@ltgrasshoppah Sweet! Just remember, it don't have to be hard.. It does have to be fun, otherwise, what's the point? hahaha

I have been watching you banjo video's for quite some time now. You have inspired me to get a banjo. I found a GREAT used Deering Goodtime 5 string at a good price. Now, I can start learning to play. Thanks for posting these!!!!

@wx5nco  Awesome! That's a good banjo to learn on!

Does it matter if you use middle or first finger? and what is your tuning? im really new to this. Thanks for the awesome tutorials i love them!!

@TheSandersInc No it doesn't matter. There's lots of tunings for a banjo, Standard G is GDGBD, G is 5th string, Good luck with it.

@joachim95687 Yep, that's the way it is.  Clawhammer is made for fun. Scruggs Style is made for torture. I'm glad you've been redeemed.. hahaha. By the way I've played at a lot of convelesant homes too. Good gig, if you can keep 'em awake! haha

As I was about to quit trying to play the Scruggs style banjo after 18 months of lessons from guitar teachers,I was drove 40 miles away and found a claw hammer teacher who had me playing in a week and now a year later I have my first gig at a convelesant home .Thank you for the encouragement and your video's

@RyanFalls That was a hundred year old Lyon and Healey tenor that I converted to a 5 string. Don't have it anymore. Swapped it for a Dobson ladies banjo..
