tuesday (less than a week ago) i'm playing Cripple Creek with all the bells and whistles past lesson 6. Keep in mind that i have a full time day job and never ever played any other musical instruments in my entire life! THIS IS AMAZING!!! Now ill be starting your lesson 7. Thank you Very much!

my wife gave me a banjo 28 years ago.it's been hanging on the wall with all my guitars....until the lockdown.finding your videos and your simple method of teaching so it's understandable has finally put me on the banjo.thank you and keep'em coming please!

3 yrs later you're still teaching a new generation to play an amazing instrument. Bless ya

Jim, just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of “thank you” for posting these lessons. I had 2 prior failed attempts at learning to play the banjo when I was in high school and college. A combination of poor instruments and only a Mel Bays book for instruction pretty much doomed the effort. Fast forward 40+ years and with a decent loaner from a friend and your lessons I’m actually playing the banjo! Playing Cripple Creek puts a smile on my face. Thanks so much for giving of your time and energy to pass on what you know!

Yes, Mr Pankey, in answer to your question I am having fun. You make learning the banjo easy, and if it's easy it's fun. You have a gift for teaching. I wish some of my teachers at school all those long years ago had a fraction of your skill. I might even have enjoyed learning Latin! Once again, my heartfelt thanks

Hey Jim, thanks so much for being my first teacher of the banjo. Means a lot that you would share your knowledge with us.

I can play it! It took me a lot of practice and lots of repeated sessions with this video, but i can play it, hurray! Thank you so much for your teaching. You are delightful to learn from!!

Jim, you are an awesome instructor! Often when learning something new, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. When we don't get where we think we should be and in the time frame we think we should , we get frustrated and ultimately quit. You are so patient and understand people learn at different rates. You put no pressure on your students (RU-vid watchers) so they can succeed. I have succeeded in learning to play Cripple Creek! I have always loved bluegrass and the banjo. At 56, I can play! The only way I can thank you is to practice, practice, practice and learn more songs. Thank you! I look forward to more videos from Uncle Jim.

Thanks, Jim! I tried to take up the banjo about 10 years ago without enough commitment or luck with any lessons. I feel like I've learnt more and made more progress in one week of watching your videos than months of trying back when I was a teenager. I really appreciate you taking the time to do these and your personality keeps viewers coming back. Thanks again and keep it up!

fabulous Jim! I bought my banjo some 15 years ago in NYC but never really put much time in learning how to play it . Now I moved to North Carolina from Israel for a couple of years and decided that it's a shame to be living in Dixiland and not know how to play your own banjo. So here I am after only 2 days with your great fun banjo lessons, just completed the forth lesson and am kind of really playing Cripple Creek! You're a magician, man. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Been playing my new banjo for 5 days practising for about an hour a day and this afternoon i went through the low part perfectly !! Such a blast to actually get a tune from my banjo that sounds like a banjo player !! Jim thanks for your awesome lessons you have a great way of teaching and i am grateful i found your channel.

This has been absolutely brilliant! Thanks from England for a very fun, but challenging set of lessons thus far. I'm still only at 75% speed (and it does make you sound like you've had a little too much liquid fun at the Creek!) But I'm loving it. I'm just hooked on practising! Hopefully after a few more hundred rounds it will start to feel a little natural and my brain won't suddenly keep resetting my fingers to 'where the heck are we supposed to be?' And then I'll show my banjo playing son what I have managed :-D

My wife gave me my first banjo this Christmas as I have always wanted to pay it. I am almost 48 and even though I was excited to get it I did not know how I was going to learn it as I live in a remote small town. You videos have been great and super easy to follow. Thank you so much. I have been driving my family crazy with Cripple Creek and I love it. My only regret is I did not pick up the banjo earlier. Thanks again!

Hey Mr. Jim, I just wanna say thanks so much for making these videos! I’m a 21 year old and over the years I’ve tried to pick up the guitar and piano but got completely discouraged and quit. I got a banjo for Christmas and am already picking up to this video. You’re a fantastic teacher and I’m looking forward to playing Cripple Creek all the way!

Wow! After buying this Aria 921C (new) in the1970's as a 20-something year old, I can finally play a song! I'm almost in tears... IMHO, these are the absolute best tutorials on RU-vid. I know everyone has a different learning style, but Mr. Pankey's REALLY works for me. I'm going to play this version of Cripple Creek a couple hundred times, then I'll be back for more.

