Very nice, @Archie. I was hoping to hear that accent, but hearing that Stelling was just as nice.

[Brent.H]

You’re the top expert beginner on the forum Hope you’ve been doing well, Sir.

Thank you so much for putting on this contest Banjo Ben, and having Kenny Smith and David Benedict come, too. This was so much fun, I really enjoyed myself. I hope you keep doing contests like these.

No worries. I just went to jam while waiting for the video!

Wow how exciting!!! Thank you so much for putting this on! I can’t believe I get a lesson with Kenny!!!

[Mike_R]

Congrats to everyone who got featured, double congrats to the winners, triple congrats to Libby!

Libby, don’t bring up an Accutron 214 Spaceview watch to Kenny, or that’s all you may learn about although, that is a really interesting watch.

That was a great idea for the contest!

[Archie]

I was hoping to hear that accent,

Here you go…

Such a fun contest! Thank you so much @BanjoBen, David and Kenny! I’m thrilled to receive the Gutbuster award. It was just as much fun making it as you had watching it. All the entries were fantastic and congrats to all the winners! And yes, YouTube had more chop than my mandolin last night.

@Flatpickin_Libby Well deserved

[Archie]

Well done to all the other winner’s

Thank you everyone who participated in the contest. It was fun and very entertaining.

[BanJoe]

Thanks! I’m slowly getting back into the real world, mentally speaking. That episode in the hospital shot a big hole in my routine & trying to get a new one going is a bit weird. Thank goodness for my banjo & all the good folks here!

[Flatpickin_Libby]

Lucy just told me I was the grand prize winner!!! Wow! I can’t believe it!

(I only skimmed through the video last night because it was 12am at IBMA- I never thought I’d win the grand prize!)

I’m shocked and super honored. Thank you so much to Ben and everyone.

[BanjoBen]

We’ll be getting with all the winners over the next week, thanks!

[Flatpickin_Libby]

My lesson with Kenny is in an hour!

[Archie]

So you must be with him at this very moment @Flatpickin_Libby . Enjoy

[Flatpickin_Libby]

It was great! He talked about 9-note scales using both the major and flat 7th, and then taking that scale and starting it on the third, fifth, or seventh, instead of the root. And exploring that all over the fretboard in different positions.

Thank you again for this amazing gift @BanjoBen!

[Zachary]

Sounds like a great time!

Awesome!
