Great job as always Tony!!! Would you please explain your strumming pattern? Also, you are playing in the key of C, but are capoed to the 2nd fret, so I assume you are actually playing in the key of D? Am I correct? Thanks! I love your lessons.

@THEguitartuner Yes, you are correct. I will prepare a tutorial on this in the near future. (I am working on a banjo tutorial at present). The reason I capo this up and play C chords is that I can pick out some of the tune more easily.

Thanks Tony! I just love you!!! :) The last time I asked you a capo question, I was wrong. I'm glad you taught me to understand the capo positioning. I am also trying to learn the banjo. I probably should pick just one or the other instrument to learn, but I love them both!
