  • Truly excellent rendition of Mr. Martin's classic medley. I'm in total agreement with denrizza; the master would be honored.

  • @MrSwLehr Thanks mate,  such a kind comment. :)

  • Holy smokes dude! I've been watching that clip of Steve Martin for years and you mastered it!!! Thank you for putting this out there and maybe, just maybe the rest of us can come close. But man oh man, now we need to have you and Steve Martin play a duet !!!

  • @dreyfusfunkt Thanks man, really appreciate you taking the time to comment!

  • Hello Frailerpark,

    great banjoplaying. You play it the way (tuning) Steve Martin does. Another possability is to tune in double C (gCGCD) and put the capo on the second fret, so then you play in D, of course. I think it is a bit easier to do as playing in open D.

    Unfortunately I have no video (yet) of me playing it in double C. If you wish to, I can record a small video with the most important parts. Again, you did a great job on this. Cheers from the Netherlands.

  • @ClawhammerAnton Cheers, get that video up :)

  • You got it man! ' Nailed it perfectly. What I appreciate also is that we now have a better camera angle to see the whole arrangement. ' Really surprised that anyone else can play it that well because I know how hard it is. Thanks, from Alberta Canada

    Steve Martin released the tabs to his The Crow album, it can be found on Amazon.
