He didnt explain the foward/backward roll in corresponding to what he played.......

[apro9rammer]

Do what you want to do. Don't let others dictate how and what you chose to pursue.

I absolutely love the way he turns to the camera every new shot.

Howdy^^

You have more comfort with those 'Fingerpicks' (think thats the Name for *those finger thingies*)

You can play the Banjo without those picks. I think at the first Time it can hurt... *when you don't have any other instruments where you played a *Fingerpicking-Song?!?* before...

Befor I played this, i tryed to frail the Banjo. Thats easy and it makes fun... Do it, before you play these rolls. Search for Frailing Banjo in YT.

Hope i can help you...

[coffeeblackneggwhite]

do you need those finger thingies to make it sound right? or does it just hurt to much without those?

i love playing banjo its fun!

[oldtrout1000]

who says us banjo pickers cant count...its as simple as 1 2 4:)

[mattybock]

without geoff allot of people would be lost in learning, so to all who think he can't count/ has bad timing/ whatever- go suck a drumstick! geoff is great.

@connersaltzer of course his timing is off. everyone knows banjo players can't count.
