Wow I found a person that acutullay thought correctly not like these other people who just play the song and you magically learn the song thanks

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. :) glad you liked it.

[@whatda5956]

My bucket list and obsession to learn before i die.

[@JimPankey]

You can do it!

[@Herr_Keystyne]

Hallo Jim! i really have to thank you. I learned so much from you i dont know how to thanks. Its almost 1,5 years of playing my banjo. Everyday for hours. Its like im addicted. I watched your videos over and over again just to pick that banjo like you can. And now, I got kinda like a band since a fiew weeks. They called me to a jam session at our "kirmes" (volksfest) I played the back up banjo for a few songs. I was so excited.😆 I just wanted to say you thanks. Thanks for all the time you invested, even at the time where your healthy was critical. Someday. I take a very long swim-walk to visit you and get my banjo signed for your name^^ Greetns from ger. Fabian

[@JimPankey]

Thanks so much for allowing me to be part of your banjo adventure!

[@VirtualWoodshed]

Excellent tutorial! No BS, no tab, gets straight to it! Love your teaching style. You da man!

[@JimPankey]

Thanks 😊

[@flashy5150]

I played guitar for 30 years but have always thought that the banjo killed all of the instruments. I am going to buy one. Bluegrass is awesome.

[@JimPankey]

You can do it. Keep me posted.

[@Knappist]

Remember seeing this film in 1977 when I was working in the states, always loved this song so it’s great to learn it at last, many thanks Jim 🤟

[@JimPankey]

Enjoy!

Jim teaches all the cool guy tunes !!! Thank you Jim, from the bottom of my banjo case.

[@JimPankey]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@samkornelis889]

Thanks Jim. Been watching your videos picked up a banjo just a few weeks ago an your the easiest one for me to follow

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for letting me teach you 😀

[@Terrysoddy]

Very nice banjo playing, and great tutorial

Thanks!

[@kugikugi8986]

Hi Jim! Thank you very much for your very helpful insctructions! I am very happy with your way to teach us the banjo. I have owned my Aria Banjo for 2 years but never really learned to play it. Maybe the only good thing about Corona is that I have the time to look for instruction videos. I started your class about 3 months ago and I can't get enough. Now I've started with East Bound and Down. When I was studying the chorus, especially the "loaded up and truckin'..." section , I assumed there was an "A" chord here in the original. Some "chord" sheets also show an A chord there. Your version appears to be a G chord lick (which in my oppinion also goes with the backing track with A). But then I saw a live video with Jerry Reed and I think the banjo player is also using an A chord. Nevertheless, I like your version and I try to get it into my brain and of course increase my tempo. Greetings from Switzerland

[@JimPankey]

That spot is pretty ambiguous... play the sound you like and try not to stress about it much. In the grand scheme of things it’s about what you like.

[@FindingAlabama]

Love this one!!

Thanks!

[@kaintuffin-qb5wu]

Another tune under my belt. Thanks Jim!

[@blainesenior9981]

Excellent lesson! I am starting to really get a better understanding of my banjo and how these licks are put together. Thank you so much! God bless you.

[@JimPankey]

Keep picking. You'll be figuring out everything that pops into your head.

[@brazilhead]

Awesome Jim! Thanks once again

Love this song. Just realized that you're on my brother colyns trading card collection.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. Yup, total honor to be on those cards!

[@Trailryder42]

Thanks for your videos Jim. After seeing this and a few other banjo videos pop up in my random YT feed, I just bought a banjo. Tried to learn it almost 40 years ago but was trying to learn guitar at that time too and the two weren't jiving well together in my head, so I sold it. I've come a long way since then and think I could do it now.

well done

[@JimPankey]

Thanks

[@maineguitarists]

Nice teaching Jimbo. I recently found your video's and being a guitarist learning to play banjo they have helped alot. I appreciate your easy approach to learning and just need to buy some bib overalls soon once i get some repertoire under my belt. MT

[@JimPankey]

The bibs will help! 😂

[@maineguitarists]

@@JimPankey I agree! They kinda go with the banjo style lol. I play some dobro so i guess it's time. I used to have a pair and the buckles always cut into my shoulders but that was along time ago before i had developed shoulders lol. Maybe they were too tight. I look forward to learning more. Your arrangements are affordable and easy to read. MT

[@elmonty2037]

This lesson is as good to listen to as the actual song, part by part prolonging & building up to the climax of the song ( a bit like edging 😄 ) Thanks Jim, im just getting started on Banjo with your beginner lessons but love to listen to this one, would love to see you do a banjo Six Days On The Road lesson too !

