Jim! Thank you so much! This Kentucky boy is sitting in Manhattan wishing he was home. I'm feeling less homesick the more I learn

[@JimPankey]

Glad I can help you feel a little bit closer to home!

These wee vids are lovely Jim. Makes me appreciate how far I've come along from your 10 lessons. To say I'm grateful is an understatement.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks so much ☺️

[@TiNBoY63]

I don’t even own a banjo let alone play one yet I still love these videos

[@JimPankey]

Might be your sign to get a banjo. Thanks for watching too!

[@karenflynn6589]

I LOVE these shorts. This is EXACTLY what I need to be able to learn!!!

[@JimPankey]

Awesome! Keep me posted on your progress. 😊

[@ivanmarkovic8499]

There is a lot to learn from you about banjo and playing. Motivating and smart videos. Thank you

[@JimPankey]

My pleasure!

[@ShortyBilly]

I'm 62 and have always loved the sound of a banjo. I bought one 3 years ago, but never really got in to practicing regularly. Now that I see your banjo in a minute lessons, I'm inclined to pick it up and try again. Absolutely love hearing you play, you are an awesome teacher as well sir!

[@JimPankey]

Go for it!

[@ShortyBilly]

@@JimPankey Thanks you so much for the encouragement and will definitely be using your videos to help me! Thanks again!

[@LONESTARPIONEERING]

Got it

[@JimPankey]

Awesome 😎

[@salllysum]

Thank you so much for these videos! I finally bought a banjo after years of wanting one and your energy has made my journey a bright and enthusiastic one :)

[@JimPankey]

Great to hear!

[@angelak634]

Kudos on doing these shorts I think it’s a great idea Jim

[@JimPankey]

Glad I could help!

[@Buttonstastica]

You're the best Mr. Pankey. You and Mr. Hicks should do a video together sometime, I believe you are both in Georgia.

[@JimPankey]

He's not too far from me.

[@brendanreid5852]

Thank you so much for making these videos much like you stated in the first video of this series I did indeed buy a banjo and then never learned to play it but a year later I’m determined to learn and these videos are perfect and your words of encouragement help that little extra bit

[@JimPankey]

Glad I could help!

[@picklesucker4450]

[@williamgregory1848]

The strong male urge to learn the banjo

[@JimPankey]

Do it!

[@Ishootbirds12g]

Wait, so are you picking your finger up while still touching the string or are you just holding down as hard as you can while sliding?

[@JimPankey]

You keep pressure on the string while sliding

[@Ishootbirds12g]

@@JimPankey how do I prevent it from making a kind of jumpy sound?

[@danielmafturack1441]

My finger tip keep touching the other strings ugh

[@JimPankey]

Keep trying. You can do it!

[@They_call_me_ACH]

Social finger keeps catching string 2 in slide 😢😢

[@They_call_me_ACH]

Or string 4

[@JimPankey]

Keep practicing. You'll get it.

[@southernkid8109]

I'm 12 trying to play a small banjo

[@JimPankey]

You can do it!
