I usually put the tuning in the video description for those who want to play along. As you can see, this one is gDGBD, regular G tuning. Thanks for listening!

Cool, thanks a lot for watching and I'm glad you got something from it 8^)

Lol, round and round we go!

Thanks so much, it means a lot that other banjo players are listening along 8^) For this video I had a zoom H2 (small audio recorder) stuffed into the back of the banjo! I like getting sound from the back of the banjo because it tends to be deeper and ringy-er.

You got it! Do you ever listen to James Brown?

@@BennyBleu yes, ofcourse. Was/is his rhythmic music your key and guide ?

@@F_later Yes, he is one of many guides. The relentless beat and playfulness of dancing around it. Not too different from old time fiddle and banjo music!

Aw wow, that's really kind. I'm glad the mellow banjo is meeting you where you're at.

Thanks a lot for listening 8^)

Wow thanks so much for this comment, I really appreciate you listening along. Stay tuned, I'll be making some tutorials of how I play several tunes this summer. From my albums and from here on UA-cam. Besides, this tune, any other requests?

​@@BennyBleuyes!!!! This one for sure and Tennessee waltz please, my daughter goes to sleep listening to clawhammer like this so it would be cool if I could play it!!

@@BennyBleu That sounds awesome! I learned this song along with Tennessee Waltz and Winderslide. Fairy Shrimp has a real cool groove so i might like to mess around with that at some point. I also would love to figure out Acorns and Hazelnuts. Is that one in double C? Something about that melody just does it for me. But ill be following along with whatever you put out man. Thanks again!

For this one it's a pretty weird one lol: dADAD

Thanks so much for listening along and I'm so glad the lesson helps. It's certainly not required, but you can send tips at paypal.me/bennybleu I appreciate it!

@@BennyBleu Done! I did not quite know where to go with my banjo, torn between Bluegrass and Clawhammer, but now, knowing how you play, Clawhammer it is! Thank you.

I agree, the music loses so much once it gets past a certain speed.

Awesome, will do 8^)

Awesome, have fun with it! And stay tuned, I'm going to make a tutorial for this one and post it later this summer 8^)

Thanks a lot! I am actually going to post a tutorial on this one later this summer, so stay tuned!

Nice - stay tuned this summer for a tutorial on how I play it 8^)

​@BennyBleu please make it sooner than later haha... I love how you play this! The first waltz I learned to play was cowboy waltz arranged by Josh Turknett, but I think this may top that - a great addition anyway.

Thanks so much for this, you are too kind!

Thanks! Not much these days. If you sign up for my mailing list, I'll let folks know when I'm doing more lessons again. bennybleu.com/mailinglist/

Thanks for listening Martha! I was just in Portland 8^) I played at The Artichoke and taught a banjo workshop. The whole performance is here: ua-cam.com/users/live_dpYr45uWqM?si=Ak8q5AzqBUYYOpF_&t=814 I hope to connect the next time I'm out that way!

Thanks man! Early days of the pandemic with nothing else to do lol....

It's like the best tune ever

Thanks, I appreciate you tapping into the groove!

It's like G, but tuned down to F-ish.

Thanks for following along 8^)

Let's replace the idea that we can each buy exactly what we want for ourselves with the idea that we can all chip in for something better for everyone.

Hey! See you at Smoked Country Jam?

Unfortunately not. The band I played with is not playing this year. We considered going but it’s a costly affair in that regards. Yall sound great
