Me playing Earl Scruggs's "Flint Hill Special"

My first banjo tune. As I'm a beginner at banjo (just got it for Christmas), this is more or less "Flint Hill Special"-lite, as I don't have the necessary skills yet, nor the D-tuners. But I don't think it's half bad for half a week of banjo practice.

Comments would be appreciated.

So how many other stringed instruments do you play?

I also have an autoharp and ukelele. I don't own a mandolin or bouzouki, but theoretically know how to play them.

I love banjo, but don't know anything about playing it. I look forward to future posts.... Nice to see you again, back from Scotland?

[Kirobaito]

I am, indeed.

Well done, Ive been playing banjo for 20 years now and this is my favourite version i ever heard of Flint Hill, you have a nice, easy, chilled and relaxed way of playing, cool 5*.

That was really cool - a very mellow version of Flint Hill Special. An inspiration for beginning banjo players.

Liked this one too! Have fun courting your new banjo-it'll mature like your guitar. [this is the limit of my knowlege of string intruments]. But nonetheless great video! And I too look forward to hearing about Scotland!

As Steve Martin said, the banjo is a very happy instrument! Good job!

Congratulation with the new banjo. Nice playing and nice haircut. If you have been to Scotland, you have at least been close to my time zone, but you didnt knock at my door. Please tell us about your trip to Scotland, I am curious to know about it.
