That may be because it is not a banjo, it is a guitjo - a six string guitar on a banjo body. It allows guitar players to make the banjo sounds without learning the banjo. This dude makes it sound great

From cheyenne wyoming here born and raised! The lincoln is a beloved theater that used to play dollar movies and has been around since the cowboy days. It's been turned into a music venue in the last few years, and although it breaks my heart to not get to see movies there anymore, I believe bringing artists like this to our little western town is so amazing!! The lincoln will never die ❤

Got to see Jalan when he was opening for Robert Earl Keen in Birmingham, AL way back when. Still have my autographed copy of Moonshiner somewhere. Glad to see he's still kicking and picking. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and great music in my ears both then and now.

Still my favorite song i play it everyday haha, anytime i think im getting bored of just listening, i watch the video and the magical nature of his picking revamps my love for the song and the cycle repeats

The Audio mix on this is fantastic!

Shout-out from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! Hell yes Brother! God this is awesome! Woooo!! Pick that damn thang!

I’ve listened to this about 100 times, and just realized, the thumbnail is him playing a 5 string and this song is on a 6 string. *pats own back*

Now THAT is music. Getting shivers.

I got super excited at first because I thought I saw a 5 string banjo, and then I was a little disappointed, and then I got super excited again when I saw what he could do with his banjitar

That's about the best banjo playin I have ever seen and heard

Sully the manager for the Kennecott mines would be there on the 4th of July for Grandmother's Birthday.

Also, always hard to translate banjo to guitar in songs like this, but you can use the chords below to play it. Standard Tuning, No Capo. Please note I didn't write down the whole solo, just play Em and Bm all the way through Intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Interludes Em Bm Em Verses Em Bm/ Em Bm/ Em Bm/ Em Bm Em Solo: Just Em and Bm all the way through, switch when it fits [Intro] Em Bm Em Bm Em [Verse 1] I've been a moonshiner since that I was born Drunk upon my money, still love all my corn Go to some dark holler, put up a moonshine still Brew you half a gallon for a five dollar bill [Interlude] Em Bm Em [Verse 2] Go to some dark holler, fix you some booze It burn like satan's ulcers but it kill of them blues Come on all you moonshiners, we'll stand all in a row Your look's so sad and lonesome, sad and lonesome, yes I know [Verse 3] Well bring me a little sugar, bring the lasses by the drum If a little time and some Carboline we could drink til the morning come Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 1] I've been a moonshiner since that I was born Drunk upon my money, still love all my corn Got bless all you pretty women, I wish that you were mine Y'all seem so much sweeter drunk on moonshine Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
