Formal petition for Eli to name his banjo "Banjela"

[@alwaysflushinpublic]

Christmas day in my house is now being called banjo day as that is how long I must wait for my new one~

[@ferrolblackmon4637]

the way it sounds. That's why we're all here.

Names for your banjo: Clarice, Georgia, (Lots of songs with the name Georgia) Mabel, and my favorite, Diane (after me :) lol)

[@danawalker55]

16:20 Mine would be Reuben. Love Earl's version, but mine not so much. Really enjoying this, Eli. Thanks for sharing.

[@codychalmers896]

I live in Louisiana. Might need to find a Cajun jam and bring the banjo

[@MattBrownsDream]

Thanks for the camera & mic info!

[@doggiedoright1000]

11 years? Well that gives me hope!!! 😀

[@scotimotti]

Love it!

[@Dphoto45]

The perfect name for your banjo is Clair. From the song by Gilbert Sullivan of the same name..

Hey Eli, I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial on “get in line brother” and can’t find one, if you could make a tutorial on that when you get the time I would appreciate it!

I play my Cordoba guitar fingerstyle I believe the Banjo should be than hopefully easier but I think it will help me getting into the picking. What scares me is the speed. I am very interested in getting a Banjo my question is I really don’t want to get very expensive one but also don’t want a super cheap one either because I do have the enthusiasm to play.What brand do you recommend?

[@josephobrien991]

I can't remember how to access your lessons. As far as I know I'm still a paying member.

[@flatlander6734]

Just curious. With several banjos to choose from, what influences your choice of which one(s)? to take on tour???

[@ProfileP246]

I use a 94 Gibson ESS and I would never part with it but you need to play first not all banjos are equal, I would say it’s pretty close to pre war.

Came for the banjo content, stayed for the cat content. Win/win.

[@onetimeonthegoodfoot]

Nobody asked “what’s with the hair?” I’m surprised.

[@jacobalexander7192]

My banjo is named Sadie

[@LittleTravelChannel]

I have a PDF poster for music theory that I designed while learning banjo. If interested in getting a copy to share please message me through any of our social sites (east to find under our name)

[@zacherymahoney12]

Where are you getting all these Gibsons

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Friends, Craigslist, BanjoHangout, all over!

[@BillysWild]

Why does everyone I’ve seen on KZbin references everything left hand/right hand. I’m left handed with a left handed banjo. I wish everyone would reference it maybe like picking hand/fretboard hand. I wish everyone would realize not everyone is right handed.

[@gegloos6837]

Most people, including left handed people use right handed banjos

[@BillysWild]

@@gegloos6837 I’m left handed and have and play a left handed banjo. I can’t play a right handed banjo.

[@ProfileP246]

@@gegloos6837providing it has a left handed neck😂

[@onetimeonthegoodfoot]

I’m left handed and always felt lucky that I got to use my dominant hand as the fretting hand. Never understood why anybody would consider an instrument to be “handed” since humans don’t naturally do either “end” of stringed instrument playing.

4 banjo names: John, paul,george,and yoko.....Just play yoko when you're feeling hateful...... Then buy a 5th banjo so you can call it Ringo
