Does the sound from the 5th string come from letting your thumb shoot off of it or from letting the string pop up behind your thumb?

[FretfulFingers]

Thanks for the lesson, and nice banjo too.  I like your easy going approach to teaching.

Cheers

Rich

I really like this easy, simplified approach, now, it takes me to practice it. Thanks for your RSB postings.

Nice job, Woodchuck; DWS here. Quite a tuning for a demonstration, eh? Sounds like "Last Chance" at the end of the clip. All the best to you and Ms. Rabbit.

Oldwoodchuck here again.

RSB is now available on the web. just put rocket science banjo together as a single word and do the dottedcom ending

[Oldwoodchuckb]

Tony here. That is indeed young Woodchuck and The Lovely Ms. Rabbit.

[motonomad]

Thanks for the lessons.

Hmm... just curiosity...

There is an A.P. Spadero photographed on the pages of Ken Perlman's book. Are you that man?

Thanks Tony, wonderful laid back lessons that helped me a lot back here in The Netherlands.

Thanks, Woodchuck.

I play old-time fiddle, guitar, mando and I've been in a lot of OT james with some good, great, and even grammy-winning banjoists.

All the while, my pawn shop open-back banjo has remained at home, a decoration and a dream.

You video had me smiling within minutes in anticipation of adding clawhammer banjo. I've got to get this thing to a luthier or find a starter banjo or I'll bust.
