[2300Kenzie]

Awesome! I had a hard enough time learning this on guitar, but he made it look easy. I don't know how my maestro back in Spain would have appreciated it, but this is a wonderful banjo piece.

[Databug13]

lol it's just him people, it is a single instrument.

[runbambirun]

@Databug13 but it says 'DUO style'. What does that mean? It doesn't look like he's picking the melody.

[scrollandkey]

Thats more like Recuerdos de la Alabama..

What's the tuning?

[mirekpatek]

The tuning is AEG#B (AEG#H in German spelling), that means three halftones below CGBD tuning.

[toneringer]

[plchv]

[grannieone]

Hi, Excellent playing, is that a piano playing the base notes or are you getting them as well?

[Jespermohrjensen]

A single instrument plays all the notes in Recuerdos :)

[willtaylorguitar]

Erm, Recuerdos is almost always played on a single instrument (normally the guitar, which it was written for, but I've heard it on harp too). Impressive performance nonetheless.

[Especabo]
