Five Miles To Town - Two Finger Style Banjo
Переглядів 292Місяць тому
Great tune by Clyde Davenport. I've played it in Clawhammer style for years, tried two finger just this week. Gives the tune a very different atmosphere. The crying baby near the end is my son, I guess he grew tired of listening to the same rune over and over again... Hope you enjoy!
Clawhammer Banjo Lesson: Double C tuning
Переглядів 4592 місяці тому
In this video I try to explain the versatility of double C tuning. Personally I don't like practicing with tabs, because they focus too much on the different notes instead of the atmosphere the tune needs to have. Double C is a very nice sounding, easy to use tuning that I think often gets overlooked in tutorial videos. Tuning: gCGCD I'm very bad at breakdowns, so there's nothing of that, but I...

Probably my favourite fiddle tune to listen! This one was first recorded in 1939 by Ernest Claunch. Many versions online have twin fiddles playing opposite melodies, very nice. I can especially recommend the recording by Rhys Jones & Christina Wheeler

Gospel Plow - Clawhammer Banjo
Переглядів 9827 місяців тому
First heard this song on the legendary old time album by Chance McCoy and the Appalachian String Band, I believe Adam Hurt played banjo on that one. I later learned the song is in fact much older, and has African-American roots. Knowing this the lyrics got a whole new meaning. I imagine Afro-American slaves endlessly working the fields, hoping to reach God's kingdom when they keep on plowing

Ruby with the Eyes that Sparkle - Two Finger style Banjo (Cold Mountain)
Переглядів 1,4 тис.10 місяців тому
Ruby with the Eyes that Sparkle ✨ I first heard this tune in the movie Cold Mountain. Later learned it's basically 'Shove that Pigsfoot' played in D instead of G. I don't know if the name indicates the difference in key, or if the film studio didn't want to go with pigsfoot. It is kind of a funny name for a such a serious movie..
the Cuckoo - Two Finger Style Banjo
Переглядів 1,8 тис.11 місяців тому
New year, new banjo! I always wanted to add a mountain banjo to my collection and last week I finally got the chance. I was a bit scared for the 27" scale length initially, but it turns out to be very comfortable for fretless playing. I recorded this tune with my band Reminder back in 2018. Check it out: open.spotify.com/track/77K7a5dGWDkWxj2uAeExKz?si=mdRlaGVJQhe3zVjdSXw8Cg
East Virginia - Two Finger Style Banjo
Переглядів 842Рік тому
East Virginia - I've been practicing a lot of two finger style lately. Started with index lead but it didn't feel very natural. Switched to thumb and that worked out better. I've been struggling a lot with the high notes on the first string, so yesterday I tried to switch those to the second string. Things are falling into place. An interesting journey for sure!

    Double C tuning is just the best. Ever since I was brave enough to start doing different tunings it opened up so many more wonderful sounds to the banjo that I had been missing in Standard G. Obviously I am still very much a beginner and there maybe other tunings that lay ahead that may come close, but for now I am drawn to that tunes that have that are filled with better depth of notes. Can't sum it up really but I agree completely that the atmosphere is enriched in Double C. Thank you again for getting your head around teaching us, always difficult to put into words what comes naturally to yourself, you basically have to slow down everything and dissect it slowly and verbally transpose it to us. You did grand. I look forward to all your content, great tunes and wonderful playing.
