  • Great job JIm, i have been wanting to learn that song ever since i heard Mike Seeger do it, if i can figure it out half as good as you have done i will be happy.

  • @TheJimKeith Thanks! I posted a tab of it over at the Banjo Hangout. Let me know if you can't find it. :)

  • i love your playing and i love this song, but at 25 seconds i cant help but laugh at the little quagmire head nod. i sat here watching it for about 5 minutes laughing.

    I gave double C a shot. i was back in open G within an hour.. i had no idea what i was doing in double C lol. i think i'll just have to stick to three finger picking.

  • @jessupar It's always amusing for me when I go back and watch myself. Glad to have shared that amusement with you.

    As for double c, it's a great tuning for 3 finger too.

  • what tuning are you playing this in? double c?

  • Yes - Double C.

  • (:BLUEGRASS RULES:)Enjoyed Da Listen.Love it.Your You Tube Bro.(~;yrral Mallik of Songramp AKA Larry Gordon Killam of Facebook Group Songwriters Unite over 1800 members;~)

  • @wildjimbo I've still got a LOT to learn in either style, on the right hand atleast, so i think i might better try open C in a couple more years so i have some sort of fighting chance, haha. For now I'll have to stick to a tuning my left hand knows.

  • I love bluegrass, too, but this is "old-time" clawhammer banjo, not bluegrass Scruggs-style picking. But both are forms of Appalachian stringband music, so it's all good. :-)

  • Thanks for all these videos. You do some of the cleanest frailing I've ever seen. Something to work toward, haha!
