Good Lord have mercy, I love the sound of a banjo! Thanks for the video - I just found out I've been clucking wrong. Thanks for setting me right!

..I've been doing the cluck and not even knowing it sometimes haha.
Great video
-
Sounds fantastic - Right now I'm working on a "Cluck" that can be heard at the end of the street! Thanks for the useful video Mr Woodchuck

when you are obviously ignorant about a subject, it is better to keep quiet. contributors don't get paid for their time and effort, and deserve more than a stupid and mean comment from ignorant jerks.

this is a nicely produced, and helpful video, on a technique that is widely used by clawhammer banjo players. I found it really helpful, thanks Oldwoodchuck!

Sounds really horrible

Oldwoodchuck here again. RSB is now available on the web. just put rocket science banjo together as a single word and do the dottedcom ending

I had to go back and check. I had forgotten. The Tune is "Rock The Cradle Joe" and I first got it from Alan Block but it is found all over the country now. It is a relative of "Soldier's Joy" and exists in several forms. The Skillet Lickers recorded "Rock The Cradle Lucy" which is a variant - or perhaps "Joe" is the variant.

whats the name of that lovely little tune at the end of lesson two please?

I'm Tony Spadaro - the guy in the video. This is just a note to let everyone know there is a new edition of Rocket Science Banjo, the ebook, available complete with about 36 easy clawhamemr tabs. It's free. Just send an email to oldwoodchuckb AT yahoo Dot com with RSB in the subject line. I will not keep or re-use your email address.

The tune is "Down On Penny's Farm" and it is in the key of D. I use Double C tuning. My capoing is 2 frets higher than most as I tune my banjo a full tone low.
