old style of banjo appalachian song

[NorCalFolkSinger]

Hell yeah boy, Clawhammer or gtfo

[danbolub]

good job, sure is authenic

I wish GoldTone would put the fifth key further back from the fourth fret like most banjo makers do. If you use a Paige or McKinney type capo, you can't capo the fourth fret accurately. I asked the GoldTone distributor at IBMA about this and he just laughed it off. He was there to sell banjos not give a hoot about what banjer pickers had to say.

The last tune is from Angeline The Baker, or sometimes called, Angelina Baker.

Very nice man, beautiful clawhammer

[StormNightShade]

i think the songs pritty and is clawhammer hard to learn?

[banjolisterine]

depends on who teaches it, or how you figure it. it's totally different to do than it looks.

What is the difference in sound between a resonator and an open back banjo?

[banjolisterine]

open back sounds a bit more rustic, while the resonator gives a more "professional" sound. also resonator banjos are much louder.

[robhenry420]

thats wicked!!! which model gold tone is that? im thinking of geting an open back , where are you from ? Im from Toronto canada and i have never met anone who plays the banjo under the age of 50 cheers!

[banjolisterine]

well I'm from down here in Georgia, there's a decent chunk of us youngin's who play but not much. that model that I have is a gold tone cripple creek 50. or CC-50. it has a bell brass tone ring. sounds real good once you file the sides of the bridge some and do some work on the top nut.
