Awesome video! You guys are great instructors. I really appreciate the wide latitude you express in your playing.

This is by far my favorite video so far and I have watched quite a bit of the daily frail's! You look awesome Patrick! Also, thanks for being the best banjo teacher out there! Frailing is so much better than rolling!

Damn Elwood, rough nite...tie one on..shake it off and grab yer banjo!!!

He explained it once I believe as being because the banjo has a much lower action, and as such a heavy slide would not be as good as it would be for a guitar.

[redlerb]

Why do you need a light slide for banjo? Most people want a heavy hard slide for stringed instruments.

Just stumbled upon this oldie that I missed - wow, that's dense with material. Love how you wake up at the 14 minute mark and revert to your normal cheery self. But, yes, incredible lesson.

God I wish I could clawhammer like that! Somehow, I am always more appealed by playing picking, but the sound of clawhammer is the best there is.

I play bluegrass and hope I can incorporate these great tips into my playing. It sounds great.
