I always love it when someone learns to play banjo, 'cause as you say it really is a happy instrument and it can make you happy too.. I've made another 7 or 8 videos and have the Supertone playable, but still got a bit more tweaking to do on it. I'm uploadin' them now, and hope to have them all up by tomorrow. Seems to take forever to load the darn things. Anyway, thanks for watchin' and good luck with the banjo. @clearbluemtns That’s awesome.

Surfin' around on youtube I discovered your 'How to play banjo" and yep, you didn't even know that you was the one to teach me! well, I did watch some others but I won't go into that right now....just wanted to thank you for the free lessons. And, I'm learnin' a lot about banjos from your new "for the sake of a once treasured..." I'm a fan! Love the ratrod!!!

I think that was your question. I play all the strings with one finger and sometimes my thumb, but mostly, especially in traditional "frailing" the thumb only hits the 5th string. @huerdon One at a time, mostly.
