Christian Williams - "Bison Jump"

Original banjo tune I wrote. I'm sure it shows that I'm self-taught - I only use the inside part of my thumbnail to pick the strings. I also use the same technique to play guitar. Guess I was born with a quick thumb.

My banjo is a "Zeppified" Deering Goodtime (Renaissance head, moon bridge, scooped neck). Tuning is eGCAD - a variation of the "Little Birdie" tuning (eCGAD).

I've never seen that technique before, and it's pretty impressive. I can't see how you're getting all those notes! Very cool.

im thinking about replacing my banjo head with a ren head. i have a cheapy rogue open back. was wondering if your ren head is high collar, medium, or low. im guessing the two have similar needs. thanks.

cool technique. I've never seen anyone play banjo like that. I was wondering, how deep is the scoop on those banjos?
