Auld Lang Syne

[TheObserver37]

Nice. Heard a version of this by Kentucky Colonels where banjo player uses the tuning pegs to change the notes.

[THX1449]

Dude, I've been watching this video annually since I first heard your playing. Just to let you know, it's part of my new years celebration every year :)

[Thumpyf]

happy new year =D

[nosushi4you]

I've gotta say man, I found this video last Christmas, and it's now a staple of my holiday season. It's so beautiful sounding, and you're just an excellent player. I'll continue to listen to this, and show it to all my friends who like holiday music. I hope you have a wonderful winter.

[mistaende665]

[rosabananskall]

awesome!

[colin7983]

sound

[Australia19911509]

you are INSANELY good! At the beginning I was like: aawh, and at the end I was like: WHOOHH!!

when you twist your tuning knobs! Legend!

[sthnwatch]

I just got the lyrics man and sang along to you. You've touched my heart with this little effort. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

[sthnwatch]

Mate, that is awesome!!!!!! Such a simple man you are, with such a simple ability to make such a classic piece stand firm for all time! Well done, seriously, well done. One of the best renditions of this melody I've ever heard ( and I've heard many). It's missing only one thing that would've made it perfectly complete and that's a bunch of people singing along to it. God bless you, I hope you find your chops bro!!

[efsq]

[existingappointment]

I had this feeling that he was close to tears. I could be projecting because I can't hear this song with out crying. But I was feeling that, he was feeling the emotion of this song very deeply. At any rate, Thank you, so much, for this song!

Happy 2009 England.

[TheTeenGodfather]

[holdthis]

Yeah, there's lots of banjos in the Middle East. I can see why you might think that.

[guitaryoyo]

YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT BANJO PLAYER ; I play banjo myself, (go and watch my videos), and I know how hard this tune is to play it well like you did!!**********

[Hessu26]

fake!!, How could the same riff played, when the frets is not pushed?? This same man surely plays this song as this sounds like, but not in this video.

[norfe]

i could play better on a wal-mart banjo

[KyOlar]

[pizzaeater1979]

Sounds excellent - been listening to this while "dueling" the guitar version very slowly. (and not a patch as good as your take)

Chords: G/D/G/D/C/G/D. ?

[fookingmrsschwein]

I like the banjo since I saw the movie Harold and Maude. I like your version!

[bluesbrothersrock]

it was alright but it is not auld land syne without the bagpipes.

[eneds]

awsome!

[dbanjoman]

awsomel i move my mouth too when i play...i guess its just a picker thing

[dbanjoman]

i actually think they are called scruggs tuners doogie

[doogiesoprani]

he is playing he has 2 special pegs for detuning and retuning to the same pich i think they are called keith d tuners

[awsomel]

he is playing the banjo because his is doing what all banjo players do (watch his mouth move) my brother is a banjo player and he does that

[dbanjoman]

you guys at the top are crazy...i play banjo and he is playing....and he is kick tail..the detuning part is possible just listn to earl scrugss' "earls breakdown"

good job lost my chops

[AGNIPATH06]

he is not playing...but who cares...we like the music

[Swordsman1219]

about a minute 44 seconds in u can tell he isnt playing

[BanjoBoog]

Nice playing, I know that he didn't fake but a general question: How did he stop using his left hand to make the chords in the middle of the song?

[phrozentimestudios]

??????????? WHAT IS THIS!!!

[niceveritt]

auld lang syne!

[rickyslatton]

What are you? Deaf? This guy is good and you know you like it, you just don't want your friends to know. That's the trouble with our society. We are afraid to admit we like something because we are worried about what

our peers might think about us.

[ethan3786]

i hear banjos.....

[sakiusad]

Happy new year, thank you for the music..

[klmn10]

happy new year's eve !!!

[sweetaffliction]

happy new year every 1 !!!

[thechinadesk]

Auld Lange Syne on the banjo? It shouldn't work, but amazingly enough, it does.

Yee ha!

[beach1963]

I'm the same way on my mandolin and squeezebox-- if I try playing slowly, it's laborious. If I speed up a bit, the ol' muscle-memory takes over, and it becomes easier and more fluid. Have a great 2008!

[thegrumpysailors]

that was amazing

happpy new year buddy

[love4talent]

Excellent my man! Have a wonderful 2008 from my family to yours!

Bill

Muscle Shoals, Alabama
