Black Eyed Suzie

The perfect first song!

Complete beginners start here

The basic clawhammer stroke can take time to master. Learning this song will make it easier and more fun! The Left Hand is very simple, so you can concentrate on striking the strings cleanly with the Right Hand.

This song uses notes on all four of the banjo’s long strings, so you will learn a full range of striking skills just by playing this song. In the chorus there is one short section of Double Thumbing, so you can make a start with the other most important Right Hand Skill as well.

Begin your journey into the wonderful world of Old-Time banjo by playing this song. It’s the first song Frank learnt to play!
