I like the tricks and all, but it still makes sound when he's throwing that banjer in the air....how is that possible?

@Rev1981 He is "strumming" with his left hand on the neck of the banjo as it spins -- Uncle Dave Macon was the first (I believe)!

theres a video of Cordell Kemp (Leroys idol) on youtube interviewed by David Holt where he shows you those techniques spins and pull-offs etc. thats where i figured it all out.

@Rev1981 I think he is plucking with his fretting hand to keep the beat going. God knows how he does it when he goes 360 !

Only 23 likes? Even if you don't like Bluegrass, you've got to like the entertainment value. He was cool and very entertaining.