Hi Jim im 65and have always wanted to play the banjo now that I’m retired I have bought a nice 5 string banjo and I’m at the end of lesson 4 And can play cripple creek quite well thanks to you the way you teach is perfect for me my aim is to eventually be able to play duelling banjo s And I’m sure there are thousands of people who would like to do the same so would you please please please give some consideration about making a series of videos step by step for people like me looking forward to your reply thank you for all your help Paul in the uk

Hi Jim; I bought my first banjo about 35 years ago, a Fender Leo, and after about 21 years I had to give it up due to certain health issues. I'm almost 71 now and I picked it up again and now I'm following your amazing lessons here on RU-vid, but I have to keep repeating them due to awfully painful arthritis issues. (I'm only on lesson 2 to 3 at the moment). However, I'm not giving up because I've come to really enjoy your teaching style. I'm re-learning Cripple Creek and having fun doing it. After that, I'll work on some other old favorites. If I can get my old hands loosened up a little I should be able to play Cripple Creek in another month or so. Thank you very much for these lessons Jim, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you providing them. I feel as though you're speaking directly to me (especially when you look right into the camera the way you do), and that personal touch really helps a lot. So, thanks again Jim, and God willing, we'll see you on lesson 3 just as soon as I finish lesson 2 properly. Bye the way, you're a great teacher and a huge inspiration.

I was given a banjo for my birthday when I turned 16. I always fiddled around with it, learned a few things, but never learned my first song until today after this lesson. I’m 25 now, and look forward to continuing to learn so I can play with my brother in laws who all play guitar, piano, and bass guitar. Thank you Jim!

Dang Jim. Keep doing what you do. This is a blast. Professional halfpipe skier and Olympian here. Was listening to bluegrass and bought a little travel banjo on a whim, now I take it everywhere with me and you're teaching me to play cripple creek. RU-vid is awesome.

I bought a banjo last Saturday (05 Dec 2020) and started this video lesson series of yours that day. Low and behold, one week later, here I am playing Cripple Creek! I have never played a string instrument before. You’re a great teacher!

Boy the last three videos were super easy compared to this one. I guess I was bound to hit a wall eventually! Is anyone else having a hard time putting it all together?

Hey Jim! Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you from a mother of 3 in WV! I just got a banjo for Christmas and Ive always loved the sound. Now I’m learning how to play it thanks to you! I just finished lesson 4 and cant wait to learn more. Great videos, great teacher and a lot of fun.

Hey Jim, I'm 59 yrs old, and have played guitar on and off since high school , but it was on my bucket list to learn banjo. I just wanted to say your teaching style is fantastic! I've only had my banjo for a week, and I can now play Cripple Creek! That's nuts! Thank you so much for posting these lessons! 😊

I am on this lesson now and I don't know what I'd do without your channel! I need a Jim Pankey T-shirt! I can't wait to watch all of your videos. I can finally play a bit of a tune out on my back patio for the birds n butterflies hahaha. Thanks again Jim I'll do what I can to support your channel and merchandise!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU and I have enjoyed the lessons so far. I'm 51 years old and never played before. I got a banjo for Christmas and have been following your lessons. I'm only on my second week and I can already hear a song trying to come out! I look forward to finishing the "Learn to Play Bluegrass Banjo" and moving on to some of your other videos.

Wow i been shoveling through videos for weeks i was originally going to buy a ukulele because i was intimidated by the beautiful banjo but after seeing ur video and how easily u break it down my hubby got me my first banjo and u have me actually excited to learn !! Im doing good after just 3 of ur videos !! Thank you !! This grandma is gonna be cool!! Lol

Was given a banjo as a gift at 70 from my son. I am completely non musical at all but I am giving it a red hot go. Thank you for your simple easy to follow lessons Jim for a total novice you make it super fun. I seem need a fair bit of practice time as I have no musical knowlegebut I am slowly getting there. Cheers from Australia, take care and keep safe

having played the classical guitar for 30 years , i fancied a new challenge in my now 60's and that is to learn the banjo, your lessons are fun and enjoyable to listen to and find myself coming on leaps and bounds thanks to you Jim, looking forward to more of your videos,

Mr Jim Pankey you rock ! . THANK you for the lessons . I just got this down (pause and play and start over / numerous times ) I will clean it up before moving to the next lesson. I've not smiled ,giggled & had so much fun since the (girls) cheerleading incedent in school and I'm in my 50's ...... THANK You so much...

Literally the best banjo teacher on RU-vid. Breaks it down so simple and doesn’t rush you. I’ve learnt so much off him. Would honestly recommend to anyone wanting to learn the banjo from scratch.

hey my son has found this and he been watching a lot of your videos and now he is really good at banjo thank you

I’ve had my banjo for 2 months. Tried all sort of teachers and methods. I first saw you teaching clawhammer and I am able to follow you with ease. Now I actually have cripple creek down using rolls. Man I’m 68 and not the sharpest tac In the pack. Some things are just meant to be. Thanks for being that instructor that got me motivated.

