Holy moly. I have been stuck in a rut for so long. This gave me new things to work on further up the neck. Love it. Thanks.

I know this is an old vid but just wanted to say a big thank you Steve…you’ve been an inspiration and I will get the vamping down one day.

You're a great music teacher! One of the best I've had. You get my brain exploding with ideas and make me want to pick up my banjo over and over!

I think the banjo is still & unexplored instrument as a hand style guitar player..! Bought a banjo & got the banjo bug...! Absolutely your a natural teacher namastey 🇦🇺🍻🙏

Great vid. I had been looking for instructions on how to play some simple back-up and vamping. Sure gets me started. Thanks Steve !

Double thumbs up! I'm in love with your teaching lessons! Thanks

Thank you very much for this. You're a good teacher. I'll be practicing all weekend and beyond.

Thanks Steve, this is really a great lesson! I'm 2 years in now and this is very helpful. I really enjoy and appreciate your lessons. They are great fill in for Patrick's teaching. I am starting to feel like a player rather than a beginner.

Glad to help! I'm still learning myself, so I figured I'd share my "discoveries" as I go

An excellent lesson Steve, and I liked how you demonstrated shifting from lead to vamping working with the same chords.

I found this extremely nice! Beautiful stuff, thanks!

Thats nice Steve, my wife was humming your tune while doing the house work and I was watching. Good practical stuff for us Frailing newbees ( that under 5 years playing in my book) will subscribe.

Finger picking is easy, it is the frailing I want to master. I spoke to Bela Fleck and he finger picks, but hasn’t really mastered frailing, yet his wife is a claw hammer player. I have to learn to frail!

That is way way cool! This is the level I want to get to ASAP. I'm a loooong ways from it. I'm out in the garage practicing down strokes on each string and thumb strikes and rest if that tells you anything. Looks like your right index finger is coming up and striking 4th string a lot is that normal or are you filling in? Is that normal when your strumming.
