49 Bluegrass Banjo Endings!

[@RenoScruggs]

All your videos are great I love what you do. In the long C endings it’s a toss up between 2 and 3 for me. Great job

[@RenoScruggs]

And 4

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Congratulations, you’re this week’s String Giveaway winner! Send me a message by email, or on instagram or facebook so we can get you some strings!

[@chieficeworm]

My favorite ending is the enduring "shave and a hair-cut, two bits".

[@JoeBanjo88]

Great topic, Eli!

[@kjskipper]

The vocal ending #7 in C and D is my favorite, but I like all of the options that you've presented here. Thanks much for posting this!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you!

[@JayPHunt]

Absolutely, my favourite is Long G ending # 11.

[@Chris.Massimino]

There's only one way to end Pike County Breakdown, 1 crooked measure + 6 measure tag lick, yeah jam buster every time. My favorite is a tie between C Long Ending #3 and #4, a real nice variation on a farewell blues ending! :-D

[@brucejohnston6184]

Just this video has given me a glimpse of the depth of your playing experience. Somewhat daunting at 60 & only 2 years playing, but I'm very grateful for you imparting some knowledge. Such is the essence of folk music, I think. Thanks Eli💕

[@eriknielsen4902]

Long ending in D #2 will be put in use for sure! Sounding great in whiskey before breakfast... thanks Eli!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Erik, good idea!

[@timh8490]

Such a great video! I’ll be referencing this one for a long time. I never noticed the pattern of vocal tunes and instrumentals having different length endings either. Glad to know that now!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Happy to help! And there's even more endings than these!

[@paulfoytack5267]

Thanks Eli! I know what I'll be working on this week.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Paul!

[@jpachter1]

A very helpful video! I've definitely gotten bored with the handful of endings that I typically use.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you! Nice to see you at Joe Val!

[@Nelvis3]

Long G ending #7. This melodic G ending is the one that jumped out at me. Thanks!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Love that one!

[@barrywebber]

Thanks for posting these. My favourite was long g ending #7. Which I will be learning later!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Glad to hear it!

[@davidhellens7127]

awesome as always thank you Eli

[@lliamperkins3153]

Gotta say i liked the G vocal ending #8. Love the videos!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you!

[@65DavidH]

This might be my favorite video of yours yet. My favorite ending is Long G Ending #11.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you!

[@barrybouchillon5966]

Eli does such a great job. Most of theses I have wanted to play. G ending #8 is one I am gonna work on.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Barry!

[@robbiewiles6445]

Thanks for another great video! You’re a great resource to have- makes getting reacquainted with my banjo sooo much easier! I will definitely be using G ending# 13 thanks again

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thank you so much Robbie!

[@jaguarsunburst1570]

Another Great Stuff.!❤❤❤

[@joshuaperkins3930]

Great topic. G #12 is my favorite here, very Crowe.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

I agree!

[@sammoore2677]

Thanks for the video...good stuff!!👍

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks!

[@ricksebastian2943]

Great video always need more endings, I like the #7 long G ending the best, but they are all great.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Rick!

[@tedburton8987]

Nice job, as always! Having just started working on banjo in November, I like all of these but I will probably work on the Long Ending #7 first. I like the mix of melodic thrown in.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Ted!

[@astro781]

My fav is the Long G Ending number 12, because.....well, that's what Earl did.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

If it’s good enough for Earl, it’s good enough for me!

[@cleveallen938]

Another great video Eli! I've been playing for over 45 years and a vast majority of my endings,especially vocal songs, are the same,so this video is extremely helpful for this old dog! I was wondering if you would tell us what type of camera you're using because the audio and video are very good.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks Cleve! I’m using a Canon M50 with a Sigma 16mm lens, and an Azden mg250 shotgun mic

[@markglore7196]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This one's goin in the book! (Gonna need a new pencil!) 👍😉

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Glad to hear it!

[@niallmckenna648]

I think Long G Ending #11 (Foggy Mountain Chimes ending) is missing an eighth note on the fifth string after the 9+11 bend. Love this collection nonetheless.

[@bigshinytone]

OHHHH! Long ending #8 @4:15 is the Knotty Pine ending. Thank you!!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Good ear!

[@severinneukom]

Thank you thats very helpful!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Glad to help!

[@cowboy742]

I liked Long G ending #5. I heard a note in there that kinda set that one apart from the others.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Glad you liked it!

[@mikew5423]

Long G #8 is my favorite ending. Lots of these are great though.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks!

[@WorldBluegrassDay]

Two stand out to me: C Ending #6 and Long G Ending #11. Is Patreon your main site for posting tabs and videos? (if it is I'll be joining soon as I really like the style of your videos/lessons)...

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Yes! I post all the tabs and any bonus content to Patreon.

[@hapkidocharlie2009]

Awesome!

[@Banjoslow]

Nice video should help lots of pickers!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks!

[@JoshuaAdkisson]

I prefer Ending #1. Simple, good.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Nothing wrong with simple!

[@ThirzaTumTum]

I like long C #4, makes me think of haybales slow moving creeks :)

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Nice!

[@midnighttoker8663]

Long G ending 8 is the best obviously!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

One of my favorites!

[@midnighttoker8663]

@@EliGilbertBanjoconsider posting a slowed down version of Knotty Pine! You've written a wonderful tune

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Rob Jackson Thank you! Maybe I will!

[@eightyoctane]

“G Ending #7”!

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Nice!

[@BanjoBillyBob]

[@rbfour5]

I’m going to need three sets of strings after practicing all 49 endings! 😎

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Ha!

[@andrewgabel3856]

I like Long G ending #5 1

[@alanread8468]

Can i purchase just this video

[@ElsieDIY]

Ones I want to learn 1:20 and the one after

[@KG-Punk]

My favorite ending is the one before it all starts. You use it as background music when you change screens. And oddly enough it didn't make the list. I was hoping it was there.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

That lick is in the Rare J.D. Crowe licks video!

[@KG-Punk]

Thanks
