[MegaYumyum12]

This is great makes me want to dance. Little Maggie is my favorite, but I love the words too. If you sing should sing it!!!!

[MrNeilpeartfan]

Wow! Is this your own version???

[lotsip]

great

[5stringmikey]

nice! I use that bluesy melodic lick where you fret the 5th string pretty often in songs like Lil Maggie. Great Job!

[toraassm]

I must say. This is well done. Are you in a band?

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

@toraassm -Yes I play in a band called Common Strings

[NooGods]

MOST EXCELLENT dude! Yeh... I can hear the Trishka-esque influences... but your very own spin as well.  Nice energy in your playing... and pretty damn clean. Yup... 5 big stars.

[blueslover777]

Hey nate36bus! You're an idiot. This was some awesome picking. He completely made it his own. I loved it! Keep on pickin that banjo!

[fiddlerman1]

what kind of banjo is that?

[BenJenkinsbanjo]

its an RB-75 JD crowe model

[shug66]

Just loved it dude!!!!thanks for putting it on

[nate36bus]

Meh, that was decent. Your licks are clearly canned and oftentimes don't match or mesh well with each other. Why don't you learn to play the banjo instead of memorize a bunch of licks and stack them together. Afterall, you're playing music not reciting the alphabet, make it your own, make it interesting.

[s810ist]

I think you just defined Scrugg's style banjo playing! I once read that Scruggs invented industrial music because he advocated mechanical style playing of learning rolls and licks. I play clawhammer myself, and find it more melodic and musical.

[blueslover777]

Why don't you listen to his other videos? I think you'll eat your words.

[blueslover777]

nate36bus- Can you do that? Until you post something that tops what this gentleman did, you don't have any room to talk. period.

[SwitzerlandStudios]

Post a video of you playing anywhere near this level. I dare you.

[jdpkbb]

little maggie awesome tune..good choice..working on my version right now. The version you played of little maggie is very similar to a version on an old homespun video by Tony Trischka, without your input and melodic licks of course. Great work man!

[smashking2]
