SWEET Picking!!!!!! Great Job.

[TomHarkins]

AWESOME DUDE !!!! I didnt know much about this song until I heard Del McCoury sing it... I have yet to hear this song played badly. 2 thumbs up for you because that's all the thumbs i have. By the way... where are you from? Im from North Georgia but now live in Kentucky.. the heart of the bluegrass music I love.

[obdan]

excellent!



[trekleader]

Hey man, that's awesome, you sound great, what a cool rendition, thanks!

[CoalbyDog]

Have listened to all of the other versions on the web, yours is superb! Where might one purchase your tab?

It will be a long time before I reach your level of proficiency but I'm working hard on it.

Wow! I just worked this out on the guitar. I'm a beginner claw hammer student but i'll have to tackle this. i like your arrangement muchly. Look up ChristyJefferson for a great female arrangement. Oh and i found another version on banjo hangout.com much to my surprise!

[briankofke]

Nice.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Could you possibley do a tutorial of the del mcoury version

[akaGumboStu]

great playing and beautifully framed!

[theothernickc]

Just incredible! RT would approve I think.

You are a very inventive young man, I have messed round with Vincent Black Lightning on the acoustic for several years but it just never occurred to me to try it on the banjo before! - Unusual tuning that gCGCD. I usually use gCGCE which seems to do the trick too.

Thanks for uploading this, quite inspiring actually. RT would appreciate it too I am quite sure.

This is very cool!!! Thanks!

[sportsterlad]

Ah, two of my very favourite things: Vincents and clawhammer banjos!!

Thanks for putting that up.

[plonker00765]

enjoyable rendition of a very difficult number,well done.

[Bisbonian]

Wonderful rendition of a wonderful song. Can't wait to try it on my own banjo. Thanks for the inspiration (and the great blogs! Where do you get your time!?)

[danbherman]

Nice arrangement! As a big Richard Thompson fan (and clawhammer banjo player) I really appreciate it. And I've just discovered your various blogs which could keep me busy for a few weeks! Thanks for all your efforts.

[mgwhitehead]

Excellent, excellent job. You handle that banjo well.

[kirktorf]

Really well done.

[jimbo9580]

fantastic cover...i really love the sepia tint, it sets the mood perfectly

[Threestaves]

had to comment, very good

[FlatfootJohnny]

This is great. I saw Richard palying this live last year...never even considered doing it with a banjo...well done.

[mikebridge]

This is a great song for clawhammer!

[deach69]

I envy you clawhammer guys. Great singing too.
