Mountain Dew on the Banjo (beginner)

[portmantologist]

Playing's not bad for a beginner, but for the love of God, tune your instrument before you record.

holy crap that thunder at the end shat me up

[popoaggie]

I keep waiting for you to spit out a big stream of tobacco after that pickin. Anchoring your pinkie and/ or your ring finger will give you more power and steadiness. It's hard at first but becomes a habit after awhile.

I just started teaching myself also alot of work but i think it will be worth it. that is the next song up.

It's "Good 'Ol Mountain Dew"

Your out of tune, the picking is sloppy, and the tempo is fluctuating. Keep practicing, because this video was posted before enough practice.

[graiypz]

nice tune my friend :)

[MrFilthyJoe]

you should put your 2 bottom fingers on the head of the banjo this helps when playing more diverse tunes

[NYCWest777]

I think you're doing great! Are you still playing? How's it going?

[banjopickkermanddy93]

good ! but try to pay attention to your pickin fingers too, and you still need to tune that banjo up !! :)

[mlsoccer1]

Hey i use that book too! Your amazing dude. Keep it up. And don't listen to chevy, he's just jealous. Keep up the good work.

[LudwigVonSpeedking]

The best player in the world, at one time, was no better than you are right now. Keep playing and one day you'll be as good as him! Sounds good!!

[chevy0215]

this was horrible. i almost jumped out of my skin due to how bad that banjo is out of tune. ugh

[JEMCO2008]

I like it well done

May your strings be tight

how did you teach yourself? i'm trying to learn to

[bucketmouthangler13]

I'm using Janet Davis's Mel Bay "You Can Teach Yourself The Banjo" book

[Whitelightng]

Good job...I play fiddle but am thinking of gettnig a banjo to help ree me a little from bowing...should be interesting.

[GeorgeMellllow]

my advice to you is go slower and concentrate on the finger picking,

it sounds like you're just rolling through it,

but for a beginner that's pretty good!

[bucketmouthangler13]

Yeah as you can see, this video was filmed before I learned the fine art of keeping the pinky on the banjo head. So my picking is a little sloppy.

[johneackley]

concentrate on your fingering first!

its good to see youngins learning the old banjo

[girlswithguitars859]

Keep playing your doing really good. I just recently picked up the Mountain Dulcimer and started playing. Check out my beginer video lol!
