freaking excellent lesson on the subtleties of left hand technique. Not enough people talk about the dangers of bad position, or so eloquently and clearly describe the options that give you results and avoid injury. Bravo Mr. Gilbert :)

Your videos are at such a professional level and very helpful. Keep up the good work!

sick shirt - also you seriously nailed that part godamn

I’ve been playing banjo for over 40 years and still haven’t even come close to feeling comfortable playing Sally Goodin. Thanks for all the healthy tips.

That tone on that gibson is insane!

Sally Goodin' is my fav. Fun to play back up on this one

Thanks Eli. Now I can blame the bass in the recording for being a half step off for my struggle! Great observation and very helpful. I need to revisit SG today.

Hi Eli; Earl said that the rhythm section (i.e., Jake) played it that way because Earl told him to. Earl said, "I wanted him to come down on the E note (Key of A) when I wanted to emphasize the E chord part of it on my banjo. So he went along, playing it backwards, and the E note would come up at the right time". Sorry for the repitition if you've already heard that.

I really like your channel you’re very very informative about all of this thank you for straightening all this out

Eli, yup IMTM ! as a beginner I appreciate your breakdown the information of a complex lesson in manageable and clearly understandable bites. Thanks

Your comments about the actual melody of the song hit home with met. Hearing the melody has always been my problem on this one and sometimes on other Scruggsy stuff, but especially on Sally G. (Earl left a nice opening for Bill Keith and Bobby Thompson!) Thanks for your insights.

Two fingers missing on my right hand and this was my best fastest one

Thanks Eli

I have had a difficult time playing this live. That's funny. I learned from this CD

oh my, and I've just started learning this with Amazing slowdowner, and totally thought Earl's string bend was coming on beat 1 lol. I was like why did Earl phrase like that, it doesn't follow the melody? Must be just a cool variation. And when the timing of the intro was throwing me. Wow. Great lesson here man.

Your comments about this song are exactly right. Great song that is confusing to figure out.

25 years of working off and on, some times pretty seriously at this tune and still can play it. What can I say?

Great information! Thanks Eli!

you are so lucky to have those long fingers!

awesome, thanks Eli.

Great lesson!

Thank you,your info is important…☮️🎶🔛🌎

Thanks for this. Your explanation, demonstration, and tab makes it easy to work on; at least, at a slow pace. Do you also address the low break?

Great video! Just started working on the FMB version last week. Definitely struggle with the timing and the order he played through the sections. The kick-off always throws me off the first time through.

Man why do i struggle with this tune so much?!! I just get stuck on where it actually starts

I really wish you lived close to where I do so I could come take lessons I’ve always wanted to play sally Goodwin Can’t get it

My goal is to one day I will be as good as you. Playing 3 hours a day during the work week and on weekends 5 hours a day. Is this the kind of time you put in to get this good?

We’re did you get that shirt?

I need help with the slide pull off up the neck!!

sally goodin or sally goodwin ?

I can’t find that shirt on Your sight?

There is nothing hard about this song!

As a fiddler I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I really like your channel you’re very very informative about all of this thank you for straightening all this out
