How To Get Started Playing Banjo
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.

Wouldn’t it also be a good idea to warn people not to use the coordinator rod to raise or lower the action more than 1/16"? You’re the experts—but since this changes the string height by actually distorting the banjo’s body, my understanding is that it should be used for only the slightest adjustments.
Finally, what about simply trying a higher or lower bridge?That’s often all you need to fix string height, and obviously a much simpler, less-potentially-damaging procedure, especially in the hands of non-professionals. I’d at least mention that before showing people this more radical approach.
Great video—except for possibly one thing. Chad explains how important it is, when adjusting a two-rod banjo, to loosen the inner rod before you start changing the outer one. But he doesn’t mention this till more than halfway through the video, when he actually starts adjusting a two-rod banjo. How many people with two-rod banjos may be watching this and following along during the one-rod section, not realizing they could damage their banjos by not loosening the center rod first?
Thank you so much for that video! VERY helpful.
Very helpful video; thank you. The coordinator rod is different than the truss rod—correct? It would be great to see a video about how to tell which might be the culprit when the strings buzz down the neck (at the 2nd fret and below, to be specific) and the string height varies up and down the neck so that it seems the neck is bowing. (I play a Deering John Hartford, if that helps answer the question.) Thanks again for the maintenance instruction videos. Please keep them coming!
