this song is one that I made up but it is based upon other songs that I have heard that sound a lot like the old way of picking and things of that nature. -- by the way it's in the clawhammer style.

  • i think the songs pritty and is clawhammer hard to learn?

  • depends on who teaches it, or how you figure it. it's totally different to do than it looks.

  • What is the difference in sound between a resonator and an open back banjo?

  • open back sounds a bit more rustic, while the resonator gives a more "professional" sound. also resonator banjos are much louder.

  • thats wicked!!! which model gold tone is that? im thinking of geting an open back , where are you from ? Im from Toronto canada and i have never met anone who plays the banjo under the age of 50 cheers!

  • well I'm from down here in Georgia, there's a decent chunk of us youngin's who play but not much. that model that I have is a gold tone cripple creek 50. or CC-50. it has a bell brass tone ring. sounds real good once you file the sides of the bridge some and do some work on the top nut.

  • Hell yeah boy, Clawhammer or gtfo

  • good job, sure is authenic

  • I wish GoldTone would put the fifth key further back from the fourth fret like most banjo makers do. If you use a Paige or McKinney type capo, you can't capo the fourth fret accurately. I asked the GoldTone distributor at IBMA about this and he just laughed it off. He was there to sell banjos not give a hoot about what banjer pickers had to say.

  • The last tune is from Angeline The Baker, or sometimes called, Angelina Baker.

  • Good to see young people carry this on!

  • i love your style man, awesome song. beautiful sounding banjo. check out the song i just put on youtube.

  • sounds good, I got the CC-50 too. Been a great banjo for me learning on so far.

  • Very nice man, beautiful clawhammer
