    Hi DA,
    I am a novice and think calling out the string numbers would help people like me to pick up these different roles.

    Beginner player and struggling as well, I can relate to your teaching better than most online lessons, thanks..

    What a great lesson. I've just bought a Banjo and this makes sense of banjo picking. ( as compared to my previous experience on guitar.)
    Thank you. Subscribed. 👍🏻🇬🇧

    Great job! I really appreciate your focus on which fingers pick which notes AND that you included that in your tab (something that others don't do). This has given me a number of "drills" to practice over and over, slowly increasing the speed. Once I get that down I'll change chords as I practice these drills, especially while practicing the thumb lead on different strings; that will allow me to accent the root of each new chord. Thanks again.

    great lesson - been wanting to learn. Bought a banjo over a year ago and can't get past the note reading and melodies like "Mary had a little Lamb". Rolls and real bluegrass songs are what I was looking for! Glad I stumbled onto your channel

    It seems your fingers lag the string sounding on CZcams video, but got the concept, thanks.

    A metronome is ur best friend to keep from loping the rolls.

    What make and model banjo is that??

  • @maxwellfan55
    @maxwellfan55 Před 6 lety

    Are melody lines generally played over the square/alternate roll rather than the forward roll?

    • @dabanjo
      @dabanjo  Před 6 lety +1

      Melody lines can be played over anything. It is usually more simple to play them over the square roll, and that will sound "square". The forward roll adds a syncopation to the melody line, occasionally picking melody notes with the index finger as you roll through. This is all a matter of style and taste though, each player tending to prefer one or the other more frequently.

      I really don’t know the word, ‘syncopation,’ but I sure understand that rythmic sounds. So I just catch it by ear. Persistence, Patience & Perseverance pays.
      By the way can you also give examples of a song you can apply those rolls on. It helps a lot since we would be able to identify the 2/4 or 3/4 beats etc. Gospel tunes? Honestly, you teaching & explanation work for me. Just 8 mths now and rolling and stumbling on😄. Love from M’sia.

    Nice lesson, except the video lags an eighth note behind the audio -- kind of confusing.

    A nice lesson which, as a beginner, would have taught me a lot, except for the fact that the sound does not correspond with the finger/ thumb movements. Rather off putting
