This song shows how masterful your 2 finger picking is.

Banjo and Anthropology. You never let me down Clif!

man that switch from frailing to the 2-finger style is so fantastic, wish I could bottle that or better do it myself! thank you Cliff, its always a treasure!

Hi Clifton! I like your version and realy liked the video of George Gibson playing the same song.😊👍👍

Awesome! Because I just learn songs as I feel i want to Learn them and have time, the biggest reason I love these is for the history of these songs that you know. On top of just hearing you play and sing

I love the colorful descriptions about where/how to put your thumb! Thanks, these lessons are great! Far and away some of the best spent 2 bucks per month!

i know its not related to this video but i just listened to the podcast you were on, Coffee with Comrades, and wow man i love your point of view on all of it 🏴👍 you have a great balance of traditional and political songs on your channel so far too, i especially love those existential mourning songs like o death and cold blows the wind

That was really beautiful picking. Great history lesson too

I'm learning all kinds of stuff from you, Clifton. Like "goosewanged."

Goosewanged 😁 love this channel thanks man

Awesome song and love how the dog peeing didn't make you miss a beat lmao

YES!!!!! THK SO MUCH MR.HICKS FOR THIS LESSON

Thanks Clif! Outstanding as always!

I was just wanting a tutorial for this song! Thanks Clifton!

Thank you for the historical discussion and lesson. 💈

Awesome ! Thanks !

another great video! i love this tuning. plz teach more songs in this so i can stay there longer and justify switching into it. lol

Really digging this. It shares a lot of lyrics with Charlie Poole's "Milwaukee Blues". Thanks again for a great one, Clifton. I'll be adding this to me playlist for banjo lessons.

Great tune! Also, the skeleton is a nice touch.

Tuesday morning rain never let up, wash the bridge out down in the cut, engineer said what do I care, I could fly this rig right through the air!

Nice

Great one Clifton! The song is full of notes I've rarely heard on the banjo. The story is a great exercise in historical reality. Reminds me of this really great old movie from 1973, called Emperor of the North Pole. Had Lee Marvin and Earnest Borgnine in it. Set in the 1930's. Hobos riding the rails, hobo camps, and ruthless train conductors. Really good film!

Favorite lesson from you so far hands down... they are all my favorite though lol

DAMNNNNN

Don't see why not. I tune 4-string gourd banjos to things like gGCE, or gGCD, gGBD...

Hey Clifton, I've just bought my first banjo. I like how you play without finger picks and I don't like using them myself. Are they something I can do without or do certain songs need them?

@CliftonHicksbanjo

People had been playing the banjo for 200 years before those metal fingerpicks were even thought of. I haven't used them myself in over two decades.

@@CliftonHicksbanjo Thanks for the reply. I just saw your two finger technique videos, so I'll see how I go there 😄

It's a lovely sounding song, it's interesting to see the rather nasty and mean origins of the song, making fun of someone's dead daughter, still a great song!

Thank you so much for great music and for great lessons! I wanted to ask probably stupid question, but I like how fretless banjo sounds. Is it possible to play Irish traditional music on it?

@JohnyG29
