Good video man. Would you be able to make a video solely about backup for any song instead of a specific song. Theres no good videos out there for backup banjo, however it's one of the most important parts of playing with a band or another musician.
Funny you should ask since I removed it , and installed spikes, shortly after this video was shot. It's a Shubb 5th string capo and you can find them online or I'll sell you mine dirt cheap.
I think it's REALLY REALLY GREAT, Sean, that you put so much helpful, encouraging and good quality (i.e. including chords in the lower right corner!) banjo teaching material up here on YouTube - thank you very very much! :-D I will look out for more in future from you on different songs - bluegrass mostly? Some 'pop' maybe? Some 'country' maybe? Cheers!
at the beginning after the slide from 2-5 you dont have to put your middle finger on the fourth when you play that part.

Where is the Am chord in cripple creek?

The Am is a substitution for the D7 in this particular example.

Where can I find it? Thanx for your offer, but i think i'll let someone else take that opportunity, (dunno if i spelled that right)

Actually, I might consider it after seeing how darn expensive they are, what price did you have in mind?
WEIRDALROXMYSOX 4 years ago
Oh, and would it fit a Deering Goodtime?
WEIRDALROXMYSOX 4 years ago
I would recommend going with spikes but I'll sell you my Shubb for $20 shipped.
And yes it will fit on any banjo.
