[@carolynjanes2754]

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! This is what I have been looking for. So excited to see this video! Thanks for this.

[@tylerhouston9746]

Well this helped, was greatly appreciated, and was the best simple explanation I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@nathanstack5158]

This is probably the best Tutorial video I've ever seen on playing Open back! Thank you, Steve. Just learn the chords and your fretboard becomes a playground of possibilities. n.

Hi yes very good have you any tips my nails wear down very quick

[@videovigilante8428]

Have you open Pandora's box or what! Great lesson

[@MitchMb14]

I go backwards from that. I think about what notes are in the triad I want and figure out the finger positions from that. And I keep a diagram of the circle of fifths for reference.

[@darrellkershaw1514]

Great lessons! I like the theory vids

[@eugeneknapik]

Excellent.

Glad I could help!

You didn't do much strumming in this video. You don't seem to be doing bum-dit-ty here. Are you doing 2 melody notes (with dynamics) and a thumb instead of one melody note and a strum and a thumb? Or are you doing ONE melody note then a thumb?

[@StevePlaysBanjo]

Yeah it's kind of a messy blend of bum-ditty and bump-a-ditty. I've been trying to use the full strum more sparingly. Still learning. :)

[@Lostnfound1973]

Thank you!

[@StevePlaysBanjo]

My pleasure!