Just wanted to add for brand new banjoists,like me. If it is hard to distinguish finger movements ,or just need to slow things down, you can click on the 'gear icon' in the video window, go to SPEED,and change from NORMAL,to .5 (which is half speed). This has really help me in a few spots. Thank You much Jim,for the great detailed videos,too. For not having ever owned a musical instrument in my life, am fast becoming a bluegrass superstar. At least the dog is listening to all I can dish out. The Mrs, seems impressed too,well at least in my mind she is. ha ha,

Got the song learned took me 3 1/2 weeks still moving forward Going to hang out on this video until I get it totally critiqued and awesome. thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Jim. I just wanted to say thank you for all these lessons. I am finally able to play through all of Cripple Creek without having to check myself or correct a mistake. My wife tells me all the time "just play" and with your help I finally am. I need to continue to practice my slides at least the 2-4 slide. I always cut it short. I'm not worried about speed or perfection, i'm just playing and loving every minute. Thank you again so much.

I have good news tempered with bad news, I had taken my guitar to the luthier, and he did an amazing job, it is better than new, I can now hit chords I never could before, and it sounds so amazing, however, it is in the case, as I hammer away on my banjo lessons with Mr. Pankey. I am stuck on lesson 3.5 as I can't go on I'm having too much fun with the low part of cripple creek and a c chord and can't sit still. I'm on it so much I can still hear it hours into the work day. Thanks Jim.

Been playing guitar for 15 years so I bought a banjo a few years ago. Tried to play it like a guitar and got nowhere, thank you for these videos, they're fantastic!

65 and just picked up a banjo for the first time ever. Fingers sore and smiling wide. Cheers mate love these vids

I love the way you've numbered your lesson it brings continuity to RU-vid. Which in my opinion is rarely seen

Hi Jim , started playing banjo at 52 my husband bought me a Banjo for Christmas, he is a guitar man, so banjo is pretty much jibberish to him, I have an instructor once a week , but I literally spend an hour and a half every evening with your videos! I’m on lesson 4 now , and it’s giving me so much confidence to go at my own pace! At home,You are a great teacher , thanks so much, sincerely, your forever unknown student.😉

Jim, just a quick message to say thank you for these lessons. After playing acoustic guitar most of my life, I was given a banjo that used to belong to my Aunt after she passed away recently. So, I'm trying to learn how to play in her honor. I just completed lesson 4. I find you very easy to follow, and I'm doing pretty well so far. I look forward to more instruction from you on lesson 5 and beyond. Thank you once again. Take care!

I have been trying to teach myself by watching different "how to" banjo videos and settled on yours. You have a relaxed and disarming teaching style that takes a lot of moving parts and makes sense of them. Thanks so much Jim, I feel like I am really getting it. God bless and be well.

Just started watching 1 week ago and comfortable with level 3 already. You are easy to watch and learn from. Looking forward to continued progress. Thank you for your inspiration and confidence.

Jim, I've just got to say, you are an absolutely amazing teacher. I just turned 18 a few days ago and got a banjo for my birthday. I've always loved bluegrass music and that carried over to me wanting a banjo. I've been playing guitar since I was 8 or so, and I've got to say, even though this song is not difficult at all to what I can play on guitar, I probably had more fun learning from your videos than I have for any song I've learned on guitar. So after 10 years of playing the guitar, your lessons have brought more joy because of your teaching style, personality, and just how well you teach the banjo. Thank you so much for making these videos! I'll definitely be watching a lot more of your videos!

This series of videos is what convinced me to finally get around to buying a banjo. A few weeks in and it feels like a difficult, but possible task. Thank you for these videos, and thank you for the way you teach. Just wanted you to know these are still helping people.

I just happened to stumble across your videos and you inspired me to go out and buy a banjo this past Thursday and here it is Sunday and i can play through cripple creek! Thanks to you, I have fell in love with music again! I played the guitar for a few years back when I was younger but I gave it up unfortunately. Thanks Jim!!

Thank you Jim! You just learned me to play Cripple Creek! Greetings from Norway :-)

"...play it, play it, play it, drive your family crazy, drive your friends crazy..." Check! Thank you for the lessons. I too failed at learning in 1993. Gave up. Now it's so rewarding and fun learning with your videos. Cheers! -Kevin

ive been playing guitar for a few years now and decided to buy a banjo because i just think its such a cool instrument. after my second day of playing now i have to say banjo is way more fun than guitar. even when im not very good at it its just fun to mess around and accidentally play something that sounds good and these lessons are a huge help as well.

