Jon Eric playing Devil's Dream on the 5 string banjo

[quantomintomentum]

Thankyou Jon for that. I'm trying very hard to learn the banjo and I've been playing for 2 years now. Self-taught from Tony Trischka's 5 string banjo book. I just got on to this song and found your version very helpful and clear in getting my head around the tune before I try it. Lee, UK.

Excellent pickin'! Is that some J.S. Bach you slipped in there near the middle?

[jakethefiddle]

[tcbrenc]

Originally an Irish fiddle tune, called "The Devil Among the Tailors" .. great rendition!

[Robin18us]

It looks like you're picking so lightly, yet that banjo is loud as heck.We know you're hiding an amp inside it...LOL.

Thanks for the info Jon and Eric. The Stelling is a wonderful instrument. Geoff Stelling is mentioned countless times in the "Banjo Newsletter" publication. He is widely respected.

I play a 1980 Ome, it's handmade, the company was located in Boulder, CO... Ever hear of of the Ome?

Both of you are really good players.

[JonEricMusic]

Yes back a few years ago I had the honor of touring OME banjos in Boulder- They are amazing to play and see how they build them!

@JonEricMusic

Jon,

What tablature would you recommend for a beginner? I love this song.

[Simplegifts100]

Wonderful technique of both hand, it sounds nice! Are you playing a Mastertone? Your banjo sounds a heck of a lot nice than mine! (Mine has more of a "frailing" tone. How good to see someone enjoy it so! :-)

[JonEricMusic]

Yes it is a 1988 Stelling Bellflower Arch-top.

It's the only acoustic banjo I own and play currently.

I do have an Iida beginner that I played up to about 5 years ago before I bought the Stelling.

Thanks a TON for stopping by!

Banjoistically yours,

Jon Eric

[iowacitycowboy]

I've seen him play at the mill in Iowa City with a few guitar players. jon is a fenominal banjo player.

[graciemuldoon]

beautiful !!

[chonnelly]

I totally agree

[Bontat]

Nice Job Jon,

You really make that banjo ring. What a tone! I can see why they call it a Bell-flower
