[@charlesradville7605]

I'm really resisting the urge to grab the tab. I think I'm learning better by watching and listening to you.

[@JimPankey]

You can do it!!

[@charlesradville7605]

It took so long, but I got it! Thank you!

[@mikael8092]

Thanks, Jim! You're, by far, the best banjo teacher on KZbin!

[@JimPankey]

Wow, thanks!

[@mikehartigan8632]

Hot dang! When I heard Patrick Ross' rendition of Angeline The Baker on a Banjo Instrumental channel on Pandora a few months ago, I was blown away! I just had to play it. As a third year beginner on the banjo (who really has time for this?), I turned to my KZbin crutch. Unfortunately, most of the instructional videos use clawhammer for that tune, but I'm a Scruggs bigot, and it sounded ideally suited to that style, so I struggled, unsuccessfully so far, to get it just right. Then Pankey comes along and breaks it down so that, like so many other tunes I've learned from him, it's almost embarrassingly simple to play. Thanks Jim. Keep 'em coming!

[@JimPankey]

Have fun with it. Let me know how you do with it.

[@JimPankey]

[@sheilacrilly1830]

@@JimPankey haha, that’s nice of you, lol so would I, I’m learning from your beginner lessons now , you are a champ,

[@coldcasekids8445]

This one kicked my butt. I usually get through your lessons without too much difficulty, but this one for some reason ate my lunch. This is a great tune. I'm usually into bluegrass/gospel and I don't know how to classify this one, but I love it though. Thanks for the lesson Jim! I really appreciate you taking time to teach us banjo. God Bless You!

[@JimPankey]

Stay after it. You’ll get it.

[@KainTuffin]

Beautiful. Thanks Jim

[@JimPankey]

[@alexolivera3151]

Got my banjo today Jim! Diving right in.

[@JimPankey]

Excellent!

[@jrhollick]

Hi Jim, again it is a great excitement to see your clip an get your Tab. You are one of the most impressive teachers and so much helpful. I thank you very much again.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@morganchoi2491]

This one is still one of my absolute favorites of your tutorials. It sounds like pure magic when you play it. I just can't get it to sound even close to this, but I'll try until I do!

[@JimPankey]

I know you will get it!

[@charlotterogers8733]

Thankyou .....one of my favourite songs

[@JimPankey]

Glad you liked it!

[@ToolsAreToys]

Nice! We used to play this at our regular bluegrass jam sessions. Gonna study this so I can finally play it properly! Thanks Jim!!

[@JimPankey]

Have fun! 😊

[@Falco2807]

Glad you posted this! Been curious about learning it for a long time.

[@JimPankey]

Enjoy!😊

[@markglore7196]

Very nice! I'm gonna learn this'n! Thanks Jim!

[@JimPankey]

Have fun!

[@judwatkins9478]

Great addition to your series of videos, Jim. This is an old favorite, and it sounds awesome on the banjo in C or D. Thanks.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@rexheater2865]

Hey Jim -- another excellent video. Your enthusiasm for the music and the instrument comes through loud and clear. I had heard this a number of times at various BG festivals but never could get too interested in it....until I heard your version. Now I have another bluegrass standard under my belt. More Christmas tunes?

[@JimPankey]

Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I have no Christmas tune repertoire.

[@johnbremner1591]

This sounds very nice,must try this one later today,just out of bed.scotland here.

[@JimPankey]

Enjoy!

[@grahamangus9750]

Love the new tune, that will give me something to work on. Keep up the good work Jim.

[@JimPankey]

Have fun!

[@stanburbank6574]

Hey great Jim! Thanks a lot. Just what I needed!

[@JimPankey]

Great! Glad I posted it. :)

[@ffspo]

Ooh, this one is pretty! Thanks so much Jim! Looking forward to learning it soon :D

[@JimPankey]

My pleasure!

[@severinneukom]

What a cool tune.. sounds great🪕

[@JimPankey]

Thanks!

[@jamesparrant7030]

I'm so not ready ready for this lesson(only 3 weeks of ownership under my belt but I got cripple creek now). But I had to watch to hear how it sounds and I'm so glad I didnt wait. Now I'm going back to lesson 6 cos i gotta learn this banjo

[@JimPankey]

Get through the first ten, then tackle this one. 😊

[@tim1234567890b]

Great tune and tutorial Jim! I bought your 2020 tabs & find it much easier to learn with that too. Please do more similar to this & consider doing The Weight by The Band (I'm sure you get asked to do that a bit). Thanks from Sydney Oz.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks 😊 I’ve never tried to play that tune on the banjo.

[@garychavez1202]

Hey Jim thank you for all of the lessons! The other day I listened to “Red Prairie Dawn” and fell in love! Was wondering if you would think about making a tutorial of it? Thank you!

[@JimPankey]

I’m not familiar with that.

[@garychavez1202]

Jim Pankey thanks for the reply! You should give it a listen it’s a very very pretty song!!

[@grahamangus9750]

Hi Jim, any chance you could do a version of Cherokee Shuffle, would love to learn it.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Bordo430]

Hi Jim! Is there any chance you will make a video tutorial how to sing and play at the same time?

[@JimPankey]

[@Bordo430]

@@JimPankey Awesome! Like a banjo Christmas gift)

[@elhowardo]

After 10 days with this I can finally play both parts more or less at 3/4 speed. there's something about this one that is so tricky, i think perhaps the rhythm and finding it at the start When / if you do your "Expansion pack" videos I wonder if you could do perhaps one for this with an intro section to this one to lead into the first part (Pine Tree String Band do a nice version which i think is part of the second part, which then leads into the first bit). Anyway, family are thoroughly sick of Angeline the Baker so it's working! :):)

[@JimPankey]

Sounds like you're on the right track.

[@clairewagner4416]

hey, like your approach. wanted to get your TAB but the links don't work!

[@JimPankey]

They’re working for me… but try this: wildjimbo.sellfy.store/p/angeline-the-baker/

[@lasses0450]

Hey Jim, I just finished all the songs on the “learn these next ” playlist, what songs would you suggest learning next (songs that aren’t easy, but also not necessarilly hard)?

[@JimPankey]

At this point you should probably be looking and listening to Earl Scruggs and figuring out what he’s doing.

[@davidlee-vm9ub]

This tune sounds sooo much better on the banjo in the C position than the D position...IMHO

[@JimPankey]

It’s certainly easier to play out of C position

[@ToolsAreToys]

I cannot figure out why I'm finding this so damned difficult!

[@JimPankey]

Tunes are like that sometimes

[@banjovy-b2m]

my neck is getting a cramp ...i play this on fiddle dulcimer mandolin and so on

[@JimPankey]

Might as well add banjo to the mix

[@beehyde1455]

Which banjo is this? The one I’m using is borrowed and I love the tone of this one.

[@beehyde1455]

To clarify, I want to buy one that’s great but not going to break the bank. :)

[@beehyde1455]

Just read your description. This is the banjo I want... :) thanks

[@JimPankey]

Yup, it’s the RK Dirty 30s. 😊

[@johnboyette4710]

It would really be good if you had one of your students. Playing a guitar in the back ground. Lol.

[@JimPankey]

Haven't had a guitar student in 3 years...
