Wolverton Mountain (Claude King cover)
Переглядів 3865 місяців тому
I want to add a fun song to my channel, and I always liked this one. A hit song from 1962. A bit of true history - Clifton Clowers was a real person who lived on Woolverton Mountain in Arkansas. He was the uncle of the song’s co-writer, Merle Kilgore. The song title changed the mountain’s spelling to Wolverton.

John Ch. 14: [2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

One from the original, Earl Scruggs. And in advance - no, this is not exactly as Earl played it :). I like to add up the neck breaks when I can.
What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Hymn)

What a truly perfect Friend Christ is. When we are faithful to Him, He is there. When we are not faithful to Him, He is there. The kind and merciful Savior of our souls!
Ghost Riders in the Sky (Cover)

This song gave me fits to record. It’s a rainy day here and my fingers and pics are sticking to the strings like crazy due to the humidity. But, since it is raining out and nothing else pressing at the moment, thought it best to pick up the banjo and record my instrumental version of this great song. This is not as smooth as I prefer it be, but here it is in ‘all its glory’. :) First recorded b...

Another quintessential bluegrass favorite. I suppose the Dillards were the first ones to popularize it. Written by Dean Webb and Mitch Jane.
Sunny Side of the Mountain (Jimmy Martin cover)

Sounds awesome ❤
That's awesome. That's Ralph there. Thanks.
Hey silly question, but i cant tell if you are using standard or open g minor tuning or something else. What tuning do you use for this sort of song?
@@Buckshot_Buckaroo Hi SaskFarmer. Not silly at all. It is hard to tell with minor keys-thank you for asking. I use open G major tuning. I start in the key of A-min and modulate to E-min. Especially since there were no vocals, I wanted to work in some additional interest.
@@georgemiles7697 Thanks for the speedy reply! I've listened to a few of your videos and I absolutely love your covers, I'll be learning from your videos! Thanks
Thank you for sharing this!!!
Just Super! 🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕
My grandmother played this song all the time when I was younger. Glad to hear it again, and in such a good rendition too! Great playing.
Hi George, beautiful, that was my Dad’s favourite, brings back precious memories of him😊
Thank u George..just in time for me to learn and play at my aunts's funeral by her request...she is in hospice.
@@davidlee-vm9ub Sorry to hear about your aunt. I spent some painful days in hospice with my father years ago so I understand. But God is faithful to uphold us with the power of His hand.
@@georgemiles7697 Thank u George. BTW..I stuffed a towel in the resonator and it makes for a very nice tone for playing hymns.
Nice arrangement George
Wow
Oh hey, it’s pie in the sky
Ahora lo descargo de UA-cam.Thanks

Thank You!
you have a great voice you should sing more in your videos
It's a wonderful banjo tone, performance, and singing voice. Please tell me the manufacturer and model number of the banjo you are using.
Hi Hidebilly. This banjo is a 1927 Style 1. It was converted to a bluegrass banjo from its original tenor model. Thx for the comment :), George
Amazing 🪕🪕🪕❤
Just bought a Banjo, so inspired by your music. Thank you! 😊
@@Watcher-op9pi hi Watcher. I feel very honored by your comment! The banjo has been a wonderful part of my life and I hope you find the same joy in learning and playing it. Take your time, learn it well, and it will be a life-long friend. Best Wishes, George.
Beautiful arrangement! Can I have the tabs?
@@mrt8bit692 Hi mrt. Thx for the comment. Sorry, I play all by ear and don’t have any tabs for it. Best wishes, George.
@@georgemiles7697 no worries at all George, love your stuff, never stop playing 🤙
I have enjoyed listening to you 2 men for several years now. I just found this old vid. Your skills were already so well developed. How old were you then?
Just got my first banjo at 25! Passed down from my great great grandfather, an American princess
Beautiful piece. Trying to decide what hymn or combination of several to play at church. It will take me a while to figure it all out. Thank you 7-14-24
AWSOME playing, are you a banjo teacher?
@@D.mastyt Hi D.mastyt. Thx for the comment! The answer is ‘I will be’. Probably after the first of the year (2025). Best Wishes, George

Which lick did you use to finish the high solo ?
Do you mean at the very end of the high solo as it is going back to the lower part?
@georgemiles7697 yes the one that starts with the fast double on 17th fret
