G Lick Bluegrass Lesson on Guitar 2

[stevek037]

Banjo Ben, thanks for your help! You're the man!

[barniescamp]

i love your videos, their a great learning tool. i watch then all the time and learn something new each time..

[KolayaGuitars]

what is that brown thing in the top of the soundhole?

[SCREAMotionless]

You should certainly tab out what you were doing at 8:07. I'd love to learn that. I'm new to all of this, and your videos are the first I'm tabbing. I'm trying to get used to using these types of scales in songs and if you tabbed that out, that would be fantastic. Thanks so much for the awesome lessons man. Keep up the good work!

[actionjacksondan]

Banjo Ben is the Man! keep the lessons flowing brotha!

[Patriksundvik]

[skiddyism]

Thank you Banjo Ben. This helps me a lot--especially since I can't find someone who teaches Bluegrass in China.

You can also prolong the first original lick by reversing the two g notes but only play the open g once.

[binkley007]

well done Ben, thanks for sharing, Barclay

[ooJDMoo]

wow that was amazing

[Pruerod1]

good one Ben, mixing this stuff in with my blues playing..... kind of ...thanks mate

[handypantz]

I agree Ben. Thanks for the licks they are the best! But I also would like to see some tabs as well!

[lesterleid]

Do you have the tab for your G licks. I would love to have it. thanks your an awesome player

[jimmyinsocal59]

Ben, great instruction. One question, could you please do a video on "Decision at Glady Fork"? I love that song.

You and your sisters are fantastic also. Keep it coming.

[mudcatmdrs]

Good instruction and a good guitar lick. Thanks for slowing it down and actually teaching it. I don't mind the guitar, you got the message across.

[69fretmaster]

you have got to start goin slower man

[1WAMozart]

Great teacher..try a BR 160 from Blueridge

[1985jsn]

Awesome stuff as usual Banjo Ben! You are the absolute best guitar teacher I have ever seen on youtube or anywhere else. Thanks for teaching me and many others so much about the bluegrass guitar, it is greatly appreciated!

[hardcorefanJacoby]

agreed. nice guitar but a d-28 or a j-40 would be better

[fcleffist]

Very nice licks, executed quite nicely. Clear instructions, thanks very much. The guitar needs to go, however; it just doesn't make it for sound, even on this great Bose/Mac system. Try a D-28.

[odedseter]

Your amazing! and thank you so much!!

No one knows how to teach bluegrass here in Israel..

Keep up the good work!

[pickinplatypus]

thanks for this Ben

[muckraker100]

[trecool28]

[fefethedestroyer123]

dude!! these videos are great! thank you so much!

[TEB1952]

Hi Banjo Ben.

I am going to ride my MC through some of the Appalachians. Any spots up there with good music gatherings? We are going through NAshville heading east in September.

[kyew92]

Galax, Virginia host the Old Fiddlers Convention every 1st week in august.

[TEB1952]

Thanks, anything in Sept?

[maxneu]

How cool is it that all these people from around the world are learning bluegrass from a guy in tennesee. I LOVE youtube.

Max - Dubai

[BanjoBen1]

It still amazes me all the time! Pretty crazy, huh? Thanks for watching!!!

[TEB1952]

Hey BanjoBen,

Iam planning a trip to Nashville in Sep. Any suggestions as to where to stay and where to go for food, and music?

[BanjoBen1]

You HAVE to go to Robert's Western World on Broadway. They generally have the BEST country bands and the hamburgers are second to none.

[sonofwill]

lol my dad used to play at roberts, and was roomates with 2 of the guys from BR5-49

[waterdoggz]

Thank you for your time and effort! I've leaned so much from you! You Rock Bro..

[nsaretard]

Agree Tony Rice IS AWESOME, I just started bluegrassin ! TY learning all you showing and enjoying cool playing! I hope enough before  this summerfest!

[pflyman1526]

I just cannot say enough for the help you have given to want-a-be bluegrass pickers, especially the young kids who love our music. Thanks So Much for taking the time.

