Jon Eric playing Cripple Creek on the 5 String Banjo

The 1st tune I had EVER learned on the 5 string @ 9 years old taught to me by Larry Jett.
No "frills" just pickin' and my way of giving back for what music has given to me!

Wow Jon, you are just fantastic! I've been playing for several months now and I'm not a fraction as awesome as you. Have you got any tips to keep me motivated?

Cheers!

Just keep on pickin' ! Wishing you nothing but the best in your banjo journey!

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help as well. The right hand roll patterns

done VERY slow to build up will increase in speed on their own. It just takes practice

and MUCH patience. : )

@RoscoesRiffs Just in time for Halloween! LOL Thanks buddy!

what kind of banjo do you have?

@ghsr82

This is a '88 Stelling Bellflower Archtop (bought used).

I have now owned it about 5 years now. Honoring my

late Mother (RIP) with playing music on it in her memory.

Hi Jon! Great stuff... I loved it! I'm from the UK and 63 next month... but I'm teaching myself banjo and this is brilliant to be able to watch and listen to. I've played guitar for many years but recently felt that I'd like to give the banjo a go... I have a picking style on guitar so that's not a problem in itself... it's the 5th string that takes some getting used to, though! Anyway, thanks for this... I'll look at your others too! Best wishes!!!
