Melodic Clawhammer: Banjo Bagpipes!!!

This one is just for fun.
Scottish Bagpipe Tunes seem to work quite well in the melodic clawhammer style. Have a listen and see what you think. BE WARNED! It may be too much for some peoples musical sensibilities to cope with a combination of Banjo AND Bagpipes; probably the two most ridiculed instruments ever! If so, avoid this clip. Otherwise, Enjoy!!

how'd you make your banjo drone?! ;)

@jumpoffmountaineers It's a trick! The drones are just a sound effect using a 'soft-synth'. I thought it would add to the bagpipe sound. Thanks for your interest.

Awesome! Say, ever heard Dick Gaughan playing the 51st Highland Divisions Farewell to Sicily? I think you'd find it interesting, it's on Youtube if you care to look into it. Again, very well played.

There was somebody just now (Apr 21,2011) who posted a link to this video on the Banjo Hangout for 55,000 of us banjo pickers to enjoy, as an example of the incredible diversity of songs which may be done on the banjo. Thank you for making the video. I liked it.

Magnificent! I love Celtic tunes on the banjo--especially in clawhammer style. You did a great job playing 'em, too. Thanks for posting this. It brightened my day. Thumbs up to you.
