And regarding 'anchoring the last 2 fingers' just look at Steve Martin's right hand. His hand id flailing ALL AROUND and he's NOT anchoring ANYTHING! . He's a great banjoist!
@GaryLPuckett Жыл бұрын
Actually, he anchors his pinky. His ring finger doesn't anchor but follows his middle finger. And yeah...he's terrific! I'm not saying you HAVE to anchor your finger(s). The vast majority do, but if somebody can play the want to without anchoring, more power to them!

Hi Gary, I agree 100% with you on the power of a slow banjo song and its beautiful sound. i only started playing the banjo a few months ago but am already totally in love with the music. I would be very happy about the tabs for amazing grace. Best regards from Bavaria andy

You don't have to touch the head at all.
@GaryLPuckett2 жыл бұрын
There are lots of ways to play the banjo. For Scruggs based technique, the vast majority of players find achoring the right hand gives a more stable and controllable right hand. If you don't need to anchor more power to you. But with most of my students we work on anchoring.

@@GaryLPuckett Yeah, they should try to keep a finger on the head, if it comes naturally. But my fingers just naturally come off the head, especially play Irish/Celtic and Bluegrass Rock.

Good stuff. For beginners you may want to also watch Clifton Hicks because he goes into styles beyond Scruggs and clawhammer. I thought I wanted traditional bluegrass but I'm finding two finger with drop thumb very interesting.

I changed my hand position tonight as you showed. Incredible difference in accuracy and resonation. My speed increased because of the little change in my wrist angle. And I ran a few rolls I've struggled with and they played smoothly! Thank you, thank you!

Gary - thanks so much for this video. The info about keeping your right shoulder relaxed and your elbow down really helped me. That gives an arch to the wrist automatically, but it also helps keep the picking hand relaxed. I also sometimes had a problem with my pinky damping the first string because I was pulling my hand back more towards the fourth string. Keeping the hand more centered over the middle strings helps with that.