[@JimPankey]

Glad you enjoyed it; if maybe just a little too much. 😜

[@JimPankey]

I'll probably get to Grandfather's Clock soon... working on getting it somewhat "normalized" for KZbin

[@diggerman6495]

Hi Jim, I’ve been picking up some great stuff from your teaching on here, much appreciated.Just wondering about your d-tuners on your banjo if you could give me any info on them like how much they cost, are they good comparison to the Keith or Shallor d-tuners, where I can buy at a fair price (I live in uk so duty from America is costly) any advice would be appreciated.Keep up the good work Jim.

[@tylerjones934]

Can you also play dead stunk and home on the range turkey in the straw on the banjo as well as back up lead banjo stuff please

[@philipt54]

sounds great Jim But a little hard.

[@JimPankey]

Well, yes. Not everything is easy. 😀

[@davidcarlstedt79]

How does it work to buy tabs by sellfy? Do I always reach it from the link? Or do I need to save it on a device?

[@davidcarlstedt79]

Whoops. Trying to buy from an iPad was a bad Idea.

[@JimPankey]

It’s a good idea to save it...

[@swissmatic5283]

any chance you know where we could get some tabs for this song? I have looked all over and cant find anything good

[@JimPankey]

+matthew hamilton check the video description. I just added a link for the tab.

[@budmoore8144]

im having trouble figuring out how ur doing those hammers at 1:47 and 2:22

[@JimPankey]

bud moore right hand is 4231 while left hammers to the 2nd fret on the 4th string

[@pickinpaddy5842]

How accurate are the tabs to this video? Seems to be a couple differences between the 2, maybe typos?

[@JimPankey]

...and therein lies the issue with tabs. It's better to take ideas you know and try to emulate what I'm showing in the video instead of rushing to the tab and trying to find a shortcut. Truthfully, even when I demonstrate the tune in the video I play it differently each time. The tab probably has more than just a couple of differences simply because I play by ear and then try to tab something as a close approximation at best. The way I present it in the video as well as the tab is Just a framework to build from, not "the way" the song is played.

[@Portrayalpress]

@@JimPankey Chords, basic roll structure....teach a man to fish! :-) Thanks for a great video.

[@PFW1999PKT]

@@JimPankey Good to know, I was trying to play along but can't keep up with you so went to tab so I could slow it down but it sounded different. I'll just have to try and pick up the gist and figure out what's different

[@blairwed]

tab available to buy to go along?

[@blairwed]

@@JimPankey Thank you sir. Money is on its way to you.

[@watchkdot]

Would it be possible to post a video of a slower play-through of the whole piece? Intro was easy enough to get a handle on, then you go over all the "song" pieces from 1:36 to 5:40 slowly/thoroughly straight into playing them all together at 5:40 at a fairly quick tempo (for me at least), and I'm finding it kind of hard to make the jump to assemble the song pieces together/play along at that speed. Thanks either way!

[@JimPankey]

+Kevin Dawe here's another take of the video where I break it into smaller chunks. Maybe it'll help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmq6gqGpl6hqZ7s

[@JimPankey]

Thanks?

[@aquadevida3797]

Hillbillies are awesome. I aspire to be one. I aspire to play the banjo like this one day too. You did Jerry Reed justice

[@TempoDrift1480]

That is fuckin bad to the bone.

[@97awhite]

Much too fast. Take more time to explain it slowly like the lessons. Some of us can’t move through it that fast.

[@JimPankey]

If you can’t move that fast, spend more time practicing the basic songs; you’re probably just not ready for this one yet. This is not a beginner song to learn how to play on. You can always use KZbin’s slowdown feature. Plus, there’s a tab available.
