  • Here's an old video that I posted a while back ( I was still stuck in Pennsylvania's cold nasty weather!!!). Nevertheless, this is a very crucial element of Earl's playing that not a lot of people use, but is an important detail that will help take your playing to the next level.
    All the best and keep rollin,

    This is exceptional. What I needed when I was playing . . . (er, I mean attempting to learn. . . .) a lot. And what helps too is the camera on your hat. Seeing your work from the same perspective as you're seeing it. Man. I appreciate this.

    The first type of slide you showed is great for a beginner like myself. I'm 58 just this March 2020 and am enjoying some practice time. But I do believe with time I can learn the bends and pulloffs you are teaching here.
    Thank you Sir

    • @celticminstrel8252

      Keep at it, Becky, the best advice I can give you is, practice in 30 minute sessions a couple of times a day, it'll give what you learn a wee bit of time to sink in, long sessions just become frustrating. Good luck.

    Did anyone notice the nut on the banjo??? The second string is lengthened..... Very cool... I did this to a Gibson banjo years ago and worked great...wasn't my idea, came from Stelling, but still did a great job with intonation....

    • @JohnHeiman
      @JohnHeiman 6 років тому +1

      So that has a purpose. Ha! I was thinking he needed a new nut... Any idea why it needs lengthening?

    • @maxwellfan55
      @maxwellfan55 6 років тому +2

      It automatically adjusts the intonation of second string which otherwise never sounds quite in tune.

    • @chuckvandyke9918
      @chuckvandyke9918 6 років тому

      I did that to my bridge on the third string groove,,,I always find the third string goes sharp up the neck..no?

    • @josephanderson7237
      @josephanderson7237 4 роки тому

      It comes partly from the different path lengths of the strings from the nut to the bridge.
      The bridge can also be adjusted. I like the moon 🌙 bridges.
      There’s numerous options.

    Whats weird is in Earl Scruggs book th tab shows it with the 2 fret slide.

    • @JH-tj9jd
      @JH-tj9jd 4 роки тому +1

      I bought Earl's book because I wanted to play his songs exactly like he did. The problem is, Earl would often make little changes in how he picked a song. I think he kept it kind of basic in his book.

    • @brucejohnston6184
      @brucejohnston6184 3 роки тому

      I gather Bill Keith might have written the book, transcribing what Earl played. I imagine Earl couldn't necessarily say exactly what notes he'd just played, being "in the moment" and in any case probably played a few versions without thinking :-)

  • @Steve-cs8nd
    @Steve-cs8nd Рік тому

    You’re dead right! I didn’t even notice that as a relatively new banjo player but played guitar over 50 years I was doing this unconsciously while working through Earls book. It’s just doesn’t sound like him unless you do it. But to find I was intentionally doing it but completely unconsciously blew me out.
    Groundspeed, all of them have the microtone blue note additions.
    It amazes but then after 50 years fretting it amazes me that my hand remembers song my brain had long forgotten, like a bunch ragtime solos that came back I learned in 1977 in the art of ragtime guitar. I just happened to voice a G7 chord in the same idiosyncratic manner as the solo while messing about and my hand went off into the Ragtime Ramble alternating bass with the syncopated counterpoint like I learned it yesterday.
    Music is very subconscious come to think of it really. Still an interesting observation.

How come ya to keep your truss rod cover off (just brand anonymity probably?) -- well anyway THANK because it's SO hard for me to STOP and change something I've formed muscle memory for. People may say Join the Club but seriously I am a bit "on the spectrum" and seriously rely on habit, so it's important ingrain this sooner than later! BAD Bennett Sullivan keeping that for later BAD!! Just kidding, but thanks.
