Rockin' out on clawhammer slide banjo with greasy fingers

I thought about namin' this "Carburator Adjustments" since I'd been out workin' on the Rambler before I wrote it, but I think "Greasy Fingers" might be a better name. Sure am having fun. The banjo, by the way, is the Lyon & Healy - Van Epps 5 string conversion I re-did a while back.. Some fun.

Absolutely great!!! I've been following your lessons since april and have got myself coming along. I have been trying to figure out "Greasy Fingers" but its tough by ear...any chance of a re-post with some shots of the slide-work?

@jackuppercut You know, that's one of those songs where I've no idea what tuning I was in or what I played. Just came in and grabbed up a banjo one day and went at it for a while. Wish I could be more helpful....

Plays banjo like nobody's business AND he owns a Rambler. Awesome. Wish my Dad still had his old 69 SC...