[ohkeepa321]

Thanks Ben. I'd like to echo all the other thanks and comments on here. I've been playing for a long time but am very rusty (I never really became a confident soloist). I just joined a new bluegrass band a few weeks ago. My flat top skills are real rusty and you've really helped me get back into things and also showed me some really practical things to do while soloing. Thanks so much! (Not sure if you know but there's a real vibrant bluegrass community in the Czech Republic)

[laneline04]

You do a really nice job of explaining!!

[vonillahead217]

dude youre an awesome teacher. thanks for breaking everything down so well!

[ewoe21]

[evilassgringo]

[DHF6875]

Thank you, Ben, for taking the time to teach me your cool-sounding licks. I'm a slow learner, but I'm coming along faster now that I have your videos to help me. Thank you again!

[vardamin]

Ben, do you know this "banjoben32" with his song "baby I'll eat your XXXXX while you watch tv"? When I'm looking at your videos, I notice his video sometimes comes up as a related video.

[TICOOCIT2]

Nice Job,I am looking for stuff like this

Well appreciated

[mokogintaz]

THANKS !!!

[billybuckhorn]

I can't thank you enough for sharing your licks with us! I never thought I could play stuff like this but I'm actually doing it! You rock!! THANK YOU banjoben!!!

[vindictive240]

[guildd55]

Thanks for the great lesson

[ferlottes]

Merci Ben !!! Je pense que je vais me mettre au Bluegrass et faire vibrer le Québec !!!

[NiftyGriftySwifty]

OK I now officially give up, I'll never be a fast picker. Great lessons though, mate, and I love that Bryan Sutton lick. I shall be practising for the next 13 years until I get it to somewhere near half speed...

Jonny from West Sussex, UK

[sweetdixieguitar]

I have been playing almost 7 years and without being able to afford lessons I never picked up these types of licks. I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge for all to enjoy Ben. Being a somewhat experienced picker I am catching onto these very fast. Thanks again brother

[BeachMusic58]

Who are you playing for in Nashville ? Are you with a group, or doing recording work ? just curious.

[BanjoBen1]

I'm currently playing for Taylor Swift, but I'm also doing some studio stuff on the side.

[guccitothemax]

@BanjoBen1 don't take this wrong but does that mean you're the only talent in the band?

[BanjoBen1]

@guccitothemax When I'm the only person in my band, I'm by default the best. It's the only time I can enjoy that title :)

[TalonFinsky]

Really great stuff.  Any plans on doing similar installments for D & C (aside from the Bag o' Licks, that is)?

[tcbuzz]

Your the best...thanks again man.

[jesseman81]

You rock man!! Thanks for taking the time to share your gift and helping players learn some great licks.

[jdatnva]

I really enjoy your lessons and you explain everything really well. How about a lesson on the tune Decision At Glady Fork that you play at the end? That's an excellent tune that is at the top of my list to learn. Thanks!

[jdatnva]

I just noticed you have another video with the the tune Decision At Glady Fork. I feel like a dummy now. :)

[Krekule]

Its perfect; but I cant comprehend, how you can play it so fast. Beginner from Bohemia.

[bluegrassholik]

[tarman1888]

Is there any way you could make a video for the intro and break for Bryan sutton's version of Blue Night from Im Ready to Go?

[tarman1888]

Is there any way you could put a video out on the intro and break to Bryan Sutton's version of Blue Night from Im Ready to Go??

[tarman1888]

man i love tryin to figure bryan suttons stuff out as well.

[tarman1888]

That was f!@#$ng awsome dude. Maybe one day ill send you an instructional video..LOL. By the Way That Taylor sounds GREAT,What do you think about a collins???? Also, did that Bryan sutton lick come from decision at Glady's Fork???

[BanjoBen1]

Collings are awesome. I wish I had the money to buy one. I love their mando's too. And yes, that Sutton lick did come from Decision at Glady's Fork. I'm thinking about putting the whole song up if there was demand for it. Thanks for watching!

[christisnum1]

Do you know Angeline the Baker? Good pickin by the way. It helped alot.

[bigjohnsc]

These are the best bluegrass lessons I've seen on youtube.  Thanks.

[OnTheRanch]

thanks again!
