Good job dude

[JHelmet]

Hey Jack, Jim here. Good job on this tune man. Keep it up! :)

[Banjomountain]

Thanks Jim. This was made over 2years ago and I've improved since then. It's one of my favorite songs to play.

[catchingsecond]

Very nice. I just started learning this song today.

I too have a Gold Tone OB250. You can find them used as low as $500.

[owsleyforkmusic]

yay i finally learned it

[Banjomountain]

Congratulations.

[owsleyforkmusic]

imma learn this song afteri get done with fox on the run

[mrsa4488]

I play Reubens train on the guitar. First time I have heard it on the banjo. Very nice!!

[stringplayer07]

Hey ESSEXBLUE SHARP, i would recomend getting an FB-58 fender banjo. They are very nice banjo's , and will last you a while they are usually $600.

[raulin]

totally agree with you stringplayer07! got one myself and I'm really happy with it

[BanjoMaster318]

The deering goodtime is also a option

[jdpkbb]

Howdy and great work on this classic Scruggs number. Those chokes were flawless. Keep on keepin on with the solid pickin...yeehaw.

[Banjomountain]

Thank You.

[banjobozo]

Did you make any modifications to that ob-250?

[Banjomountain]

Yes. I addded D-tuners, replaced the thumbscrews and mounts, changed out the armrest, added a pick-up, and changed out the tuning buttons. None of those changes really affected the sound/tone, mainly just for comfort and looks.

[Banjomountain]

I understand your point exactly. Banjos like the Gold Tone Cripple Creek or Deering Goodtime banjos are built with craftsmanship and sound really good for a great affordable price. I would recommend either brand because I know that they aren't pieces of junk and that they don't flush your bank account.

[ultfishrman]

hey just a little pointer, at the very end of this song during the last harmonic on the low D string, to get that fading sound scruggs had you just have to push on the banjo head a little bit. dont break it lol, but just push with a finger or two and it will give that sound

[Banjomountain]

Thank You. I've seen other players do that. I usually turn the banjo by the neck sort of quickly to get that same sort of effect.

[turkeyhunter25]

[mbv41]
