Cripple Creek

Here it is for those of you who've been asking. My attempt at the well known cripple creek. The up the neck part was giving me fits today so I left it out. Maybe I'll make another one with the whole song later. Sorry again for the sound. My Gold Star overwhelms the mic a bit.

Great job, pardner! And what a good sounding banjo you have! Sorry you had to sell it to survive, man. Hopefully, you will be able to get a new one. And yeah, believe me, you can still play it, you would be amazed of how your own brain works and memorize things, telling you this by own experience,

@MSfeller Thanks, I sure hope that holds true for me. Its not looking like I'll be able to work anything out anytime soon but who knows. Oh yeah I honestly think that Goldstars are the best you can get for the money. Thanks for stoppin' by and subscribing!

Most people don't know it, but my first banjo isn't the one I currently own. I bought one once and practiced just a couple of weeks, and memorized She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain. My banjo was then stolen, with other belongings. That was it. For nearly a year, I never thought of restarting. I finally gathered a couple of hundred bucks and bought me a cheap one. I sat on the porch and slowly, after a period of three days, the whole song came back to me. Our brain is amazing. You can do it!

Given the chance I'll certianly giver her a go again. Well see if that ever happens. Thanks for the encouragement either way.

Happy pickin' to ya.

Many thanks, I had to sell that banjo last fall so I wouldn't lose my house and this was about a year ago so I doubt I could play it that well anymore. God willing I'll be able to buy another one sometime soon.

Nope, this is the first instrumentI have ever played.

Awesome. You say you've been playing a little over a year. Did you play any other instrument prior to the banjo?

[traildust32]

Thank you, I've played this one more times then I can remember and that helps alot. Well I started playing back in June of last year, taking lessons from a local picker. Back in July he decided to quit so I've been on my own since and honestly slacking on my practice. I don't make much progress on my own, hopefully another teacher will become avalible.

Thanks for the kind comment! This is a Goldstar HF 100, sounds and plays great. I bought this from Elderly Instruments in grand rapids, MI back in June. Feel free to send me a message, I've done quite a bit of looking on these before I bought it. I'd be happy to tell you more if you'd like. Mike
