Learn to Play Man of Constant Sorrow - Bluegrass Banjo

Here’s a great tune that gets requested a lot. It’s not hard and if you’ve been through my beginner videos I bet you can knock this one out quickly! :)

this man is without a doubt the best banjo teacher on youtube.

“This man is without a doubt the best banjo teacher on YouTube”… could. Not. Agree. More. Absolutely without question.

Jim I honestly think i would have given up banjo by now if it wasn’t for you! Thank you so much!

Just bought my 1st Banjo, a Washburn B16 after waiting and wanting one for over 50 years. Your the guy who's going to take me the rest of the way:-) Enjoy your style, born to teach. Looking forward to growing with you! Thanks for what you do.

Just realised this may be the page to give honest feedback for Jim's tuition. It's been an excellent, very generous, friendly and approachable introduction.

Jim... I love it. I tell you... another fella has this in 13 lessons... you do it all in one and much easier to follow. Now, to be fair, I think the other fella adds a lot of other fancy stuff in it, and that is all well and good if you have been playing for years maybe, but your teaching style and lesson format is just so much easier for people like me who are just learning and get frustrated so easily. Thank you for making these lessons so approachable.

Such a simple set up makes it seem like he tutorial would be difficult but it surprisingly makes so much sense

[lindabohm]

Just bought my first banjo and Jim is my first teacherr, and what a great first tune. He makes it very doable. Thank you Jim!!!

[mikepettit]

Thanks Jim.I"m another beginner with the banjo. I went through your 10 beginning lessons and they were a great help, and now I'm learning "Man Of Constant Sorrows" How cool is that!! Thanks again for the lessons.

This was the tune that attracted me to the banjo, and now after lots of practice and your videos I can finally play it, although I've added a few bits of my own into it, I started playing a couple of years ago and completed your 10 lessons .I think I'm actually getting it now. So all the best from Scotland jim from a very happy man

Mate, I have been stuffing around with my banjo for years in Australia, looking for lessons, however have found them difficult to follow and sometimes boring. I've finally found your lessons and loving playing and improving. Thankyou Brendan

Just bought the TAB for this beauty, Thanks for everything you do Jim

I just got a banjo a couple of days ago and I never thought I could be up to lesson 4 with the help of this amazing banjo teacher. I have subscribed for more and can’t wait to go to the next lesson. Sliding does make your finger sore since I was practicing for about 4-5 hours yesterday. I am excited to learn how to play man of constant sorrow.

[jamesroberts]

I wish you lived near me. You are the best I have come across when explaining things.

[claimjumper]

I've been ex lusively using your videos to get back into my banjo. Got the free time now. Working on your old lessons 1-9. For some reason your teaching just works for me. Looks like you got a lot of videos. We practice everyday, sometimes twice.

[ekosovic]

just so you know people are still benefiting from all your videos from years ago — thanks so much Jim!! 🫶

I just started playing banjo and this was the first song I wanted to learn and this guy made it so easy to understand.
