    It sounds very Olde English and also reminds me of “The Raggle Taggle Gypsy.” It’s a lovely sound.

    Thank you, that’s great. I’m almost at the point of giving up learning clawhammer because I’m dreadful at following tab. Maybe I’ll always be a strummer or a pattern picker. Please could you tell me what tuning you’re in and if you can point me to the tab you’re using, I’d be really grateful. Maybe I’ll give it a good shot because I love this tune. I’m a banjo nana too!

    • @banjogranny9156
      @banjogranny9156  Рік тому +3

      I learned this one partly from watching Lukas Pool’s video and partly from my banjo teacher Dan Stewart. I learn a lot of songs from You Tube videos by reducing the speed so I can hear and see what is being played. I use tab only as a starting point, and then add my own variations and/or copy parts from other players.

      honestly, you need to move away from tab. I used tabs for years as a guitar player, but when you are learning this kind of music, most of it will not have tab, nor require tab. You have to learn to replicate what you hear. If you don't play it exactly right because you can't get the exact part perfectly, it doesn't matter so much. That is how it is passed on and changes over time.

      @Rogue_Strummer Рік тому

      @@banjogranny9156 I made that assumption. It looked like one of their models. Do you prefer a 12 inch over an 11 inch? How do you rate the sound quality difference upgrading to a professional instrument vs a basic $150-200 open back starter. Do you think it's a big difference.. I've played the Deering Americana, and I don't care for the esthetics much or the tone although I'm sure it's alot better than what I'm using. Do you have any preference on tone rings or things of that nature. I like the tempo that you play at. I've heard others playing a bit too fast in some instances, and I get there is a time and a place for that, but it doesn't sound melodic on certain songs. Thanks if you have time to read this!

      @@Rogue_Strummer When I ordered the Pisgah I didn’t know whether to get 11” or 12” and the owner recommended 12.” It’s a little louder, it has a fuller, warmer sound. And there is a world of difference between it and the starter banjo I was playing previously. A good quality banjo is more responsive, and is actually easier to play. When I played cheap instruments, I felt like I was fighting the banjo, but the Pisgah seems to cooperate with me. I don’t know if that makes sense, but if you can play a quality instrument for comparison you’ll see what I mean. I don’t know enough about tone rings to have an opinion. My Pisgah has a Dobson, and I’m happy with the sound. Once when I was at a jam I heard a Vega with a White Laydie tone ring, and it sounded great and was amazingly loud for an open back. And regards tempo, like you, I usually don’t care for lightning fast speed - it too often ruins the beauty of the melody. It seems more about showing off the player’s skill than about providing something pleasing for the listener’s ears.

      Key of Bm. It's in Double C tuning, but tuned down 1/2 step, so technically it's Double B tuning.
