Very nice! Great lesson thank you!

[@RicBergstrom]

Most excellent!!!! Really loving this...Perfect for when someone breaks out "She stopped loving her today" or some old country crooner song at a jam.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks!

[@codychalmers896]

Thank you for this! I play a lot of country and Americana type stuff and bluegrass doesn’t always fit super well

[@leeadams6809]

Eli this video is awesome! Tastefully played backup really accents or adds to slow songs or songs of every tempo. It’s such a huge part of playing and I wish every teacher would teach this! Learning the lead parts of songs like I did leaves you out in right field when it comes to playing slow songs in a jam. Killer lesson buddy!

Thank you Piero!

[@toddhiggins7381]

That's great Eli, you've got the taste in music of someone a little more age....which is a tad older than you are ;) So many of todays don't play backup like this. It's almost a lost art it seems.

[@jerryhancock7097]

Great. Just what I wanted!

[@peytonsimons4406]

You should do the chain gang blues how Marc priest does it? Also thanks for the new video I’m gonna check it out now

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks I’ll check it out!

[@Jdluke61]

Great lesson, i already have more troubles with backup than solos, thank you!! Ps: Can you tell something about your banjo? Sound amazing.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

Thanks! Its a 1935 Gibson tb-11

[@Jdluke61]

@@EliGilbertBanjo i owned one with a Silvio Ferretti neck and a Yates no holes unplated tonering, they are good candidates for great conversion projects.

[@EliGilbertBanjo]

@@Jdluke61 Very cool, I bet it sounded great!

How do I get your banjo tablature for the lessons on flow back up

[@eugenelayton5231]

Hi Eli, I've been thinking of learning banjo. Are the Deering banjos a decent instrument to learn on? I can read music and have played guitar for many years so I feel I can learn banjo if I put the time and effort into it but I want a good instrument to learn on. Thanks.

[@charlesshepherd2004]

If Eli doesn't get back to you, yes Deerings are great starters. Highly recommend. You can always sell it, and upgrade too. ✌

[@josefdetzer8717]

Great

[@peytonsimons4406]

Spell checks acting up. I’m so sorry brother
