[Underpicker]

Thanks for posting such a greatly played version - best one I've heard

[wildjimbo]

@Underpicker Thanks! It's certainly a fun tune. :)

[jmyphillips]

Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

[wildjimbo]

@jmyphillips If you're ever up this way I'll give you the 10 minute clawhammer lesson. :)

[DaveyRhodes]

Thats such a beautiful tune! It's playing like that that makes the banjo amazing!

[qiminafix]

Dude, ive seen alot of amateurs put up videos of themselves playin folk intruments an such but you are by far the best ive seen. I hope you are a professional musician or in a band because not only do you play the banjo in a beautiful unique way but you have a wonderful, soulful bluesy voice. Seriously man keep doing what your doing because your a living legend.

[wildjimbo]

@qiminafix You're too kind. Thanks.

[qiminafix]

@wildjimbo No problem. But seriously you are amazing!

[MasonRugby91]

I remember you! We met on banjo lounge about 5 years ago. lol. Great pickin man. Thanks wild jimbo.

[DaveyRhodes]

[wildjimbo]

fCFCD - capoed up 2.

[jocwalk]

As always, great playing, Jim. The credits at the end are hilarious!

[banjozane]

By the Way, one of my good friends is from Acworth, GA. Feller by the name of Dave Dougherty. Excellent picker like you. He has taught me alot.

[banjozane]

great job Jim! i like all of your stuff! You play with feeling. I like to think you and I are on the same wavelength. Glad to see you don't have a sock stuffed in the back of your banjer!

[wildjimbo]

Thanks! Love your stuff too. As for the sock... well, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on what I'm shooting for soundwise.

[banjozane]

I usually opt for the sock when my wife threatens to stuff it in my mouth. I try to accomodate her by placing the sock in my banjo.

[liecht]

Beautiful! You should make a tutorial for those ( like me) who want to learn basics ( and beyond) from banjo playing.If you wouls so,What a good start! You are a master.Thanks

[r1z8]

[raap1]

damn. I really like what that banjo sounds like.

[starsuelady]

Great little song. :-))

[blindsunden]

fantastic tune, and fantastic technique jim! What tuning are you using for this, if you don't mind me asking?

[wildjimbo]

It's tuned in F. fCFCD

Glad you liked it!

[blindsunden]

ok thanks. is that the tuning before the capo's added or the tuning after? Sorry to keep asking!

[jackcr2]

Nice. Is that one of those Renaissance heads on the banjo? What kind of tone ring, if any, does it have? Thanks for sharing.

[wildjimbo]

Renaissance head and a Rosewood tonering. :)

[jackcr2]

Thanks Jim. Nice plunky sound.

[fridrikur]

Great playing. And great sounding banjo too.

Reminds me of Doc Watsons banjo sound

[HalfEach]

I have listened to Hobart Smirth, Roscoe Holcombe and Wade Ward. Who's next for clawhammer?

[bumblecrow]

I dig your style. Thats some fine old time banjo pickin.

[JuJuBuddy]

Real nice!

[Bikerdude69]

Very good! Love the banjo, and you have excellent style!

[walkingpictures]

[freshclip]

Superb clawhammer Jimbo. Very musical and entertaining

[mandiblephone]

Hey Jim. Any recommendations for instruction for clawhammer? Maybe you've put out some? Been playing 5 string for almost 30 years now and have always wanted to learn clawhammer. Figure I shouldn't wait another 30 to do it. :) Thanks for the video postings! They're great. :)

[sweettrack]

Great style !!!

Regards from Spain
