Great my friend, very well played best wishes from Ireland

[ripadisc]

where you living dude?

[Gaz10t]

Howaya. Any chance you can make a vid on how to play this? Got me banjo last October and could only learn one song so far. Need a good Irish tune to keep the lads happy! :) thanks

@Gaz10t

This probably wouldn't be a good choice to start out with: it is in a slightly odd tuning. I'd be happy to send you the tab if you send me a private note.

One tune that works really well in open G is "Nancy's Whiskey" which I think is widely done...

[Jaxter5]

hey, im thinking about learning banjo soon, i play guitar now, and i was just wondering if you could get a tab for this on either for me, awesome vid btw

@Jaxter5

I'd be happy to send it to you. It is in an odd tuning, though. Send me a private note with your email and I'll send you the tab.

im barely irish (1/16th) so im no true authority of good irish/celtic music. but goddamn do i know an excellent musician when i hear one!!!!! exceptional work Andy! :)

[Pfranklin28]

I love it. Thanks.

[Intedencefer]

Awesome rendition of this song! I've been trying to learn this ever since I got my banjo. Is there any way you could post the chords?

[subverbal]

Fantastic version! Can't stop listening to this as I'm just starting to experiment with double c tuning. I'm getting there slowly! Thanks for posting.

i have goose bumps after hearing that, FANTASTIC!! thank you.

[leathbrogandubh]

maith an buachaill!!

[ndlxs]

Thank you so much, that is very kind of you. It is an Arthur E Smith Shelburne II Internal Resonator banjo, made sometime around 1979. It is somewhat like some of the Bacon models from the turn of the century.

[QRS666]

The sound of this banjo is just fantastic! What model is it? And the singing and banjoplaying is also topclass!

[bearhart]

How did you get the thunder to hit at the right time? This is awesome. I just started playing clawhammer three months ago but if I could play this song like that I will die happy.

[twotripe]

Play, Englands boys a keep a coming!!!!!!!!!! Thats if you can work it out!!!!!!!!!!1

[NSMadeMan]

That song sounds incredible with the banjo. Great job.

[ryfo]

thats awsome I've never heard this in double C tuning

[PiePerson100]

Yeah. Andy's music is pretty good.
