    Good stuff! But then I realized this video was shot in ONE TAKE -- no editing. That's when I realized these guys are REALLY good. No fancy 32-track, autotune, computer effects laden video. Just plain old fashion ass kicking music.

    To anyone complaining saying he's playing the banjo the wrong way, Jimi Hendrix played guitar the wrong way. He didn't know scales or chord progressions, he just knew what sounded good. Hell he even used a violin bow to play it once or twice. So stop bitching. The best at what they do often do it unconventionally.

    • @CivilEngineerWroxton
      @CivilEngineerWroxton 9 років тому +397

      Long as it sounds good, there IS no wrong way. Just play what your mind and heart and talent call for. This guy playing that 5-string with a guitar pick is actually pure genius. I am a banjo player myself and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

    • @SpyderWebbArt

      +Al Scarbrough any clue how he's got that 'jo tuned?

    • @CivilEngineerWroxton
      @CivilEngineerWroxton 9 років тому +109

      Spyder Webb From what I can tell, he's definitely got it tuned a key lower than what it normally would be. The truncated G string I don't see him plucking any so that string is out of the playing, so the main four strings are what he is using. The longer G string is definitely tuned to a lower key and the rest are the same. It shows this guy is a genius when it comes to tweaking it to just what he wants and needs. It also shows he has spent a lot of time tinkering and figuring out those tweaks and derivations from the normal. He is incredibly talented with that 'jo and it would be very interesting to just sit down and have him show me a thing or two. His skill level is MUCH above mine.

    There is something about the one guy riding in on the lawnmower for the intro that seems especially appropriate: the tone of the running engine and sound of the engine cut-off perfectly fit the video/song, sonically.

    I clicked on this video, not knowing what to expect. Opening scene: a Massey Ferguson, a man comes in on a Stiga lawnmover. I start fearing for the worst. Someone starts playing the banjo - superbly. The singer strikes an anvil. I start tapping my feel. I like where it's going. The accordion comes on. I'm grinning and nodding my head. So great!

      Joseph Purvis is that also know as a double bass? I would’ve called it a double bass.
      Alejandro, a cello player would be seated. If the instrument is too big to play whilst seated, it’s a double bass (or what Joseph called it).

I love the bass player also the way he'll change between numbers from gut to bull bass shows how versatile he is. Hell their all talented and I'd love to get asked to set down and jam for a bit.

    Have been a musician for over 50yrs.
    What these fellows produce, and their interpretation of tunes is exactly the reason and meaning as to why someone would ever consider picking an instrument up in the first place!
    Has less to do with musicianship than it has to do with personal dedication and determination.
    In my day, I might have been able to keep the riff alive throughout the song that the banjo player nailed completely, and I tip my hat to him and his fellows cuz I know I couldn't keep up today.
    Excellent job, and thanks to you all!!

    I love videos like this. They just show how great music is transcendent. Imagine being a producer and being approached by a band saying they want to do a an AC/DC song while playing spoons, an accordion, and an anvil. You would laugh. However, these guys do just that and kill it
