That’s a great tune, Jim! Thanks for sharing!

[@JimPankey]

Glad you like it!

[@MountainHomeJerrel]

Hi Jim! Happy New year! Hope you had a great holiday season. Wishing you all the best for 2024. Cheers, matey!

Happy new year!

I am learning clawhammer but if I were going to venture into finger picking, I'd learn some of these melodic style songs. This is fantastic. Please post more

[@JimPankey]

I have a playlist shared of all the melodic style pieces I’ve taught.

[@MadHawkins]

What a coincidence to have this pop up on my front page today, Jan 8th! I've always played this starting on the first 2 strings 4th and 5th fret. Gonna dig into this version today.

[@JimPankey]

Most fiddler's play it in D, so felt like this was a good way to get started thinking about it.

[@frankpuryear3844]

Looking forward to getting home.
Thanx Mr. Jim

[@JimPankey]

Have fun!

[@fredbazoo]

I have a huge favor - my favorite all time song is "Early Morning Rain" by Gordon LIghtfoot. Peter Paul and Mary also covered this song. I would love to see what you could do with this on the banjo melodically (I hope that is a word) Again, thanks fsor all you do for we banjo newbies!

[@morganclonce]

Can you do Wild Hog in the Woods, Country Blues (both clawhammer tunes) or Old Dangerfield next? If not, anything in old F is always appreciated 🙏🏻

[@JimPankey]

Here are some lesson notes for Old Dangerfield. It's not for the timid. lol

[@user-zl8jn9ew5k]

How about Catfish John for a lesson. Have searched all over for a lesson and Tab and it does not exist.
Thank you, I have learned a lot from you.

[@nrgnotavybxrl9737]

whats up!!

[@JimPankey]

Howdy!

[@JoseGonzalez-pz2qq]

I would like to purchase the TAB but I seem to checkout as a guest on your PayPal.

[@JimPankey]

I wish I had a better solution. That guest feature is quirky.

[@jerrypettusii5534]

What’s that thing at the very top of the banjo that keeps the strings straight called

[@angelak634]

Hi! How fast should this song be?

[@JimPankey]

Totally your choice. I think it’s pretty played a little slower like I did in the demo.

[@angelak634]

@@JimPankey ok cool ! Thanks! Excited to dive in !

[@TB-zp1gr]

I can't watch this guy as you always have crooked neck and I suffer arthritis it's a shame really but I will have to find someone that doesn't snap my neck lol all the best to you all

[@JimPankey]

[@davidstanich9369]
