(UPDATE 2/26/09) - 10,000 profile views. Wow.

This channel is devoted, I guess, to videos of myself playing music. While this might sound narcassistic, I do it with benevolent intent. I've used YouTube videos for a long time to learn new songs and techniques, and hopefully, somebody might benefit likewise from watching my videos as well.

This is all traditional Irish session music, like you would hear in most pubs either catering to tourists or hosting legtimate, informal gatherings of musicians.

Many people will notice that my play style relies heavily on hammer-on triplets instead of traditional plucked triplets. This is just how my style naturally evolved without instruction. If you have a problem with it, keep it to yourself because I worry about it enough without needing outside assistance in the matter.

Original tune: Davenport's Waltz (maybe a mazurka)

February 23, 2009, 07:10 PM

I know this is more than a little too fast to be a waltz, but I don't know what else to call it. I wrote it after visiting with legendary old-time fiddler Clyde Davenport last weekend in Jamestown, Tennessee. The bouzouki is a Scottish-made Freshwater, and is tuned to ADAD. ...

"The Tennessee River Reel" Original Tune

February 10, 2009, 06:30 PM

This is an original tune I wrote this afternoon after talking to my friend, who's currently working on a project involving a two-day journey on a paddle boat up the Tennessee River. I've composed it in the style of a traditional Irish tune, so that's how it's being tagged.

	fla1990 (3 months ago) how many instruments do you play??
	SqueezeboxJoe (3 months ago) Wow.... you rock. Unbelievable playing. I have a request... is it possible that you could make a couple recordings with your Freshwater zouk? Only I know someone who's thinking of getting one.
	Sicilianshotgun90 (3 months ago) Dude, i love the banjo, ur videos rule! Can i make a request? Could u do a video of u playing "The High Reel"? That song is really great!
	superbobbrill (4 months ago) i really injoyed listenng to your tunes. i was delighted to learn mason apron never thought i wud never be able to learn it. (thanks a million) ps. any chance you could do a tutorial on moving cloud from david
	bachman84 (4 months ago) To bad that Bucks of oranmonre is gone, I liked that one and it was so good playing the bodhran allong to. Well keep up the good work mate.
	bullndl (6 months ago) great videos mate u should play rocky road to dublin sounds great on the banjo ...invite:)

	hamnhock (7 months ago) i think your hammer-ons and tripletts soung great ,,,i cant imagine anyone having a problem with them...keep on pickin ,,you sound awesome
	slimpickensrx (7 months ago) I hadn't notice your use of hammered on triplets in your videos. I actually prefer the sound of them. Clawhammer banjo tends to rely heavily on left-handed fills because the limitations of the stroke. Great videos!
