Played on an 1890 WA Cole banjo tuned to G. [gDGBD] I would urge clawhammer players to visit mossycreek. A site full of a whole bunch of good banjo tabs. stringband.mossyroof.com I am not affiliated with them but I do visit their site often.

Played on a fretless banjo tuned to g#BEBE. I don't post a video of me playing anymore because I am using a different recording setup that really picks up the sound well but not the video. I'm nothing to look at anyhow. Long ago I realized that it is not about me, it is about the music. Take care. NOTE: I said in the video that this is in the key of "B", some call it the key of "E". Whatever!

A very simple version of The Bonnie Blue Flag. Tuned gCGCD. The banjo is a 1924 Vega style N with a reproduction neck by Wyatt Fawley.

ca. 1889 Williams banjo, nygut strings, friction pegs, double C tuned low
Cool picking.
Scioto is derived from a Wyandot word for deer. The Shenandoah River, incidentally, derives its name from another Indian language, and also means deer. The Indians living near the Scioto were Shawnee and not Wyandot. The Wyandot were in Ohio at one point before migrating to Oklahoma. The Shawnee were in Ohio before the Wyandot arrived.
Actually the Remo Weather King head holds tune better
Thank you, Bill!
Still one of my favorite arrangements. Here's the link to buy the actual book. www.melbay.com/Products/93335BCDEB/frailing-the-5string-banjo.aspx
Bill Neff It's up a Fourth
Your style is real clean , love the way you play .. sounds like an old 75 record
Hi! Really like your music, glad to see that you uploaded a new videos!
Marching Through Georgia, Dixie, and Battle Cry of Freedom. Beautiful playing, thanks for the video!
Thought I heard some Dixie in there as well, awesome banjo playing.
I thought I was the only one who heard that too
Thank you for the tabs!
Could you possibly post a video of Marching Through Georgia in G? Your version in C is the best one I've heard in that key.
Cool!!
Nice job Bill, BEATS THE BAG PIPES ANYDAY!
Don't have a tab. I play by ear. I play this in Double C and in G depending upon which banjo I have at the time. I just listen to the tune over and over until I have it and then I"find it" on the instrument. Thanks for listening.
What a wonderful find! Bill, your playing banjo always makes me smile :)
Thanks, nice to know someone is actually interested in this tune. I did make a mental error saying it is in B. It is, of course, in E.
Awesome!!!! what a sound...lovely tempo as well....
wow cool
I like this a lot: Non-frantic playing!
Very well done, I've been listening to how you sing for the past 2 hours, man you're good, hope I can become as good as you are one day! :D
I hope I responded to you before this. If not I am sorry. Answer is yes. It is in Mel Bay's "Frailing the 5-string Banjo",written in 1973. I can send the tab to you if you provide an e-mail address.
Thomas, I need to send it as an attachment to an e-mail. I'm afraid that I am not as technoefficient to be able to do it through youtube and cannot figure out how else to do it. just send an e-mail address and it will be off. Bill
That's my account
nice song, nice banjo
is there sheet music for this version anywhere?
great sound.
Sorry, No tab. I just played it by ear.
This is great! Have you tabbed this out?
a great tune played on a great instrument!
what stringpiano said ;-)
Nice Hat!
Love it! Thank yo for sharing with us!!
Thank you for your kind words.
very nice!
Thanks for the kind words. This is most likely not the original skin head. Probably from the 1940's or 50's.
wow, that banjo is over 100 years old! Is that the original skin? _Almost_ makes me want to ditch my uke and pick up a banjo... Keep posting!
Thankyou sir I appreciate your comment.
Nice job on those tunes! :-)
Wow, this is very good! I am putting this on my homepage!
Thanks for the kind comment.
Excellent!!Great job!
