I'm quite certain that theres multiple ways of tuning a banjo and with each unique tuning, comes with it's own style. Like Iridh, Celtic, bluegrass. Ect.
For a while I was stuck on deciding what instrument to learn, and once I found your channel I decided on the banjo. Thanks for showing how awesome the banjo is
You're so right. While I was watching, I kept thinking what's more famous than this one? And I was like, ohhhh yeah, forgot about those! Lol kept getting "famouser" 😂
Just got my first banjo yesterday. I'm going to try to learn those 5 songs over the next year. I've been playing guitar for 50 years. Thanks for the videos.
Was never much of a bluegrass fan…that is, until I retired and started teaching myself to play the banjo a little over 1 year ago. It’s been simultaneously the most exhilarating and humbling experience of my life - listening to your mesmerizing renditions of the stuff I’m still trying to master is like a shot of adrenaline! Gotta go and practice more now!
Loved hearing rocky top on the banjo. I went to school at UT Knoxville. I'm taking up the banjo to learn right now and this will be a song I will learn.
Man that's some good fast pickin! I was looking for banjo music and when you did Foggy Mountain Breakdown I had to follow. I'm thinking about getting a banjo. My dad passed recently and we listened to bluegrass together and I'd like to give it a try.
Hi Mason, i just inherited a banjo and thanks to your enthusiasm for the instrument i am taking u tube lessons off you and Eli Gilbert and love love it. In Australia we don't have much bluegrass but i am hoping to give my playing the Aussie Twang, and i guess i will document my learnings as i go. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this!! I am learning and playing piano now, but I would love to play a stringed instrument like the banjo in the future. As a singer, I would love to have something portable I can sing with :)
Like to see you play with billy strings. You are excellent!! Hm let me guess the songs Cripple Creek Foggy Mountain Breakdown Rocky Top Dueling Banjos Rocky Top Dueling Banjos Beverly Hillbillies
I love this! You are very talented! I have learned a lot from your videos. I have an old 1960's Chicago Harmony Banjo, I can play a little on it. How are you able to pick so fast without mistakes?
I might live in Nebraska but we have swamps and we make shine as well, but we also have completely unprovoked and unpredictable weather. But when summer comes around you best believe my words when we get close 110 degrees out we wear short sleeve shirts and full blue jeans, because you boys and girls down south might have big mosquitoes but we got them too and chiggers, and ankle biting ticks. But if we start wearing long sleeve shirts we are either hunting or fishing, or we are working to make enough sweat so our wives or girlfriends or whom ever is telling us to be sweaty and only then are we allowed to grab a cold one and shower and cuddle our partner.
