Good job... so now I have yanked out the hollow body and the old Crate amp (so I can change voices) plus my dandy old Vega five string. What tuning are you using on the banjo? I see you play the D chord regular, so I'm guessing open G?
@easterfilmsdotcom So, for the rank amateur that I am, I feel like you have a good handle on the MTB sound. What tips could you give so I can catch a similar flavor? What scales to practice, what new and creative ways to torture my poor fingers?
Amazing, this is a great song, my dad is a guitarist and over the years he has claimed to have "lost alot of his talent" and i have picked up the guitar over the last few years on and off and very recently i began learning the basics of this song. its a great song. im only 16 currently and my dad has been pushing me to be better cause he was never a solo man so i hope to keep getting better then soon be able to solo so easily. i just wanna compliment you on how good this is and youve inspired me
@sam7322 Thanks Sam. This is one of my all time favorite tunes and a fun one to play. I'm glad you're inspired and I hope to hear more from you. Be sure to watch the 2 tutorials I did for this song and if you want to play lead guitar, remember it's all about the ROOT NOTE OF THE CHORDS!
Hey, that sounded great. You are very talented and I encourage you to keep up the awesome work. If you don't mind, could you please send me the banjo tab - I would like to try to learn it.
That was great. Hey, if you'd like the banjo tab to Long Hard Ride, the way John McEuen picked it with Marshall Tucker on the recording, shoot me an email and it's yours. (BTW, McEuen's tunes his banjo to a D-tuning on this song.)
