[jcopela8033]

Can you do the same for Matthew and the Atlas?

[jcopela8033]

Awesome'

[pollymillner]

Great Video as per usual, what Banjo are you playing on?

[happybanjodude]

@pollymillner Washburn B-11

[grizzleybear0014]

ive got an electric tuner and i have it tuned to A D G B D but it doesn't sound right after putting on the capo, any suggestions on whats wrong?

[hhnnnnngggg]

@grizzleybear0014 Check the intonation of your banjo. Play the open D string, then play the same string fretted on the 12th fret. The note should also be a D. If it's sharp, you'll need to move the bridge backwards, if it's flat, move it forwards.

Subbed. Awesome lessons, great tabs. Been looking for videos like this for ages.

[mountinmonkey]

You are truly the most awesome person in the entire world! I've been trying to figure out how to play this song for ages, and now I can!

[Stride278]

Needs more hip thrust ;p

[707dude707]

Thanks Dude, i'm thinking of getting a banjo myself.

[vdeshmukh2688]

You rule dude. This is awseome. Any Avett stuff?

[27billabong27]

thats great thank you so much!

[mfutch78]

how many bpm are you at in this?

[happybanjodude]

@mfutch78 Around 130ish.

[mfutch78]

@happybanjodude dang, ok it'll take me awhile. I've got the metronome on 60 right now with four notes for every click. Keeping that ring finger planted on the 1st string is helping me make the chord changes quicker. Thanks for putting this lesson up. You rock.

[ebyo343]

how do you place your pinkey finger and ring finger? im still somewhat new to playing the banjo and was just wondering. thank you.

[PureZOOKS]

Good god how do you do the bridge? I am having a lot of trouble with it.

[happybanjodude]

@PureZOOKS Start with your middle finger on 6th fret, and you index on 5th, play through that roll, then jump and reverse your fingers so your index is on the 9th fret, and your middle is on the 10th. Start very slow and gradually build up speed.

[TheGallenders]

@happybanjodude PRACTISE!! start slow just doing repetative forward and backward rolls then combine and funk it up, remember speed will come with practise :)

[TheGallenders]

great help keep it up maan :)

[hawkmango]

@happybanjodude do you have any tips for learning to pick that fast?

[happybanjodude]

@hawkmango Only one way... use a metronome. Start slow and accurate and gradually build up speed. 

[frankenfronk]

[JTLITALIA]
