The Process

[MountainJackson]

Patrick, just wanted to say "Hi" I too have a medical problem and I'm not able to get out much any more at all. But your banjo lessons got me started a while back, and now I am always at home with a friend. Just about every day is filled with me wrestling with my 5 string. I'll never be a "great" banjo player, but man I love it! And you were very responsible for my sticking with it. Thanks, Patrick, for all you given so freely.

[DojCity]

Really great to have you back, Patrick. Your lessons are always the perfect mix of music learning, life learning and motivation.

[thmpick]

Sorry, I know these things already. Been playing for 46 years. I just wanted to say... You seem to have a wonderful personality and a natural way of putting your viewers at ease. Nice job.

[fishwhisperer]

If ever someone had the gift of "teaching", it's you. Thank you so very much.

[xgi36]

Welcome back, hope this year is super good for you and Amy.

Thanks for all you give to so many of us.

Patrick for President. Seriously.

Awesome Patrick! I Loved that you played Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten, I've been playing that alot lately and got really excited when you did.

I also dug the part about music (or life) being for dancing to while its playing, not having a point A and B. Very Zen, I've heard Alan Watts say the same things.

Excellent video. Happy to see you smilin' again.

[dcntexas3]

I've enjoyed your videos for some time Patrick, but for some reason this was so special...

urging musicians to discover and appreciate themselves as unique and to respect and learn at the feet of others. You saying it's not a journey from point A to point B but to 'infinity and beyond' were inspiring to me.

I started playing at a Nursing Home last year an how rewarding for them and me. I agree, give back to others what God has given to you. Blessings my friend.

[vjsiehl]

Patrick, Happy New Year to you and Amy. I, too am beginning my journey with the six string (a little later in life). Your videos are insightful, motivational, inspirational, and instructional. Your "How and Tao" book is the perfect introduction to the six string. A million times over, I thank you.

I just found your YouTube channel tonight. I started viewing much older post's with you and your dad. I just started learning some chords on a Ukulele. I found myself listening to you and being inspired. Iv'e always wanted to play banjo but was to intimidated. I'm gaining confidence as I learn to strum a bit on my Uke (2 weeks now and playing several songs). I just might try the Banjo after all....and if I do, it ill be greatly be due to your Youtube posts. Thank you!

Excellent video Patrick!

[LongTailGamer]

Individuality is such a big part of music. I've always loved how you answer questions like "how do I find my own voice" with fun stories.
