Banjo instrumental

This is more-or-less Frank Jenkins' "Babtist Shout" as learned from a recording by the redoubtable Frank Basile, with great liberties taken with the melody.

I love Baptist Shout and your deviations from the original are refreshing and tasteful - sounds great! I am friends with Frank. Does he have any videos posted on YouTube?

[rottenhubert]

Thanks for your kind words! Yeah, search for "frankie12string" if you want to hear some of the best string band music on the 'tube.

Thanks guys. It's a John Grey banjo from the '40s, made in England...

I just sampled this and made a dubstep remix for a friend. Hope you enjoy!!!

Man, that's beautiful. One of my favorite songs, you play it very well, and I really like your tasteful variations.

I agree with those here. Sweet tone, sweet playing.

Thank you!

Very nicely done. Great tone, expertly played. Was wishing there was just a bit more of your right hand fingers even at the expense of the top of your head. lol Thanks for posting. Maybe a repost with that adjustment? (Not that I don't think the top of your head is great too) . :-)

[MrLongtimegone]

try praticeing the D chord( F#) with the right fingers and you won't break the timing on the song. I love the tune and just learned it from your playing .Nice job except for the part I just said.What is the name of the tune. Thanks
