I'm pretty massively into the guitar.

I want to buy a banjo to play this and widows in the ysalpa ( or however you spell it). do you think i should buy one, and do you think you could hook me up with tabs?

[perryfein123]

you are extremely talented

[si96]

You are very good. It's not even like a cover where it's not as good as the original. I would listen to you any day :)

[joeburton77]

thanks :)

[sheepsy1337]

what type of banjo is this?

[joeburton77]

a rover 5 string

[micksTown]

so there are about 10 covers now of this tune.. your original is still the best. I mean much better then Innocence Mission's version.

your pace and tone makes the song worth listening to... just great

[joeburton77]

thanks, glad you like it :) all the best

joe

[iamacuckoo]

nice!

and I wanna find a banjo teacher :/

[Adabear]

beautiful cover. your voice is perfect for this. My boyfriend plays banjo (not clawhammer), but he'll definitely love to hear this as well.

I wish you could get your hands on some better recording equipment. thanks a lot for sharing.

[joeburton77]

thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :)

[handsomedevil135]

Lovely cover. I'm looking for a tab on a five string banjo. I can't find one. :(

[joeburton77]

thanks - I based this on the tab at fretplay guitar site which is a guitar tab but then i just used the banjo chords Dm, F, C, G etc

[JonathanLundell]

let's raise a fund so Joe can get new equipment to record his amazing covers with! =)

[joeburton77]

haha.. good idea!! I am hoping to invest in some soon actually, a digital recording device of some kind

:)

[treehamallama]

this song on banjo always makes me smile. i love it! good voice too. you should get a better camera so we can hear this in all its glory. :)

[treehamallama]

banjo! yesssssssssssssssss

[youarearunner]

incredible. are you playing the same chords as the guitar version? or do you use different chords on the banjo?

[joeburton77]

thanks.. yes, they are the same chords as the guitar chords but these are different fingerings on the banjo

all the best

joe

[murphysm1]

outstanding!

[beedeegs]

yeah it does, thanks

[penkyismyhero]

great cover of a great song, then again all your covers are amazing. thanks for posting this, i watched this a few times over to learn how to play it on my banjo how Sufjan did it.

[joeburton77]

glad you liked it.. isn't sufjan's version amazing!!! :)

[beedeegs]

Could you please explain the picking pattern, I've been dying to learn this song. Thanks

[joeburton77]

it kind of involves hitting the base notes of each of the chords then the rest of the strings and using lots of hammer-ons mostly with the second finger in each of the chords - i hope that helps, to be honest it is just instinctual and hard to break down!

[marshallq27]

This is the cover that got me interested in Sufjan in the first place. Awesome job.

[Leadingnorth]

Love it!!

[dreamtiger2]

awesome joe!

[laney58]

[Pietersen158]

Good playing. Keep up the good work!

[shawnruby]
