Shot and edited, then realized my Les Nessman moment. Had bloodwork today, and guess I was just comfortable with the bandage. lol

Jim, I've been playing for 60 years. I'm not too bad, but I still find plenty to pick up from you because you're that good of a teacher. I used to slow down Earl's playing from 33-1/3 to 16-2/3 to first learn FMB note by note when I first started playing my Kay Banjo at the age of 15 . . . 62 years ago. Now I play it on my 1994 Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard and several other "Rich Era" banjos in my collection. You're the best banjo teacher I never had. Keep up the good work, my friend, the Bluegrass community needs you. And, as you know, you never stop learning.

[@JimPankey]

☺️ thanks

[@joshlane6718]

I put my banjo down 3 years ago when my wife and i had a new baby. The 3 year old got into my stuff the other day and dug out a pack of strings i had. I took that as a sign and have been picking around today. I'm so glad to see you are still putting out excellent content. I have some catching up to do and your videos are what helps me most. Thanks and God bless you.

[@JimPankey]

Welcome back!

[@Noknife99]

Pretty crazy that you have been uploading for almost 20 years Jim. You're a true saint.

[@JimPankey]

I’ll have to have a big celebration for 20!

[@user-fg6sb9lg2j]

Hi Jim started with you about 4 years and as many banjos ago when you brought sunshine into my life. I take this stuff down to the beach and practice to the surf, keeps me coming back to you topping up and having fun. Kind regards Tim

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for letting me be a part of your banjo journey!

[@markfields863]

Just stumbled upon you today. Just bought a banjo after taking a 20 year absence from playing the banjo. You are the best teacher ever. Thanks and as soon as that Banjer gets to my house I will be back.

[@JimPankey]

Awesome! Keep me posted on your progress.

[@lefty5string]

still showing me stuff i never thought of all these years later

[@JimPankey]

Makes me happy to be able to do that!

[@tonystacey3347]

Another massive helping tip there. This just came up an hour after I asked a friend to include a “moveable closed chord licks” into his workshop in a fortnight. How bizarre! Thanks again for the continued content - love it! And I’m uk based !

[@JimPankey]

Glad I could help!

[@tonystacey3347]

@@JimPankey lots of folk here in the uk start out with your really good vids. I tend to dip in and out when I see the subject of your content. Anyway, keep up the great content - it travels really well to Uk 👍🏻🎶🪕👍🏻

[@louloucooke1]

Thank you Jim. Another brilliant tutorial

[@JimPankey]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dsclaud]

Cool! I started playing banjo about five months ago. I've been rolling through chords, which still sounds great to me. I did a couple of jams (thank god there were like three other banjos in the ensemble behind which I could hide my incompetence). This will be very useful. Maybe in another five months I'll venture a break during one of the jams.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for watching 😀

Just found your channel, and i have already learned a ton! Awesome content!

[@JimPankey]

Welcome aboard!

[@danawalker55]

I enjoy your videos a lot that's why i subscribed. I've picked around 40 years, the only way i can learn songs is tab. I know you preach talk before read,, but that doesn't work for me. I've tried everything including the Murphy method. I wish i could because my banjo journey would be easier for sure. Keep on sharing videos and I'll keep ordering tabs... Thanks!

[@JimPankey]

glad I can help. no tabs for this one though. the only way to ever get past using tabs is just to start experimenting and applying all the things you've learned.

[@nicolasgr4806]

i love always your tutorials cheers Jim and thanks !

[@JimPankey]

My pleasure!

[@KielePope]

Jim, you make things seem so much easier and more obvious. I appreciate how you break these concepts down! 😊

I'm just glad I can help!

Thank you unc for your wealth of knowledge that you give for free. Just started playing and i'm so glad i found your channel. Love the shirt btw😂

[@JimPankey]

Thanks and welcome

[@michaelridings9444]

Hey Jim, really thankful for your video's. I always loved the banjo but never thought I could learn to play, until I found you on KZbin. Now I have just made it through your lesson 10 and still have a lot to learn, but very excited about it. Thanks again for all your help. 👍🇺🇸

[@JimPankey]

Great to hear!

I meant to ask about the SOB t-shirts I really want one, where do you get a v neck?

[@JimPankey]

@@roxajenkinson I don't think I can get those in v-neck any more.

[@roxajenkinson]

@@JimPankey I'll buy one anyway. Thanks

Nice it helped me learn banjo!

Really cool Jim will be up again practicing this thanks like to see more. Have a friend that plays melody chords and small runs I suppose all the time like to catch on to this thanks been watching you a long time your very inspiring

Rock on!

[@stephansudarenko9237]

I think i will buy the banjo on my birthday

[@JimPankey]

Awesome!

[@diggerman6495]

Jim I love your teaching technique, I also like the sound of that banjo but I cannot make out what make n model.

[@JimPankey]

It’s a Recording King M5

[@diggerman6495]

Thanks for that Jim, keep up the good work, you make learning simplified 👍

[@burroc5536]

Did you post the link to the other up the neck video? I’d like to see it!

[@JimPankey]

Yes, it's shared.

[@keithreutter4253]

Jim I love your content and I wish I could play a banjo or guitar but my finger tips just make it to hard to get clean sounding notes. Press on one string and do a roll I get nothing but dud sounds from my finger touching 3 strings instead or the not that I need to play.

[@JimPankey]

That's a practice issue and not a finger issue. People with all sorts of hand and finger shapes play. You just have to stick with it; it's not something anyone can "just do".

[@josephbenedictsartorius4202]

Do you think you could do a video on the banjo break in Snake Charmer by Balsam Range?

[@nathancrowe6522]

Any tips for pull offs it's being a pin in my side right now

[@nathancrowe6522]

Awesome thanks and thanks for all the videos I would be lost on the banjo if wasn't for your channel it's helped me a lot

[@davidstanich9369]

Where have u been Hey would you have anyone to recommend like KZbin Jim pankey type beginner fiddle teachers?

[@JimPankey]

Been right here. Still doing a couple of videos a month. Wish I had a solid fiddle teacher to point you to, but I don’t.

[@bloke1348]

So it's the root note of the chord you tend to move around is it ?

[@JimPankey]

That’s a pretty good strategy

[@skunkape5918]

[@JimPankey]

Thanks

[@joefeldpausch]

You should design a T-Shirt that says, “You Can Do This-Jim Pankey.” Just sayin’. Thanks for the consistently great, yet simple lessons🤘🪕

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. ☺️

[@davidskimin9674]

Great video Jim. Jim any chance of you doing a video on Mike Redman 10000 reasons. Ive been looking at it for months and can't seem to get it. Davy.

[@JimPankey]

Find the chords. Play rolls through the chords. You shouldn't need a tutorial for that part. That's how it all starts. Beyond that, you'll be looking for a custom lesson from someone. I'm not that person. lol
