You're the man ! Just picked up my first banjo last week, and am working on your beginner lessons. I'm fighting the urge to mess around too much, trying to stay on path! Thanks for being a great guy and putting these out there.

As an Idaho born man playing banjo I greatly appreciate this video about potatoes and banjos, my two loves together finally.

[@sickcivilian1569]

I was so confused at first with the potato’s, I watched this a half hour after it came out and had to come back today to try it, it works amazing with me and my friends to stay in a spot, i just had a session with my buddies, and they found it helpful too, thanks!!

Loved the collection of musicians, and the why behind them. I always used them to 'get in the groove'

@@JimPankey so I have learned Cripple Creek in you 10 part beginner series. I dont play it perfectly but working on it. When should I go on to the "next step"/song or should I stay at Cripple Creek until I have it perfect? Or i go on but keep practicing until things come together? Thanks for your teachings, your disposition makes it cool to learn.

[@JimPankey]

You have to be happy with your current situation before you can move to the next…

[@GiovanniMPM14]

Would love to see you do a break down walk through of Red Haired Boy like Bill Keith did with a great sounding potatoes intro. Go for it Jim!

Hey Jim, I have a little sister who really likes stephen foster tunes (camptown races, oh susanna, etc). I was wondering if you could do a bluegrass banjo lesson for one of those old tunes.

[@josefdetzer3260]

Rosted Potatos I love and Banjo music.

Potatoes. boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.. or use them to warm up a tune

[@JimPankey]

[@evanramsey2654]

You got here before me =(

"Go get your banjo!" Jim please put that on a shirt, mug or cap.

Now I knows about the taters!! Thanks, Jim!

[@julianwitte]

Thank you for all the potatoes.

[@JimPankey]

Any time!

[@roecocoa]

I've been looking for exactly this information for a long time; I had no idea it was called "potatoes!" Did you know there was a racehorse named Potoooooooo? His name was pronounced "potatoes"- pot-eight-o's 😀

[@JimPankey]

Great trivia!

[@richardmcbride4579]

Hey Jim, thanks for another great lesson. With Saint Paddy’s day coming up, any chance you might post a lesson on “whiskey in the jar“?

[@JimPankey]

I dunno, a song about whiskey might be risky. 😂
