70 in June my first banjo arrived today....promised the wife I wouldn't buy anymore guitars...

[@daleradeleff900]

@@the195111 I did the same exact thing, after buying my 3rd guitar I told my wife I wouldn't buy anymore guitars except that I did buy another one...FOR HER!!! I played about 43-45 years ago and I turn 68 in November, but I digress. I saw a 5 string banjo for an excellent price and I bought it...and here I am looking for instruction ;)

[@the195111]

Dale,bet we've had a few instructions that end in Off

[@backseatpalace]

Been playing guitar for a couple years, picked up one of these at a barbecue and I might as well have never played a stringed instrument with how I sounded. This is insanely impressive

[@marcvandoornik]

Same experience here. Isn't it ridiculous how different a banjo is to a guitar? I had expected it to be at least vaguely similar to guitar, but boy, was I wrong!

[@Sinnerboy88]

My limited experience with banjo is it's all about the right hand.. whereas guitar is all about the left hand. Very little of what you learn on guitar carries over to banjo..and vice versa. Unless maybe if you play fingerstyle or something.

[@donaldp9259]

get rid of the first 2 minutes of two women listening to themselves talk and it's ok.

[@nothingisreal6816]

Well, the program is here for a reason. They're interested in the background and context. Otherwise it'd be a talent show. The performance is important, yes, but not the main part (it could be seen as one of the main parts, but discrediting explanations as "jaw-yapping" isn't true).

I had the fortune of meeting Flatt and Scruggs when I was 16 in 1966. They came through late one night and stopped at the gas station where I worked in the summer. They were in a black limo and were on their way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a concert. They entertained me a while with chat and music. It was wonderful.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Lucky you. I met Lester, I didn’t get to meet Earl.

He has company for life . Playing is wonderful

[@michaelpatton6487]

I have heard many kids under 13 play. The late Jimmy Henley was by far the most jaw dropping and he could pick the strings off a banjo at 6 years old.

[@bigdaddybrns9568]

I had no idea that he had passed! Just looked it up and found out that he died at the age of 56 from throat cancer. R.I.P. Jimmy Henley

Something about the brain when you are young is very absorbing of information. I mean consider you learn a language by ear when you are just a baby. Many GM chess players are also trained from young ages.

[@dovydas4483]

Age doesnt matter...

[@johnsmith6586]

Loved watching Jimmy Henley when he was a kid. Just saw him on a rerun of Hee Haw from the 70's when he was 12 or 13 just last week. So sad that he died. We were around the same age.

I never understood why guitar and banjo players think they are good when they can play fast. Articulate playing is much more interesting as it can tell a story, but just playing fast is like you are trying to win a race, which is not music.
