Cumberland Gap | Bluegrass Banjo Lesson with Tab

[@buynsell365]

I ordered my banjo today ........ can't wait for it to arrive so I can get started. Your videos have been a lot of help for me to choose the right beginner banjo and keeping me excited about learning to play.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

That's awesome, you're gonna have so much fun!

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

You're one of the very few people on youtube showing (play along) and giving away the full tab for free. A real blessing to people who cannot afford lessons.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

Glad to do it, when I was learning as a young teenager I couldn't afford to pay for anything so I was very thankful for the people who did it like this. 😄

[@rustysimcox1735]

Good stuff young man.. I'm 62 ad just picked up the Banjo a year ago. Great lessons.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

Thank you sir 😀

[@spencerhall7157]

Thanks so much for this tutorial Mason! I've heard Cumberland Gap played in clawhammer lots of times but never in Scruggs style before. Your videos are always on point.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! 😀

[@Christian-Knudsen333]

Thanks!

[@BanjoChuck]

Love your lesson man! I a \m a clawhammer player trying to learn bluegrass and your lessons and tabs on Patreon help tremendously!

[@MasonCroneMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@jamesjamieson3659]

One thing I'd find helpful is if you could play each song through at full speed at the end of the videos. Just so I know what I'm aiming for. Love the videos though, please keep them coming

[@MasonCroneMusic]

I did it at the beginning! 😀

[@MasonCroneMusic]

You can just skip it back.

@@MasonCroneMusic thanks

[@mychannel4255]

Could you do more lesson videos please

[@MasonCroneMusic]

I will be doing more, I've done lots of others you can check out in the meantime though!

[@kylenobes1]

Not exactly bluegrass but Charleston Girl by Tyler Childers would make a great lesson 😁 Charlie Woods & Deep Hollow do a great version.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

I'll look into it!

3:26 replay for full tab.

[@gerrypower8350]

👍👌

[@MasonCroneMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@trippytree3889]

does it matter if I cant keep both my pinky and the 4 finger planted on the drum head or is just the pinky fine? feels like I physically cannot move middle finger without moving my 4 finger no matter how hard i try 😅

[@MasonCroneMusic]

It's not a big deal, lots of great players experience that same thing and they just anchor with their pinky.

[@donaldfair4259]

Mason what is your favorite banjo strap width ?

[@MasonCroneMusic]

No idea, I just got a strap... I wasn't specific about it 😂

[@wyatt1153]

You need to put up some simpler beginner songs.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

I have lots of very simple ones up... Check out Boil the Cabbage Down, Cripple Creek, John Hardy etc.

[@wyatt1153]

@@MasonCroneMusic Those are done. Thank you. Can't get my ring finger to stay down on the head when moving my middle finger.

[@MasonCroneMusic]

@@wyatt1153 That's not necessarily a problem as long as you're still able to pick efficiently. Lots of great players don't anchor their ring finger.
