    Hey Guys ,thanks for the support. Means ALOT in this day and age.Its great to have an outlet where "real world", actual players ,can support one another. There are a few more tunes that have very challenging tuner action like Banjo Buck, Big Tiger Roars Again ,HSH etc.that are worth internalizing.I went through this tuner "phase" first in 81, again in 95, NOW, its time to drive people CRAZY once again...LOL

      Hey! So glad ya stopped by girl. Yeah, these operate by a set screw stopping the tuner at a B note HIGH pos, then an A note LOW pos. You can set them any way ya want...Gtrs use whats called a "B bender" .Its ULTRA cool as well!.. Now...for YOUR piano?...Mmm?...Well?...ILL THINK A SOMETHIN!...🤡😇🙃

    Hey Jeff, thanks for the support!..Theres ALOTTA tunes the D tuners can participate in. Vocal tunes are great since their melodys are more structured on down beats with a more even spaced beat structured. I used to teach via SKYPE 2008-2012 but got a nasty virus and really havent accessed SKYPE since. Hopefully, its safer to use now???..Message me on here if you'd like and we can talk about it in detail.

      If your heart is set on Keith tuners, Id watch E bay and the classified ads on the "Banjo Hangout"..They're outragious in price nowdays at the internet stores...If not, check out "Cheat a Keys".I really like their QUICK action.Only prob with those are is that they each turn the SAME way..Ive been using Keiths too long to change..LOL...Also, check out Schaller D tuners...They're alittle cheaper and most reviews over the yrs have been good.

    • @Rehdman6444
      @Rehdman6444 Před 7 lety

      Thank you for your advice. I checked the places you mentioned but, my heart is still set on the original Keith tuners. The Schaller tuners certainly look tempting at less than half the price but, at my age, I am more interested in quality than price. Besides, I don't mind substituting steak with Spam. Properly prepared, Spam is not bad. Have a great day.

    I got a banjo for my birthday last year. Never got past the forward backward roll. I got discouraged because I just can't see it being in any tune so it seems pointless. I really want to play tunes like this.

    • @JOHNKUHNMUSIC
      @JOHNKUHNMUSIC  Před 3 lety

      Oh NO Mizzy? say it aint SO? Have ya completely given up? Actually Fwd bwd roll (#1 TIMT-MITM) is very much a foundational roll used in "lilty/ bouncy" LONG spoken phrasings, who's melody candances "slowly", even at 140 bpm, unlike melody's comprised in square ( T alt), or Fwd rolls..I used to teach 81-83, then again 94- 2015, and developed my OWN method of "speaking" banjo, using the R side brain ONLY (no tab)..You learn to speak before ya knew the alphabet right? You DONT think of ALL the letters in a word before speaking it ....right?..ROLLS are only important in the beginning to get the R hand to create a flow of notes without stopping, and when breaking a tune into sections, it can be benaFISHAL to reconise the "types" of roll configs for PERSONALITY reasonings.( I could show you DRASTIC contrasting using 2 different configs in the same tune.One you would LIKE, the other would DRIVE YA NUTS, BUT???...BOTH could be "right"...LOL.. Again , its the "personality" you want to come across AS the tune candances along, either DRIVING or BOUNCING...( see what I mean?)..It makes a HUGE HUGE difference how a beginner first start "processing" whats going on , or what they "percieve" is going on which sadly, can often be totally WRONG, as far as the reality of whats supposed to take place at a more advanced stage..In other words, you may have been TRICKED..LOL..If you'd like me to make ya a file on "perception ", then using THAT to create some simple melodys, which will be the thre main foundation for figuring/creating ANY melody, no matter HOW advanced, leave me you E mail, (must be able to recieve 25mb , like g mail), and Ill make ya a couple files that will get ya off to a MUCH MUCH better start...about 70% of learning to play the 5 is GUT LEVEL determination..Ya gotta LOVE IT... ALOT...(before "IT"...loves you BACK..LOL)

      @@JOHNKUHNMUSIC I've taught myself, piano, recorder, guitar, bass, piano accordian, saxophone, clarinet so I decided to try banjo because I find it fascinating. The lessons on CZcams take you from forward backward roll to a song like grandfathers clock. I can't find intermediate steps or lessons that show how forward backward roll is applied in a simple tune. Very discouraging.
