I love my metronome, it's a harsh, harsh reminder of how sloppy I've been playing!

Eli, I've watched many videos on learning the banjo but you are the best instructor for beginners that I have found. You breakdown everything in steps that are easy to follow and understand...thank you..

Agreed 100%

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been told I need to practice other a metronome but no one ever showed me how. The slides were confusing for me but now I get it. Thanks!

Also, do you have a link to the song you’re playing for the subdivided notes? It’s about 6:15 on this video? Sounds like a great practice song.

Your presentation was very helpful for players of different 0:02 abilities. Starting from the simplest pattern to significantly advanced speeds, can allow to folks to move at their own rates and goals. Thank you. 🙏

Great instruction Eli, once again easy to follow and learn Thanks 👍

I've always felt kinda confused with a metronome but you explained it so well and I get it now ! Thank you 🙂

Awesome! Really appreciate sharing this!

This is simply amazing Eli! I shared it on my Facebook feed for all my friends who play instruments

I've been trying to do this on guitar... It's a lot harder than you'd think.

What a great video Eli, thanks!

So helpful and well presented. Many thanks!

Learning banjo, the metronome crushes my will to live.

The metronome does not suppress the "will to live"! The metronome destroys your illusions! Greetings from Russia, everyone in our country knows about breaking illusions 🤓

Thanks for sharing. This is good.

Поразительно, как много люди интересуются игрой на банджо, и как мало - игрой под метроном! А ведь банджо - чрезвычайно ритмичный инструмент, маленькая неровность лишает игру красоты, и только четкое попадание в ритм вдыхает жизнь в эти безостановочные роллы 🙂🪕 Да, а я, на своем нулевом уровне, начинаю репетиции со 100 BPM, чтобы успеть дойти до 220 хотя бы за час 😁 Оказывается, надо начинать на 80 BPM, и думать только о секундах, забыть о часах! 🤔 Надо попробовать, все равно я зашел в тупик со своими репетициями.

Great video as usual. I was wondering if you could do a few Eddie Adcock tunes, especially his “Nine Pound Hammer” break with that Merle Travis? banjo style. Thanks if you do .

Hey Eli, could you make a video on proper left hand placement? I use an open back banjo with no strap yet. I’ve got one on the way. I’ve been struggling if my left hand has been correct. Thanks and love your videos!

Hey Eli! Any comments on practicing with metronome vs practicing to an electronic beat? (drum machine, midi track, keyboard rythm section etc). With a drumbeat loop I feel a stronger sense of 'groove', or that I'm doing music, even if it's still repetitive and mechanical. Would you advice against using those rythm tracks?

I have been practicing banjo and im on your day 23 Beginning banjo course but i have all plastic Finger picks and they are starting to Wear out and i need recommendations for new ones. Any help

Thanks Eli! What is the song you play at 144 bpm toward the end of the video?

Standard 5/8 snuffy should be fine, I haven't tried the others but every bridge sounds different on every banjo so you'd have to try them to really know!
