[MrHarryt8]

This is my latest tune to learn, and where else would I go for a reference point on how to play but the GarageBoogieBand..!!

Thanks gents.

[chuxtrux]

it looks like you tube would not let me post a link here. so i request that you go to my videos and click on "mounting tape" . i promise it will forever solve your sliding pick situation, chuck.

[theominnaert]

Excellent : All of you.

[mountnmonkey]

Hi my friend, thanks for coming by Theo, we sure appreciate your visit...*ron

[chuxtrux]

well ron, this is by far my favorite of your postings i've heard so far. sent it to favorites before it was half over. the way you pick is the way i hope to some day but i'm not a natural and need LOTS of practice. was wondering if you are holding a flat pick or wearing a thumb pick.  also, which guitar is that. has a great tone and punch. five stars, be well, chuck.

[mountnmonkey]

Hi Chuck, thanks for coming by. I'm using a flat pick and playing a 1976 HD-28 Martin guitar. Since a fiddle is very loud, you need a guitar that will really boom to hold your own with them. This one fills the bill although I trouble holding on to the pick, so I use a round plastic pick, which doesn't help the tone ...*ron

[ljped]

Fantastic version of the tune. Fiddling, mandolin and your picking Ron are all excellent. Kudos to the camera operator too to get you all in when doing your solos - I think that we need someone like that!

[mountnmonkey]

Hey Jack, we sure thank you for your kind comment and I'll pass your kudos along to the camera operator. He is my next door neighbor who had never used a camera 'till I bought this one. He's been a big help to us...*ron

[mrgreer51]

Awesome! Next time you have a session like this, let me know and I'll drive down from Missouri and bring my banjo. I've played this one hundreds of times, but I never get tired of it.

[mountnmonkey]

You sure would help our little group with your great banjo pickin', i'm always impressed to watch you. Like you , I never get tired off this old tune, but I usually just play rhythm, but thought I would give it a try...thanks for taking time to watch...*ron

[chrismayka]
