High definition from 1969?

@AzathothianBrew Ha ha! :-)

Very impressive. It's time the versatility of the banjo is shown. The guitar has gone thru so many evolutions and is a staple in so many other genre's of music while the banjo has stayed in a time warp. Bravo for taking it out of the appalachian mountains and showing what else this beautiful instrument is capable of.

Thanks so much, glad you appreciate the music!

[ZillahMeedan]

this is amazing. this is exactly what i've been looking for. how did you tune the banjo?

[arimarsh]

thank you... i just create an open tuning by ear, one that has that droning Indian sound...

[Django5198]

This guy is a superb player!!! And what kind of banjo is that?

[naomida]

I would also love to know what tuning this is.

[FlatfootJohnny]

I've always thought the Banjo can be played to have a very exotic sound.
