Nice to have met ya via YouTube today. Awesome video by the way. This video rocks. I tried to tune the banjo like ya said, but for some reason sounds different maybe it's because of the cover thingy on the back of the Banjo. It's not an open back banjo. is there a difference? Also the shortest string key is a bit hard to turn any advice?
Could you please put up more banjo lessons. I just past 8 and well I want to learn to tune & play a 5 string banjo, now that schools out for summer. I want to learn how to tune and play my dad's banjo quickly without reading notes since I don't know how, instead of letting them continue to collect dust on the wall.Continued...
@acefrehley813 Sure. A resonator is just a thing people hang on the back of the banjo to make it louder, as if banjos needed to be louder.. hahaha. ... Take it off and you've got a regular banjo.... What can I help you with..
thanks for the free lessons but i was wonderin becuase ive been told that your pinky finger and the one next to it should stay on the head of the banjo but when i play i jus stick them out to stay out of my way is this a bad habbit?
@MrStryperfan Anyone that tells you to play that way, is also trying to teach you Scruggs Style picking, which causes cancer and will make your teeth fall out. Play any way you want. If someone tells you where to stick your pinky, you tell them where to stick theirs..
@rpeek haha thanks for the laugh. Ya il jus stick to the way how I play. Thanks for the advice keep the lessons comin'! There no use in payin for stupid lessons if i got great ones right here! thanks and god bless.
@rpeek thanks he i wasa wonderin if you could play the song the devil went down to georgia but with a twist instead of the fiddle tunes make em banjo tunes. If this is to hard of a thing to do i unstand if you got any questions please ask
I've been watching your vids and I have decided to give the Banjo a try,but I have no clue what to look for in a Banjo, I would be a beginner. Make Model Sound Price can you help me out? Thanks Ed
Go to ebay. There's usually about 5000 of 'em on any given day. Look at them, study the photos and read the discriptions. If you see one you like feel free to email me the reference # and I'll look at it with you and let you know what I think. I prefer older to newer, but you have to get one with a straight neck, a good head, tuners, and string height unless you know how to, or want to learn how to fix those kinds of things.. Good luck with it.
Hello Mr rpeek sir well I have found one that Im very interested in on ebay and Im thinking about bidding on it but not sure if its worth the price,then again it just comes down to how bad you want it, but im willing to make a bid, its a unique looking Banjo. I do play a couple of different Guitars and have been doing so for a while, Im just drawn to this one really crazy like,heck I dreamed about it last (funny) O'Well Item#330409778508 Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks ED

are the resonator screws tightend to a certain tightness or are they just tightend up just to hold it on to the back of the banjo?
acefrehley813 1 year ago
@acefrehley813 Just enough to hold it.

"I figured, now that I gave a banjo lesson, maybe I should talk about tuning. Talk about putting the cart before the horse... "
Oh that made me laugh man...
best example of horse b 4 cart I hav ever heard.
Keep up the good work mate First lesson Impresed me greatly and I am just a Drummer!
PS: I could tell by the familiar sound that I have heard so many of my Guitar friends play when tuning that you are spot on in this video.
Again good work keep it up.
