Hopkins Jesse: Hello Patricia, I just wanted to comment on the banjo I first bought to learn on. If you are not wanting to spend a whole lot on a beginner banjo, I think you might like the Epiphone MB-250. That is the one I learned on and I am quite impressed with the sound of it. You can buy one...

Have you heard this before?Andrea Oberheiden: I’d love to learn a nice (and not too difficult) version of Oh Susanna. I haven’t managed to teach me that myself yet. It might be such a cliché tune, but I love it:-) I’d be also thankful for some more tablatures. Thanks, Andrea

jani: For me, the driver buying a banjo comes from Neil Young’s “My Boy”song – banjo played by Bela Fleck. My wife is pregnant and I thought that I MUST get the banjo and learn the intro and chords of this song. Naturally I would like to see this song intro, and also some...
Retha: Ryan, I’ve been looking for the tabs to “Pardon Me” by the Cox family. Is there any available??? Thank you! Retha Cole
Heavy Duty: Hi Ryan, Over my journey of learning to play the banjo, I found myself way too dependent on tablature. That said, I have found what works best for me is: 1. Having the song played at a medium speed and then at tempo. 2. Having the instructor explain the right hand picking pattern and...
kchittenden: It seems to be a problem with Internet Explorer 8. When I use Firefox, it works. So….I will use Firefox!Ryan: You’ll have to purchase a licensed version from tabledit.com. Thanks RyanRyan: Tina, hello this is a good question. Send me an email at ryan@banjoexpert.com and I’ll give you a little free banjo lesson via skype. I think I can really help you out with some chording. Thanks, RyanRyan: Hello, send me an email at ryan@banjoexpert.com and I’ll be happy to give you a one on one lesson on backup. There’s a lot to it that I think you’ll like. Thanks, RyanRyan: Hmmm… I haven’t seen tab to that yet but maybe someone will comment here that has it or you might find it on banjohangout.org. Thanks RyanRyan: Trevor, thanks for the kind note. By the way if you’re ever in Indiana look me up. We’ll do some jamming!Ryan: Yes, the answer is that you need to memorize smaller parts of the song in one sitting. Don’t try to memorize the song all at once. Learn it in pieces. Thanks, RyanRyan: David, hello these are really good questions. My favorite lessons to teach are the ones that you are referring to; however, when I do I seem to get a bunch of unhappy emails so I tend to lean toward the basics. Learning backup is a fun exercise and I could go on for hours about that topic...Ryan: Hello, thanks for your interest in our lessons. The only way I currently start memberships is through paypal. You might want to have a friend sign you up and them pay them back. This might work good for you. Thanks RyanRyan: Emily, hello thanks for the question. I personally feel like that’s Earls tune so I probably won’t be teaching it but I would recommend learning it via his book which is marvelous. I basically play it note for note. If you really want work on portions of this tune then contact...Ryan: No problem, most people on the site here are new to the banjo and working towards becoming a better banjo player. No need to be sorry 
Ryan: Hawk, yes that’s what we do. Many of our videos will guide you through one string at a time. That’s the best way to learn. If you would like a personal lesson via skype let me know and I can taylor a lesson specifically to you. Thanks.Ryan: It sounds to me like you’re using a mac, in which case you will need to download a wmv player such as flip4mac. Click this link and check it out. Thanks.Ryan: You always start with the melody. Learn the very basic melody to the song that you like and play it one note at a time on your banjo. Once you learn the melody by playing it one note at a time you then start trying to play it with the inflections of the singer. You want your banjo to sound...
emilywoody: Hi Ryan, I’d like to learn to play Earls Breakdown, I have een browsing the archives, but haven’t found it. Maybe you can give us a lesson on this one, Thanks , you site is a great help to me.

This does not happen with the Quicktime media. Any idea what is going on?Jason Edwards: Ryan! Thanks for all the amazing stuff you’ve posted thus far. One question I have that makes my instructor go a little glassy eyed and slack jawed is “How can I translate a great ‘non-bluegrass song’ into a banjo tune?” Specifically I have been...Ryan: Thanks so much. We’re giving it our best shot. If you ever have any ideas or lessons that you would like to add please let me know. I’m always up for new material. Maybe we can meet up at a festival somewhere or do a skype interview. I’d love to hear some of your...Ryan: Very good question. You need to start with our 10 beginner lessons which start here. Once you’re done with those if you feel like you’re still having trouble then email me and let me know. I always encourage folks to communicate. I will more than likely at that point set up a...
Tom Strauss: OK, what am I missing here? Looking for a logical progression of lessons for a total beginner and haven’t found them yet. What I see is a bunch of video’s that have no sequence or apparent steps to learning. If I have to view each of these video’s to determine if...

David Smith: Hi Ryan, I am considering joining your site. I have a couple questions. After a few years I guess I would call myself somewhere between advanced beginner and intermediate. Do you get into the more difficult banjo tunes, and playing in different keys, and different tunings. Do you...
Peter: Hi Ryan . I’ve just joined the ‘clan’. I’ve been ‘boiling the cabbage’ for some months now and can follow tab fairly well but I think following tab can be a hindrance at times. I would like to memorize a song rather than have to follow the tab but I seem to have a short memory!...

jeddymorrisonri: I love the new bluegrass sound. The Allison Kraus albums have some really neat banjo songs, but I can’t find any tabs. Just learning a lick or two from their albums would be great.jeddymorrisonri: I think the ideas are great. I like the numbered lessons and the tabs.

I signed up to your web site a short time after I started taking lessons at a local music store....Jason Edwards: Hey! If you’re going to be posting more tabs, how about including a video file of the song being played both slow and up to speed? I can figure a song out in tab, but it goes a LOT quicker if I can sort of mentally digest the tune before trying to sort out the tab. For...
Jonathan: Hi Ryan, I like your ideas of ordering the lessons so it is easier to progress and definately more tabs! Somewhere to buy strings etc with confidence you are getting the right stuff sounds good too. Keep up the good work! Jonathan
Kelly Thompson: Ryan, Are the new tabs going to be it tabledit format? I hope so, I enjoy the flexability tabledit has to offer. Being able to view the fretboard and control the playback speed are a couple of tools that are indispensable to a novice picker.

Thanks, BenMELISSA: I would also like to see a lesson about what brand of accesseries are the best to buy, like cases, picks, tuners, strings, etc., and where to buy them.

Hi Ryan
VERY NICE video and good advice to be sure. One other thing I have found very handy in my banjo case is a small but bright flashlight for those times at night if you drop something, or some thing falls out of the case. I have seen guys trying to use lighters to find things in the grass at night sometimes it it don’t work so good
