    This is so lovely. I think I prefer these slower pieces to fast picking banjo.

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

    Your style... it's probably the easiest music I have ever connected with. Thank you for sharing your gift! This caused me to stop all i was doing and just enjoy the moment.

    Such a unique style. Ive been playing for 4 years and i still cant learn by ear. But i watch your videos slowed down a bit probably 50+ times to learn some of these songs. Ive developed so many useful tricks that i never wouldve thought of and it is just a constant source of inspiration. Thank you man!

      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?

      @@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!

    This is a great example of BANJO PLAYIN. When I get my banjo,, I will play it slow on purpose too.
    The banjo really sings out that way..
    Playing fast is good too.
    I am going to sing when I play slow or faster...
    It's all good.. please make more music friend.

      Hey Harv Dog! Thanks for all the comments. I like those old civil war style hats too. And yes, honey, much better than sugar. Glad you like the clawhammer tunes, I will add more songs with singing along. keep singing yourself!

    • @hondosmith8092
      @hondosmith8092 Рік тому +1

      Thanks Harv. Yes, playing it slower I believe lets you hear the tune better. Im bad about starting slow then all of a sudden my fingers are in a face with my brain.
