a bit late on but have you seen the way Martin Simpson's hands dance around when he's playing clawhammer? seems a very unusual style!

Wow ... the internal reso has a mighty fine sound! Nice one Zepp!

[slimpickensrx]

Very nice! Sounded better than Kyle Creed! You've inspired me to learn that one zepp. just found the tab in brad leftwich's book! thanks!

[boogpatton]

Mighty sweet there Zepp! That banjo has quite the ring!

[jcommins]

Hey Zepp, I like how "quiet" your right hand is. Any suggestions for how a novice can reduce the unneeded movement in the right hand? I'm all over the place.

[zeppmusic]

@jcommins Hmmm... Other than the obvious ("don't move your hand so much" which sounds kinda flip), I'm not sure what to tell you. I do play pretty much from the wrist, rather than the elbow, but there are those who argue vehemently that the only way to play is from the elbow. I find Dan Levenson's suggestion to imagine that you're knocking on a door to be a good description of how I move my hand, and recommend that to my students.

Hope that helps!

[slimpickensrx]

@jcommins I feel like practice is the only way to get your right hand to become more efficient and not move so much. I look back on my old videos and my hand was all over the place. I feel like it's kind of settled

[jcommins]

Hey Zepp, love you stuff. What's the tuning here?

[zeppmusic]

@jcommins

Just gDGBD (though the tune is usually played tuned or capoed to A: aEAC#E)

[zeppmusic]

@jcommins Thanks! I was tuned to plain old open G (gDGBD) or something close to it (I don't always go off in search of a tuner...)

[Smokess4]

great!!!

[flynreel]

great video, good job my friend

[banjony]

I just learned this tune last week, so its wild that you posted this. I love this tune and the sound on that fretless is wonderful.
