this video inspired me to take up the banjo exactly two years ago. I was tossing up between guitar and banjo and chose banjo after seeing this... This video opened up a window of possibilities...

I'd like to see some more music like this ross, where the whole neck is used. Most banjo players stick with the down the neck stuff, it gets way too repetitive with open G tuning

That is some amazing banjo playing!

This is fucking incredible.

I feel inspired to start playing banjo now, does anyone know where I could find a tab for this? Or even a guitar tab?

oh my god man! you are the devil! how can you play like that!? i'd love some tips or hints! go check out my crappy banjo song lol i'd like some feedback

this is amazing, i cant believe i found this. I guess it was extremely hard since the free tab labeled it as cumbanchera instead of cumbanchero lol. thank god i foundi t i almost went insane trying to find it lol.

No, but I am always looking for material to play, can you send me any recordings of songs that I might be able to convert to banjo?

I visited and taught a banjo workshop in Munich this year and plan to return next year.

thanks, Ross Nickerson

Superb job Mr. Nickerson! Can you do any Russian numbers that are usually played on the balalaika?
