Learn to Play - John Henry in D Tuning - Bluegrass Banjo

[@AlbrittonTribe]

Thank you so much Jim that"s my favorite arrangement for that song now!!!!!!!!

[@JimPankey]

Thanks ☺️

[@reekiegardner2599]

You’ve inspired me to buy a banjo again and make another attempt to become the player i wish i could have been when I bought my first one nearly 20 years ago

[@JimPankey]

You can do it!

[@kevinfay4062]

Love this! One of my favorite Scruggs tunes!

[@JimPankey]

Same here!

[@lasses0450]

Thanks for the video Jim! I haven’t got much time to practice lately because I’m sick. Hopefully I’ll get better so I can practice a little more.

[@JimPankey]

Get well!

[@ct4883]

Sounds great. I'm learning it now.

[@JimPankey]

Great!

[@TonyLake920]

Good eve Jim thanks for all the content been Bing watching have been wanting to learn banjo for a couple years. I inherited a 4 string banjo 4 years ago and peaked an interest will be purchasing a 5 string when my disability check comes in next month and be watching everything again only this time I will be participating.

[@JimPankey]

Keep me posted on your progress when you get your banjo

[@TonyLake920]

@JimPankey what is your opinion on the recording King RK-R20 that's kinda the one I have been looking at to start out with

[@DaveS-b8k]

That's a great sound, thanks.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks ☺️

[@davidstanich9369]

Hmm which song to learn next

[@Davy-pj8mu]

Morning Jim love your playing can you do a video on aplatchen rain your the best teacher for me ty😊

[@familyonamissiongo4790]

Have you ever done a tutorial on lost gander (wild goose chase)? Would you consider it sometime? Thank you

[@tumalo710]

Thanks for sharing your talent sir. I’m a subscriber.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for the sub!

[@christophermedvetzsr.9184]

Thank you so much you teached me how to play thank you I love the sound

[@JimPankey]

You're very welcome!

[@JoeBoppyBop]

I was just figuring this song out in G the other day, but I love Earl’ break of it in D! I’m excited about this one! Also, I’d love to learn Earl’s break on Careless Love and Someday We’ll mMeet Again Sweetheart.

[@JimPankey]

Enjoy!

[@lexzola]

love your videos so much, jim! if you ever made a tutorial for kacey musgraves, step off. id love that so much

[@JimPankey]

Sounds a lot like a 6 string guitar banjo... Probably won't do a tutorial for that, but if you've been thru my backup series and can find the chord changes for the song, I bet you can sort it out.

[@lexzola]

@@JimPankey i’ve been transposing it from using a capo on a 6th string banjo to playing it regularly on the 5 string without the capo. it’s workin out fine but i’m just lazy.

[@jeffmiller2434]

Hey Jim. I was looking for the song tabs for this song but all I could find was John henry in g tuning. If I tune to D and use these tabs will it be the same ?

[@JimPankey]

[@jeffmiller2434]

Thanks Jim

[@wildbanjoman99]

Love this, always liked the D version. Charlie cushman has a really neat low break to this that would be perfect to practice back and forth!

[@JimPankey]

Enjoy!

[@CrimsonYetiCartoons]

Awesome song. One I'm interested in but don't hear much is Old Joe Clark. It's a fiddle tune but my Uncle played it on his banjo a lot. It seems simple enough for a beginner lesson; what do you think?

Can you come out with a lesson on how to play God gave Noah a rainbow sign? clawhammer style? 😄

[@jacquesmongis9871]

Bravo

[@JimPankey]

Thanks ☺️

[@davidlee-vm9ub]

VERY NICE and playable arrangement based on Earl's version.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks 😊

[@Davy-pj8mu]

Hey Jim I don't no how to read tabs im worse then bull in China shop

[@JimPankey]

Maybe I should do a quick lesson on tabs… I’ll give that a little thought.

[@tomjacobson631]

It is 9:13

[@tatehoward8678]

Interested in a how to video of Polly Vaughn by the dillards

[@JimPankey]

It would be a very short video since the banjo part is just a couple of measures…….

[@josefdetzer3260]

🥰🪕Love it is,isn'it?

[@JimPankey]

😍

[@lavadamullins2954]

Just wondering if you could show us how to do bends. I struggle with this, but probably just need to practice more! Idk 🫤

[@cammiepatch301]

Hey it would be great if you would put QR codes on your tab sheets to help find the corresponding video, and vice versa. You have a lot of videos now and it takes awhile to search through them.

[@JimPankey]

Interesting idea! Of course putting my name and song name in the KZbin search works too

[@cammiepatch301]

@@JimPankey yes but the older I get, the more challenging that gets. If I’m watching the video on my TV I have to get my phone out and search for the tab (which I love btw(the tab, not the search)), and if I’m print the tab up, having the code right there next to the actual web address is very handy.
