Foggy Mountain Breakdown

[chainsawz1]

I need some banjo advice, do you think I could do the same with a 6 string banjo?

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

@chainsawz1 Yea you should be able to, although the neck will definitly be a bit wider and if you use your thumb to fret any it might be a little challenging, but other than that it should be like just playing a 5 string.

[aspiva4]

intricate and always fun

[bradsmells]

great job! that was awesome!

[rstewart2702]

Crazy good!

[RoseMetalKSE]

Wow i have a banjo but it's hard or me to play it, as i play electric guitar beacuse of lack of time and I suck at this song. How long have you been playing and how many hours a day?

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

@RoseMetalKSE I've been playin for about 10 years now. I used to play four any where between 2 and 7 hours a day, but lately i dont play much as I used to

[MSfeller]

@BenJenkinsbanjo And it shows, my friend. Practice and time = better picking. Your picking is magical, I've been picking for about 4 years now and I ain't reached not even a fraction of the skill you got there! And I still ain't got a proper version of this tune or Dueling Banjos done right. Lol, someday. I hope you never get to quit picking.

[sufenta67]

Interesting arrangement. I liked it.

[JerryFree3]

WOW!!!best i've heard in a while.how long have you been playing and where did you learn to do those licks?

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

[EMERICAskater199]

amazing! perfect in every way.

[indianheadress]

How hard was that to learn?

The Picking and all.

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

It was kinda hard gettin started on it but once i got used to it, it felt more natural and seemed like it came to me alot more easier than it did

[55zephyr]

Truly superb picking.

[matttbennett]

Its great, your a great banjo picker, but its too much weird stuff going on in it, keep it clean with a little twist, not as much twist as you put in it.

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

hey thanks...but wat i figured was that foggy mountain breakdown had been so many times by so many different banjo players it would be hard to find a twist that no one had ever done before..so i did my best to put somthin in there that no one had done..but thanks for the comment btw and i'll ttyl

[donovanwiseman]

just b original dont listen 2 people like that sounds pretty good

[2ndfret]

I liked the different varations If I want to hear it the way Earl played it then I will listen to Earl.Pay no attention to that Earl did not. get where he is by playing like Uncle Davbe Macon.

[Goschka]

real graet stuff !

[midlandsguy]

cool !

[Granada90]

Nice job!

[mrhampton10]
