  • G'day Cobber,

    I've been playing for six months. Just come across your Clip and Web Page. Love ya work. Thank you for instructions that are accurate and precise. I have been able to pick up and play this song comfortably in a very short time.

    Thanks again

  • Hi Dave,

    Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

    Rick

  • I watch all of your videos and love them. You do a great job.

  • Thanks so much for the comment. I appreciate the feedback.

    Rick

  • I can't follow this without the tablature but watch your lessons often and will try to play with the tab. I like your teaching and thank you for doing this! Anyway, I am a beginner and play a Deering Good Time and it works well for the likes of me (plus I'm a woman and appreciate the manageable size). When my ex moved out, he left the banjo (a gift from me) behind as a parting stab. And what a gift that stab turned out to be.

  • I have a Goodtime too and I love it - especially for the weight. The main thing with this song - and all songs really - is to hear the timing. You know the melody. Sing it first and then try to make the banjo sing it. If you have specific questions just shoot me an email.

    Rick

  • It all depends on your budget, but I just bought a Deering "Goodtime" banjo and like it very much. I was looking for something a lot lighter than my Gold Tone "Orange Blossom" The Goodtime is pretty inexpensive, very light for a banjo, and has a nice tone.

  • What kind of banjo do you recommend for a beginner? I've been playing guitar for 10+ years but am interested in learning banjo.

  • Excellent! I'm so pleased to hear that. Take it slow and have fun.

    Rick

  • wow! I just started playing and know next to nothing and you still made this really easy to understand! Thank you so much!
