[@valium4016]

devlin guenette thanks mate, though best to learn it before i skip to the full on song😂

[@zachthorn998]

The banjo is is the first instrument I've tried learning and I'm glad this is the first song I can play

[@skeltonslay8er781]

I’m currently saving up to by my first banjo so I can learn. Any tips? I’ve never actually been able to play any instruments before

[@zachthorn998]

Skelton Slay8er Nice dude, the best tip I have is to be consistent. I played everyday and now I can play tons of songs. I took a small break for like 2 weeks and I already got a bit worse. But after playing again is was easy to get back into. Also if you want a good series of videos to learn I recommend Jim Pankey kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqTaeKOmma-mlcU

[@nielsbuma]

Same here man this is my 2nd song but still it’s a lot of fun :)

[@viniciusfrayzedavid9424]

I know it is an old message, but if you could me giva a tip on something I'd be thankfull. I play the guitar for some year (not a great guitar player, but ok). I'm trying to learn to play the banjo, but I can't get used to that "thumb pick". Any good exercise for this? Greetings from Brazil.

[@ashishmeshram5057]

This is the most American thing I will hear in my life

I wish I was in sunny Alabama, I live in England where it rains all year round 😢

[@user-rl3ts9zd4w]

@@MotormikeyD it's currently a heat index of 105° F right now and 100% humidity. You might want to come in the fall! 🤣 Greetings from Alabama friend.

[@MotormikeyD]

@@user-rl3ts9zd4w haha, well now you put it into perspective, I'm glad it's raining here most days 😄

[@user-rl3ts9zd4w]

@@MotormikeyD it rains here most days too! 🤣 But never long enough to cool anything off, just long enough to replace the humidity.

[@NL-tq1yr]

Wow they named their state after this song, amazing

[@Tellr9]

with your banjo, play the song "Thank god I'm a country boy" by John Denver

[@yukon2445]

It's a good idea.

[@barrylebel7037]

i just love this sweet home alabama song in the banjo

[@corpseofchrist4620]

One of the coolest things I've seen played on the banjo 🤘

[@patriotrob7066]

Started playing banjo in 7th grade 1978 took many years off. I am playing again and this is awesome. It's funny I had a medley I did on stage with my band. And as a surprise I would whip out the banjo and do parts of this and led zepplin with some pearl jam mixed in and Finnish with some Bella fleck sounding dittys!! The crowed would go ape shit😊

[@adamm4064]

Cool I love this song it was the first song I could play on guitar. Now it's time to learn it on banjo.

[@gigglecheeks123]

Adam M me too, sweet home then more than a feeling Boston 😊

[@randyl9071]

That was fun. I wish I could play. But it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I'll just listen and enjoy.

[@bustermerritt2303]

Don't give up Randy!! I'm 63 and just learning to play!!!

[@philgray1023]

Great adaptation to banjo!

[@Themheals]

That is so good. You are moving the banjo out into the open when you write these tabs

[@linda_guitar8869]

OMG, I LOVE this! This is perfect for my new banjo student at the School of Rock music school, which will accept students looking for banjo lessons, because they've got me on staff, but the school is really all about rock music! :-)

[@TheZmgforever]

Your brother is my humanities teacher :D he the best. P.s. your music is pretty awesome too :D

Thanks a million bro. Stay happy.

[@rdaugherty52]

Damn that deserves a thumbs up !

[@tbs055]

Hi, I like how your banjo isn't ear-splittingly twangy. It's a clean sound. What's the brand/model? Thanks.

[@merlynschutterle7242]

Looks like a Deering peghead and it has Deering on the head.

[@BRIAN_IVERSON_20]

i can’t tell what brand or model, but it also might not be as twangy because of that nice resonator

[@RoccoFlamefart]

By golly I believe you got it!

[@geolabuk]

This is beautiful, many thanks...

[@timothyriley4209]

Great job! Sounds awesome.

[@jamesnash8857]

God I hope this is easier than it looks 😳

[@robertburleson2450]

WOW! Sounds great!

[@Beehutman]

Love this and try this on my old 5-Srting-Banjo. Very good tutorial! Txs! Bought right the days a 6-String Banjo, just for titles like this. My old 5-String comes now closer to me! Tx!

[@kitcartel9390]

one day I will get to see Roll Tide from the UK

Alabama Man: ''Will you teach me how to the banjo? I wanted to impress my girlfriend.'' Banjo player: ''Sure thing.'' Alabama Man: ''Sweet, my sister is going to love this! Banjo player: ''Didn't you say you wanted to impress your girlfriend?'' Alabama Man: ''What's the difference?''

[@Diegoluthier]

Your web site is great. Easy and clear.

[@ohjusteatthesteak]

do you think you could possibly do Cherry Wine by Hozier? I think it would be beautiful on the banjo

[@MrOrange7108]

You need to show us how to play Simple man

Epic video my man !!😜

[@Lou-cf9hq]

Hey Banjo Dude! Great stuff. I'm curious, what gauge are you using on your banjo strings for this video?? I'm having some trouble with that 2-3-4 hammer on on the wound 4th string you do. Sounds awesome!

[@Guitaristlife-dn9ou]

I don’t play or own a banjo but it’s beautiful

[@martinockl3424]

Thank you so much for the tabs. You are amazing. 😊

[@happybanjodude]

You're welcome 😊

[@pineapple_vr469]

The sustain on your banjo is ideal, in my opinion. Is the Kavanjo modified in any way? What amp are you using?

[@TheRycooder]

Where can I hear you play the whole song in regular speed? thanks, nice video!

[@robertcolgan4433]

In this video

[@TheRycooder]

I"m supper into the banjo!!! I've been watch a few vids and searching a bit. What brands do you suggest? Also my friends play on stage and i would like to join them. Are there any good electrics you recommend? Or should i just use a microphone? I'm looking at a budget under $1000

Love playing the song, is there anyway you can show the solo's?

[@timtravasos2742]

Nice, but that second chord is supposed to be a lower bass note than the first. Very good overall though.

[@thebuilder5884]

Hi, I'm a 40 yrs playing 12 stringer but I've always wanted to play banjo. Retired now so have the time. 4 or 5 string ?.Closed or open back ? many thanks

Awesome,nothing like this in the UK.

[@2drsdan]

Interesting sound. I was hoping it would be possible to turn the volume knob down so low it would actually make the banjo quieter. ;)

Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes please!!!

[@frankfahland6861]

Hey Happy Banjo Dude. There are so many options when it comes to amplifying a banjo. My guitar player has a row of foot pedals in front of him that do all kinds of things. I'd love to give that a try. Do you know anything about what I would need...want....use?

... I'm learning to play the banjo and trying to follow the tab for this piece, however, watching your fingering in the intro, it doesn't seem to quite match the tab ... can you enlighten me?

[@chrisbryant1657]

Agree. Tab doesn't match the version being played here.

Please please pleaseee. Do make this leap by the hunts.
