Falls of Richmond - Amanda Jane

[ArkRed1]

Nice.

[kipperbassbox]

go for it and play it as you want, if this was Mozarts 5th then you gotta play it as writ...but.....hell, my granny used play this different evry time she played it :o)

[Andreecals]

sexy play!

[SlothyTwoToes]

I think what snooty was tryin to say was your banjo pickin is almost as purty as you. He just got a little carried away, bless his heart.

[snootywaiter]

There's something about a woman playing the banjo that I find very erotic.

Anywho, great playing.

[cestlavie20]

What key are you in?

[arcitejack]

remember to land the thumb...shouldn't rest on 5th string.  great tune.

[suimeikai]

@arcitejack

thanks but no thanks, plenty of great players rest their thumb on the 5th string.

@suimeikai true dat, its all a matter of personal comfort and preference. i say play the banjo however the hell you feel is right. when people start picking apart proper hand technique, i start yawning. ive had guitar "teachers" tell me that it is "wrong" to ever wrap my thumb around the neck. its all a matter of opinion, and every player or pretend player will give you a slightly different one. love the playing keep it up =)

thanks for sharing, Amanda.

currently learning this tune by watching your video again and again...

still need some practice to get a clean sound anyway ;)

very nice playing!

Hey enjoyed your videos....wish I knew people as cool as you up here...I could sing and you could play on an open mic night up here in Cleveland! I used to live outside Charleston with my Grandmother back in the day...mountain people are different lot...but truly they are not the different ones...more like the ones who didn't need to "change"-so to speak:)

[bluegrassgirl321]

[RayBthesecond]

great job Amanda Jane.I would love to play banjo like that but I only know guitar,but someday I'm gonna try a banjo and a fiddle!Keep up the good work!

[suimeikai]

hey thanks for the compliments! someday shomeday, try fiddle and banjo now. you ain't gettin younger, and the days ain't gettin any longer :)

[Bfeito]

Awesome...might I ask what tuning you are using?

I dig the clear head on your banjo by the way.

Cheers!

[suimeikai]

thanks! it's g modal tuning.

[williamsriver1]

I don't know whats prettier, the music or you. Iam a hilbilly, and it just gets me all choked up inside.....lol

Kep up the good work girl

[festusbug]

Check out your right hand - you're carrying a bit too much tension. Nice playing but ...

[suimeikai]

i pick with the knuckle on my index finger...and i always will...

[citicoron]

You play good! I've been playing a lifetime - or more. I just know what I learnt from the old folks around here in SE Tenn as far as playing banjo. Same goes for when I played gtr in a R&B show band, too. Genre don't matter - it's that truevine element that runs deep and sticks to you. When you learn first hand from the source, it doesn't matter whether somebody's got better technique. Eldia Barbee played while dying; Bob Douglas died at the age of 101 on the way to a gig. Play on

[suimeikai]

it's not as strong a statement as what i originally wanted to say. i bit my tongue quite a bit...

thanks a lot for compliments! cheers.

[baanjoguy]

Sounds good .Thanks for posting.