Pretty much a fan of your humor and of course the way you teach. Thanks for letting me know you're out there. It's been a month and i find my self playing cripple creek on a banjo, thanks Jim i wish you the best from Catalonia. stay strong!!

Sure is exciting to make something that sounds like a song! This lesson took a bit for my brain to latch on. But I finally figured it out! I laugh when you say drive your family crazy practicing.. Well, I practice when hubbys at work- but I think the dog has about had it with Cripple Creek Hahahah! I'm having a Blast learning! So thankful for your videos! I'm amazed at how fast I'm catching on! Your a Great teacher! Thank you!!!

What can I say that hasn't already been said. You have inspired a legion of banjo beginners with your easy to follow teaching. The comments below show how far and wide your videos have reached. I add my thanks to those who have said so before me. I Would love you to do Steve Martins the crow if you get time. Thank you sir.

Thanks Jim!! I was hooked from video 1. My 20+ years since I tried and failed to learn from a tab book. Dusted down the banjo and now almost playing cripple creek 👍☺️

jim, i am an eighteen year old student who recently got a banjo for her birthday, and i am already finding myself being able to play this new instrument! having played guitar and ukulele before with my dad, this is another fun thing i can do with him, and it wouldn't be the same without the expert help from your videos. thank you for teaching us all!!

I got a banjo for Christmas and your videos are giving me so much life right now. I'll practice this about 600 more times. My family says thank you! 🤣

Love your videos! Im 29 and I've literally wanted a banjo my whole life. A friend blessed me with one less than a week ago and I've already learned almost a whole song! THANK YOU!

Hi Mr.Jim. Ima Japanese moved to Texas from Tokyo last year. I'm not a guy who comments on youtube videos (actually this is my first time) but I just wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH,YOU'RE MY LORD. Since my visa has 5 years I wanted to do something new here. Then I bought a banjo and found your videos. All your words make sense and I really like how you teach. My cat started to sleep next to me after I completed cripple creek. Doumo Arigato!

Lesson 4 bit nervous now using the left hand more but practice practice practice really enjoying the lessons and loving the banjo, thanks again for these video's Mr Pankey still loving them! Only regret I have is I wish I started earlier then 42 years

Hi Jim, I know this is a day late and a dollar short but I wanted to thank you for creating and contuning to share your videos. For years I toyed aroun on accustic guitar and never got the hang of it. I feel I am learning the banjo a good pace for me and truly enjoying it! God bless!

These are great. Thank you! I burned through the first four in an hour. Now I will to practice before I carry on. I like your style. Found myself talking back to you. Lol.

I've been playing since xmas had a breakthrough the past couple of days made huge progress by relaxing and shutting off my brain and letting all my hard work of replicating rolls slides etc. take over playing very smooth with limited mistakes my advice is practice you rolls slides etc. relentlessly but when you put it all together shut off you brain and just play

I have always had a keen interest in listening to bluegrass music, and now I am looking for a banjo, i will be following your videos, thank you.

It took me so long to pick up my banjo just because I had no idea where to start and everywhere I looked had either really unsatisfying rolls that didn't sound like anything or assumed a level of knowledge I just didnt have. Well today I learned Cripple Creek. Your lessons are broken up into easy to understand chunks that aren't patronizing. I cant wait to learn more of my dear Ebanjolene. Thank you!!

Thank you very much for making these videos for us Banjo beginners. I went out and brought myself a second hand banjo it needed new string so I watched your video to learn how to put new strings on. My next step is to watch the rest of your videos to learn how to play my 🪕 banjo. I have found your videos to be the best and easiest to learn from. I am in Australia. Have a blessed day 🙏 thank you so much for your videos muchly appreciated.

I am at lunch break at work watching this for the second time, wanna tell the crew to calk it a day just so I can go practice. Haha but I will make some money first.

Thank you, thank you, you've helped an old talentless bloke like me play this tune! You make it such a peaceful learning experience....I am looking forward to the next sessions, but not until I've worked on these a while.

I can't thank you enough Jim.I'm still trying.65 year old hands.I thank God they are still working

Well, you're still decidedly the best! You teach at a great pace, and I love how you break each step down, talk us through just enough, and then play it. Excited to keep going through these!

Got the hang of this bit now, Jim - really didn't think I would but it's there. My son asked me if I had learnt anything else - I think I'm doing as you suggested - driving the family crazy lol :) first time in my life I feel like I'm 'playing music' - it's only taken me 52 years haha

These videos have helped me so much! I take notes on the song orders and practice them whenever. Really quality, helpful, and fun lessons that are so easy to understand but actually teach you how to play. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. Thank you Jim!!!

Thank you very much. I have been suffering while trying to learn from books and video. But now I know how to play an actual song. Only took two weeks. You made it make sense. Thanks again.
