Your videos have made it possible for me and now my grandson to pick up the banjo and sound pretty decent. It will be a year for me in November - even my wife recognizes some of my banjo song attempts.. Great tutorial

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for letting me help you learn 😀

[@frankdittmer8540]

JIM, I always appreciate your love for sharing and teaching. You're the best!

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for letting me be a part of your banjo journey.

[@DaniotheManio5]

Jim you for real have opened up a whole world for me. This has been so exciting. I've played overhand for years by myself but never really got into jamming with others. Now that I'm playing bluegrass banjo it's like a world has opened up and I've been playing others and I just can't be more grateful for you and your love of the banjo and your excitement in sharing it with others. From the bottom of my heart thank you sir.

[@JimPankey]

Glad I can help!

[@JimPankey]

Thank you. You’re too kind.

[@roxajenkinson]

You have no how much this helps me. Thank you Jim. Taking the time to teach us things like this is appreciated it’s a rare thing for someone to give so much of one’s self so often. The English language has two small words to describe a vast wealth of gratitude…Thank you

[@brucejohnston6184]

Yeah, it is helpful thanks Jim. So much of what we hear played can lead you to think it needs to be complicated.

[@JimPankey]

Glad I can help

This is the key, the key to pulling out your banjo with one of the hundreds of acoustic guitar players youll meet and being able to play a break AND fade into the background, which is equally important

[@JimPankey]

That's good :)

[@ryantrahan4942]

[@martycruse4525]

I'm just learning and I am very very happy I found your site. Banjo are soooo limitless on sound. I would like to learn how to play with a lot of sass.😅😅😅 Might you make a sass video?

[@JimPankey]

Sass, eh? I'll have to ponder on that. :)

[@Eric_000]

Hey jim, could you do a chicken reel lesson one day?!

[@JimPankey]

I've not played that one in years....

[@nathanlester5054]

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate you!
Quick question; any tips on getting the pinkie to 4th feet while holding the D7 chords? So far, my hand doesn't want to stretch that far.

[@JimPankey]

No tips really, just keep at it. You’ll eventually be able to reach it.

[@nathanpoirier2654]

Can you do country blues?

[@louloucooke1]

Hi Jim are you GDGBD? thank you

[@JimPankey]

Yes

[@gp-banjo]

Thanks Jim. I prefer rolling backup over vamping. Probably just the consequences of listening to so much Doug Dilliard.

[@JimPankey]

There’s a time and place for both.
