muted plectrum banjo solo"close to you"

[tenorbanjo4]

Great music !

[voodoihippo]

Sounds like ukulele or bouzouki

Wonderful job of playing this piece. I especially like that you improvised over a chorus. Thanks for doing something different. Wish you had a spring mute , like the Bacons, or the armrest mutes on older Voxes. Hope to hear you do more melodic songs such as this. Thanks for sharing. Peter M

is there any way I could get tabs or sheet music for this???

[krushnoi]

Obviously this isn't a tenor banjo- with the longer neck I guess it's more mellow. than a tenor. Anybody know the tuning of this banjo. It can't be in fifths like the tenor.

I've never heard banjo playing that I really liked - Fleck, Scruggs, Keith regardless - until this. He is a master and a pleasure to watch.

[AirplaiTv]

wow, the best I have ever heard muted banjo played. Amazing.

[lunacybanduk]

its dificult to be sensitive with a banjo proper job

[Mucklum]

just beautiful. so nice to see the banjo has such a sweet and tender side to it, something you don´t come across too often. And Ken Aoki is just a blast to watch in general. Thanks for sharing this, thumbs up !

Magnificent, magical stuff as always. The improvisational chorus for both guys is inspired genius. Thanks for this great post.

He says he uses old "Elton" bridge mute,he took off its brass weight inside.

[gd230]

Whatta great sound... I have no experience with mutes used to produce such sounds.. What type mute is being used ?? Of course, he would make it sound terrific without the mute,,,
