Wagon Wheel-Banjo Lesson

[@JamesShelton59]

Great instruction. Thank you for sharing! 🙏

[@mitchzeitz]

I already knew a break for this one, but all these backup ideas are awesome. Love this lesson, because it covers it all. Thanks Eddie!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Cool Mitch. I previously did something with this in Banjo Newsletter, but I like how this turned out much better.

[@jetboyracing]

Great video as always. I really love that you showed how to sing a long with the chords. I wish more people did that.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Great feedback. Will keep that in mind for future videos as well.

[@Vilkages-Mike]

Another great job Eddie. Thanks for all your contributions to the banjo community! The music lives on.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Always appreciate the positive feedback!

[@JCLunda]

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thanks, Larry.

[@olehippy13]

hey, ive been teaching myself how to play the banjo over the yesrs. Earl was one of my heros. i like your style.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Always nice to hear the vids are helpful. Thanks

[@lukewarren7857]

Sweet Thanks

[@chuckvandyke9918]

Nice one,Eddie,, love it.

[@randysolvang9056]

Awesome!

Good lesson. I'm doing the simple version you began with. The circle of guitar players at my senior center will be surprised when I start playing this on Banjo. We've done it guitar for years. I'll have to take my time with the solo till I'm well practiced. It's still a challenge staying in Rhythm with them on songs simply playing Bum Diddy. I can see good progress in me as a beginner however from your videos!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

That is great to hear Lynn, good luck with all your picking!

[@joshrickard8493]

Awesome!! Can you play that in that "Boom Chic" sound or style. I love that style

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yes, there are different approaches that could be used. Just sharing things that I personally do.

[@genekinde1193]

Great tune Eddie. Going to need to learn this one.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Especially if you want to be rolling in the $$!

[@johntait491]

WW is a great tune. I play it on fiddle. As you mention it is an often requested favourite. 😉

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

I gave up on my fiddle playing...cool you can do both

[@jbcardin]

Very nice version! Thanks!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thanks Ben, it's obviously been done before, so I really wanted to rework it to where it really captured the melody and then the feeling with the fancy backup.

[@iamjustaguy9777]

I love these videos. Best Banjo lessons Iv found, Ill be putting a few bob in your tip jar as soon as I make a paypal account. Have you considered a patrion?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thanks so much. I did have a Patreon, but found it to be just one too many thing to keep updated. I do enjoy making these videos and plan to keep it going with the support of folks like yourself. Happy picking!

[@joeconti3236]

Great lesson…is there a banjo tab for this, and if so, where do I find it?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yes, always check the video description where I state whether or not there's a tab. Please send your request to [e-mail]

[@cw_shifflett15]

I'm a bigginer banjo player. Slowing learning. I wish you would start out slower, though. Thanks for your help!!

[@archiecairns2731]

Hi Eddie, Quick question. In Measure 7 of the High Level Backup 'C chord' you illustrate the first string with a tie. How do you play this ? Two 8th notes or 1 quarter note? I have always been confused by this when I see it written in TAB. I would tend to play it like a quarter note creating a slight pause, what I think of as breathing space. But I am interested to hear what you think.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Archie, you are right, it is a quarter note, but written that way because it begins on the "and" of the beat instead of on the beat. You can hear the pause as I play it.

[@archiecairns2731]

@@EddieCollinsMusic Thanks Eddie, another TAB mystery solved.

[@banjosforbreakfast6086]

I like this lesson! I think the song gets a bad rap because it wasn’t really a bluegrass band that put it on the map. Who knows. If Charlie Waller was still around, maybe the country gentlemen would do it, and everyone would be OK. Lol!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

You're probably right. Think Earl Scruggs Revue doing You Ain't Going Nowhere. It had been done by the Byrds w/o banjo, but it totally worked in a more bluegrass style.

[@TheMerlinshawk]

nice video but needs to be longer for beginers

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

I appreciate the feedback,
