Cripple Creek

Cripple Creek played 3-finger Scruggs style. This is the first song I learned on the banjo, 5 years ago.

This was my dad's signature tune that he played when I was a kid. Every time I hear it I'm brought back in time and remember him, thanks!

You're welcome. We all have tunes that take us back to another time and good memories.

real nice to hear some improvisation in there. actually listened to that twice not something i normally do.

would have been nice to see more of you playing though see how you was fretting and not just your picking hand

[Banjomountain]

Thanks! This video was made a while ago and I'm going to make a new one. Now I try to film so the viewer can see both hands.

Why are banjos so darn expensive? I want to learn SO bad but I can't afford a banjo to learn on!

[Banjomountain]

Banjos, good ones, are hard to make. You can get banjos for under $200, but the quality and sound may be crummy. But I have had some success in finding banjos(used) from $100 to a few hundred $ and they sound great. Check your local classifieds, flea markets, music stores, etc.
