[@iangallacher6396]

Thanks again jim for all you do for the learner banjoist(is that a word) 😁

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for letting me help you learn 😊

[@smity7096]

You are the best teacher I've come across. I picked up banjo about 3 years ago. I wanted to learn it and foggy mountain break down was what I started out on with another guy. I got pretty good at it then a string broke. 3 years later I ordered 3 sets of strings yesterday. I'm going do your lessons now before I try foggy mountain. Thank you.

[@JimPankey]

You can do it! :)

[@banjomark9900]

You’re still my favorite! Sharing lessons like this shows everybody why 🧨

[@JimPankey]

Thanks 😊

[@dondert8741]

[@mntnmnmike]

Excellent thank you

[@JimPankey]

You are very welcome

[@Kinglymarker8988]

Lick # 10 is very close to a phrase in a Bad Company song -very bluesy❤❤

[@JimPankey]

You know, might just be where I got the inspiration….

[@charlesshepherd2004]

Baaaaaad Company!! 😅

[@Calico5string1962]

Grest stuff. Thanks!

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for watching!

[@charlesshepherd2004]

I get tired of hearing myself play 😂 I know, like 3 licks. Great video! I need some new ideas. 💡 thanks Jim

[@JimPankey]

Hope this helps!

[@dougriley8808]

If I can get 2 of these I will be happy

[@JimPankey]

That’s a good goal!

[@smokey3829]

Thank you so much for these 11 G-Licks. I’ve never thought to ‘collect’ licks; that’s brilliant. By the way, Lick #10 is MIA.

[@JimPankey]

LOL… go figure. Wonder where 10 went. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@fredcarruthers9672]

very helpful instruction-you are the best! Any chance that you might be performing live in the Chattanooga area this week?

[@JimPankey]

Not this week. Gonna be out of town for a bit.

[@ethanowings]

I'm learning little sadie and I've about got the hang of it😅

[@JimPankey]

Fantastic!

[@FrenchSissoko]

Affordable gold!🫶👌🙏🤘

[@JimPankey]

Thanks ☺️

[@lifeonsibuyanphilippines7212]

Please show us how they are used. (I am only on your lesson 4 for beginners :) )

[@JimPankey]

if you're only on lesson 4, this video is NOT for you yet.

[@lifeonsibuyanphilippines7212]

@@JimPankey yes..... That is pretty obvious, but it is enjoyable to see and hear.... And look to the future.

[@JimPankey]

You’ll get there! 😊

[@braydonbriggs5538]

Hey Jim I've learned a few songs because of you but I was curious if you could do a video on girl from the north country by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@AustinBradley-zt2cb]

Hey Jim, love the videos! This might be a more complex question than I realize but what makes these licks “G-licks” exactly as opposed to some other key or chord or note?

[@JimPankey]

Because they work over a G chord. They’re centered around notes that are found in a G chord, scale, or G arpeggio.

[@AustinBradley-zt2cb]

Thanks!

[@cliffordlewis5682]

Great video very informative,I’ve been playing bluegrass banjo since the 70s it’s good that there are the facilities for learning the banjo. Just one question could you please tell me the make of your thumb pick Regards Cliff

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. The thumb pick is from BlueChip.

[@mrjoeyman]

Lick #11 wow. Never heard it. Love it! Stealin it, lol!

[@JimPankey]

It’s a classic!

[@flintdavis2]

Old Licks! I thought it said lids. Because I love to polish, replace hardware and just showcase(in the case) my banjo than practice. I've got grumpy old neighbor that complains of any noise.

[@JimPankey]

Gotta love those grumpy neighbors. They need more banjo in their life.

[@ethanowings]

Howdy there!

[@JimPankey]

Hi!

[@huntert.chapman3775]

Turns out... I do like this kinda content 😉🪕

[@JimPankey]

☺️

[@lasses0450]

Hey jim, do you know any licks in 3/4 (waltz) timing?

[@JimPankey]

I do, and am pondering a lesson for the future maybe.

[@trevdoesweirdthings]

This might be a hot take but Foggy Mountain Breakdown is overrated. My family is sick of my playing because half of it is the licks in the song lol

[@JimPankey]

I only used it to easily demonstrate how you can replace licks.

[@trevdoesweirdthings]

@@JimPankey Very useful. Will definitely spice things up a bit :)
