Not hardly....that was a while back. I haven't played that in quite a while. I only posted these to see how bad I actually was. I have to say...I think it's aweful...lol. Thanks for the compliment though
You probably should be a banjo player. Given what you said about the long layoff, the fatigue near the end of the video is understandable, but your right hand is plenty strong and your left hand knows what said right hand is doing.
Absolutely breath taking...love that fast picking sound of the banjo. Well played and what a joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing from a UK banjo player.
20 years?? Man thats good picking - Ive just come back from 3 years off and its all fun... quite strange how the tunes are coming out spontaneously almost..
Well..thanks for the compliment, but this video was after I came back from a 20 yr layoff from the banjo...Wow...its sloppy..LOL. I can play it much smoother now. Thanks again
@Huntndux if thats sloppy then,people like me,learning can feel quite low,how about just say thanks,you are good here,so you have to be bloody good now.cheers.
See, I think it sucked...but Im my own worst critic...I can play it a whole lot better now. I put these videos on here to see how I improve in a year...but thank you for your kind words..It means a lot
20 year layoff and Ive been back at it for almost four months...its a new Gibson Granada. Thanks for the compliment...I should erase this video and do another, I have the song WAY smoother now...but I want to see this stuff in a year. Thanks again...Bobby

Why does the banjo loo easier to play at a quick pace than a guitar? It looks like the struming method is quite different.
