[thelawless999]

can anybody tell me the brand/model of this banjo?

[sav1028]

@thelawless999 This is a Deering Goodtime 2. It was my very first banjo, and I have since sold it (I play a Huber Lancaster now.)

[urgdaddy]

Yeah...the mark of a pro...minimal movement of the 3-picker fingers and all while anchoring the fourth on the skin. Great Job.

[sav1028]

@urgdaddy Thanks! Took some time to get that fourth finger anchored, but it sure does help! I made this video some years ago, thank goodness my playing has improved since then! :)

@3hardrider7 That's for sure! We've got a future Earl Scruggs here! Nice job! Especially on the up the neck parts. That's so far my favorite part of the tune, and the prettiest part as well.
