Mike bro! You have the finest website for banjo restring work! Better than Deering and others because you have great camera angles, whereas other instructors move to quickly with poor camera angles- they do not take into account that some viewers may not know as much as they, said instructors move to quickly in their videos. I was hoping you were still online as the only string I have had problems restring is the one that goes halfway up the neck. Thanks for your informative video.

Are you able to tune to an A without the spikes? As a newbie I’m afraid to break my strings since I don’t know how to put strings on.
@MikeHeddingMusic16 күн бұрын
You should be able to but be careful tuning it up. But I'd recommend looking at getting a 5th string capo or just playing the song without a capo and just play it in G.

I've been playing the mandolin for a year an a bit now, only recently getting into the proper picking. An I can happily say I'm at the slide and harmonics stage, but that bluegrass stage is gonna take some work!

Is Melodic banjo the same as Chord Melody banjo?
@MikeHeddingMusicАй бұрын
No, quite different. Melodic banjo is a style that allows you to play note-for-note melodies which is different than Scruggs style which normally approximates the melody. Chord melody is a style where you play the melody while playing 2-4 note chords at the same time. Basically playing the melody and harmony together. - Mike

Amazing how much knowledge you packed into a simple tune like this. I find myself dipping into your catalogue more and more as I progress on my banjo journey. I've introduced your material to my banjo instructor, and he likes it so much he is mentioning you to his other students. Thank you for all the work you put into this content.

Only 5 strings ? CAN U use ordinary acoustic or electric strings ?
@MikeHeddingMusicАй бұрын
I'd recommend getting banjo strings as they will be the correct gauge. Guitar strings are going to be quite a bit thicker.

Hi Mike the 'pinkie' exercise is great, I'm 82 years young and just learning to play the mandolin. I find your lesson very easy to follow. I have to slow the speed a bit so I can follow your lesson a bit more closely (it's an age thing) once I can follow I know playing will improve. I enjoy your lessons and appreciate how you teach improvising even simple lick. So a BIG thank you from Western Australia Cheers Alan Lee
