I was over complicating these. The way you explained it clicked in my mind. 🎉

You can make up your own rolls as long as they are in time. Here is a nice inside roll 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1 Sound really good with a G chord and an E minor chord

THank you!!! I fingerpick guitar, and "banjo rolls" freaked me out. HOWEVER, you explained clearly and slowly, and now i know: its like fingerpicking!! Muscle memory will get me through, this is

ive been thinking about learning banjo for a while, bout 3-4 months. most banjo guides ive seen are all in some fancy studio or somthin along those lines, but then i come across your channel and it feels like your a buddy showing me in the side yard. its a lot more comfortable, plus the way you teach and take the time to explain is real easy to follow, i think im gonna head into town tomorrow before work and actually pick one up. thank you for showing and ill watch your guides and keep along

After 30 years of guitar, now a banjo. What great videos. The tranquility and the clear explanation in combination with the images, I am very happy with it! Thank you Mason for your great lessons! Greetings from the Netherlands

Decided to learn following you alone. Thank you. Using a Donner dbj200 here. Five string bluegrass setup.

You just made something click for me! You said the rolls are the sequence of your fingers not the strings. I don't know why I didn't realize that sooner. Now maybe I can get a little better. Thanks!

Great to see you two together. Interesting video. I changed for a heavier head, a decent bridge and got my washburn B9 professionally set up. Made an incredible difference. Doesn't stop me wanting more banjos though....meant to post this on the video you did with Mr

Great video! I'll have to come back when I finally get a banjo 😄

[sarahelizabeth]

Thank you, Mason! Now if i can keep my ring finger to stay put...i'd be golden.

I'm moving to n.c. to homestead and have always wanted to play the banjo. Wife told me it'd be pretty sexy if I learned how to play bought one on ebay and this is the kind of video I need thank you.
