  • I have received a lot of requests for these tabs. Please note that you have to include your EMAIL ADDRESS when you send me a message. If you simply send me "Please send me the tabs." then i don't know who to email them to!

    Please include your email address and I will reply with the tabs in PDF and table Edit format. If you don't include your email address, my email goes to noreply@youtube.com and it bounces back in error.

  • @Buffalokillerml Best version ever heard. Can you please send me the tab?

  • What a nice version! Well played buddy!

  • So nice! I love it! There's a feeling good banjo playing gives me, and this is does. I played the banjo some and played Dixie, but not like this. You are the (banjo) man! :-)

  • Impressive!

  • WOW - Great job.

  • I know it's been 4 years since you posted this.. and as you can see.. it's become pretty popular... for good reason! It is extremely well played, and most of all it is an AMAZING arrangement of piece for banjo. I know that tabs are hard to put together, so I'm wondering if you would consider posting a video lesson on how to play this. I think I would be one of many banjo players who would be extremely grateful.

  • sorry i cannot like this......only because they dont have a love button

  • After many years have at last bought a banjo and at last have the time to learn its ways. Thank you for being a sauce of insperation and guidence to an eager but elderly student.

  • You have never heard music until you hear this.

    Greeting from Tarumi Japan!

  • You have never heard music until you hear this.

  • Hey ogershok, don't crack a smile.

  • You are very crisp. I'm just starting to play banjo and I can only hope to sound like that someday. Those chords you use are KILLER!!!! Thank you for this video.

  • Great playin' dear sir! It sure is too bad you haven't an album of solo banjo tunes!

  • Many thanks for your generosity ogershok in allowing me to use this truly superb rendition as the soundtrack to my video, which I have posted as a response.

    Youtube is a sharing community and I wish to thank you for sharing your formidable talent with us in the first place, and also for having the generosity of spirit to allow others to use your work in their projects.

    Best Regards.

  • i was never exactly proud to be from the south, but its stuff like this that makes me feel different, slowly over time. holy god that was awesome

  • From and English banjo palyer, the most awesome version of Dixie ever. Makes me wish ( almost ) I was an American !!

  • To arms' To arms' picking my banjo!

  • I love this! discovered this video a long time ago, and it's been an inspiration to me ever since. Been playing the banjo for about two years now, and this is definetely one of the songs I wanted to play. I do now (but in a bit simplified version:-)), all thanks to this video of yours! Thanks a lot sir

    greetings from antwerp, belgium

  • Wow! Love it. This is great. Thanks so much for sharing. Gwen

  • Well this is the only video I've ever seen with more than a hundred views and no dislikes. I can see why that was extremely impressive.

  • You remind me of Mr. Flanders from the Simpsons =P

    But very good banjo skills.

  • Dear ogershok. Care to reveal what tuning you´re using? Obviously it´s not standard tuning, as my with the banjo still unexperineced ear tells me? Or?

  • Possibly the best played Ive ever heard. Very nice.

  • I've seen it written somewhere that Abraham Lincoln , reviewing the victory celebration parade down Washington Avenue , had the band play DIXIE.

    He said it was his favorite tune.

    Great 5-string rendition. I saved as a favorite.

  • Very good.

  • I'm speechless... I absolutely love this song, and hearing you play it on the banjo makes it sound even better! I'm not from the South, but I'm fascinated by almost anything Southern.

    greetings from brazil!

  • it's a good song and you played it well, with a great progressive and evocative style.  juice up the joints with glucosamine, baby...rock on...you've got everything the soul of music can give.

  • BEAUTIFUL version of my favorite song "Dixie"! A true work of art.

  • Its obvious that you are methodically and melodiously patient, which makes you a musical genius. I assume the few videos you posted only scratch the surface? Well I'm itchin for more! Its been 6 months already!!

  • Thanks very much - but these vids were taped about a decade ago when I was making a video for my parent's 50th anniversary. I don't even have a video camera anymore and the old 60 year old fingers are slowwing down a lot. Doing mostly mandolin stuff now. I really appreciate your feedback.

  • Awesome! Only hope you will make another one...

  • Hello,

    I just found you thru a friend. I'm a Dixie gal and may I say that you just blew me away with this awe-inspiring piece of art!

  • That's what I live for!

  • Wow impressive, nice banjo playing ^^

  • This is by far and away my favourite youtube video. You've inspired me to take up learning the banjo. Thanks very much!

  • god bless you, beautiful song

    i love it, long live the south

  • Brilliantly played, truly. Is that a hard song to learn?

  • No, not really. What's hard is teaching it. Thank you very much for the kind words.

  • Could you do the Darktown Strutters' Ball on the Banjo? Please?? This is a request. I think it'd be amazing.

  • I could probably work it out but I don't have any video equipment now. These vids were done over ten years ago before I was a certified old geezer. Thanks for the kind words.

  • Wow, I never truly understood this tune until now. Grand!

  • THat was beautiful Dixie brings a tear to my eye every time

    i just got a banjo for Christmas

    and im starting scratch

    only played the harmonica

    anyone know any good tips or websites to learn this song and other great southern songs?

  • I don't know of any websites that are really helpful but a local teacher is probably the best idea. Preferably one who isn't totally hung up on hard core bluegrass. Best of luck!

  • Wow Great Job!

  • That's some dadgummed fine pickin'!

    ...in fact it's so good I'm tempted to steal the audio hahahha

    Great Job!

  • That was awesome man.

    I always thought dixie was one of the finest tunes I'd ever heard.

  • Thats the best Dixie arrangement ive heard on a banjo, Is that a gibson bow tie?

  • Thank you. Nope, that an old Gibson RB100 with the dot inlay. It's had a tone ring installed too.

  • great!!!

  • Do you have a songbook I could copy or have to learn how to play this song? I am OBSESSED with it and will learn it at any cost. I need the notes or the song book or something to read off of while I practice.

  • No, I'm sorry, I play strictly by ear. Thanks.

  • You sir, are the inspiration behind my wanting to learn the banjo. Is that song extremely diffiult to learn?

  • Thank you very much. Is it difficult? That's hard to answer because what's difficult for one is not necessarily difficult for another. I consider it fairly easy. I have to admit however, it's a reasonably advanced arrangement or so I've been told. Thanks again.

  • I think that is an extremely advanced version I can understand why you would think it is fairly easy with your talent but it is way beyond the avereage picker none the less though I admire your playing.

  • amazing...

  • so so sweet, very nice.

  • Does thes old bones some good

  • Thanks for the nice comment! No, actually this was based loosly on an arrangement I heard Dennis Caplinger play.

  • I thought I could play Dixie pretty good, but you blow mine out of the water. Did you ever get into Vess L. Ossman?
