Free Banjo Lesson: Cripple Creek

This is the first banjo song we are going to be teaching. We have lyrics and the words at our website at
http://www.fannbanjos.com/Lessons/cripplecreek.html
This is a good song to learn because it has everything that you have already learned in it. Take your time and I am sure you will do great.

Thanks

I have looked at every video, and this one is by far my favorite. perfect speed and explinations for me, I got the song perfect within 10 minutes as if I'd known it my whole life. Thank you!!!

Charle, it is just too fast. Your "slow" is just too "fast" for me. I know you do it several times but, even rewinding at least a dozen times I can't quite see what you are doing. I can play the basic cripple creek but, I like your version. Unfortunately you are playing way to fast for me to figure it out.

I just picked up the banjo for the first time and am finding this so helpful. Plus Charlie has such a great teaching style and manner. I am a single mom with 2 kids and a busy job, so I have no time or much extra money for lessons. Thanks for posting this!

Really nice clear lesson, thanks!

For a while I have been looking for a straight-forward and easy to follow tutorial for this tune, and I think I have found it. I visited your site too, and it looks promising.

Best of luck with everything, from Sheffield in England.
