Learn to Play - Salty Dog Blues - Bluegrass Banjo

Here's a great bluegrass classic! You'll have a lot of fun with these chord changes too. Practice a bunch and drag this one out at the next jam.

I'm playing my Recording King M5

I was heading to an appointment today listening to F&S and thought I need to learn Salty Dog Blues. I knew Jimbo would have a lesson on it. Thanks Jim!!!

Thanks jim for you great lessons .. so nicely explained. You make it easy even for an old man like me to learn!!

[charlesarnold]

This is outstanding. Thank you so much for breaking it down. Your teaching methodology reminds me of my teacher, Bobby Atkins. I didn't get to learn this one before he passed. Thanks, Jim. RIP Bob.

Still practicing all the other tunes, now I’ve got a new one to learn! We’ve just been through a major ice storm and 4 days without power.Practicing my banjo was the only thing that made me smile! Love your lessons Jim, thanks for sharing with us!

The banjo has always been my favorite instrument to listen to, keep thinking I want to try to learn how to play one but life keeps getting in the way. Thank you sir for these videos!

Jim i started playing when i was 15 i turn 40 in a few days we had a family gospel band, i quit plaing when i was 19 and started back up 1 year ago thank you for your leasons ive came a long way with what you have taught me. I look at the banjo in a whole new way. I only play by ear, can't read tabs very well it's to slow for me . Keep up the good work. I would love some more up the next lessons, though

Some new licks in there for me. I’ve always played that a little different. Now It’ll sound like I have added some spice to it. Love the ideas. Keep em coming.

Hi Jim, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Your videos are easy to follow and learn from. I am really enjoying learning to play! God Bless

[lynnglidewell]

Fantastic. Three different ways to play the same tune. I suppose you can mix and match them too. I'm a subscriber and anyone starting out or advanced can pick up great tips from you Jim. I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with the rest is trying to do better!

I got this song down in about 30minutes. It was fairly easy I thought. Thanks Jim. Now I can play 6 songs. You're a fine teacher. My favorite. You're patient with your teaching.👍😃

I really enjoyed this such a great tune. Been learning banjo for 2 years now and because of you and one other I have learned a lot. Thank you...

[kenbrowning]

Thanks Jim!! I'm learning a ton from you!!

[jenniferredding]

Love listening to you play!! I hope to get as good as you one day. Getting life to slow down long enough to practice is the challenge!! But I'll be learning from you and your videos! When I get there, I'll play for you!! God bless!
