When I feel discouraged about my playing or feel uninspired to practice, I watch your videos

Thank you so much, that is so kind of you to say!

A great old song and every song is better with a banjo.

Looks like a Deering Goodtime Banjo....my first banjo. I highly recommend it to any beginners. Just a beautiful instrument with great sound for the price. I still play it after many years when I just want to do some simple picking. This song was beautifully done!

It is indeed a Deering Goodtime! I haven't played many other banjos, but I've loved playing this one. Thanks for listening!

"varit mig kär". Jag menar förstås mina föräldrar . Båda två saknade lika mycket. Inom mig starka minnen av allt annat än bara solsken oss emellan men på upploppet var det klart och inga molntussar i vägen mellan oss. Och som i alla relationer behöver vi lägga tid på att sköta om dom för som någon sa "vi är våra relationer"

En underbart lyrisk tolkning av Mary av en av mina absoluta favoritfolklåtar. Jag försöker minnas om det var i Skottland eller på Irland jag hörde den först och den gick rätt in i mitt hjärta och sitter kvar där än som ett folkmusikminne som är mig mycket kärt och väcktes till liv när jag av en slump hittade Marys version. TACK!!!

Nice tune, beautiful voice

An angels voice ... beautiful ...

Lovely version of this beautyful song.

Thanks, Noah!

Beautiful voice, you remind me a bit of the great Irish singer Annmarie O'Riordan.

Yes Ma'am

Min favorit är Johnny Mc Evoys version som gör mig rörd varenda gång jag lyssnar på den. För mig handlar det att förlora någon som varit mig kär

Efter en ytterligare genomlyssning blir jag mer och mer övertygad om att visan är skotsk. Lassie är ju kvinna dialektalt. Mary,du skall få ett tips av mig som du kan hitta på youtube och som jag är ganska övertygad om skulle passa dig att göra en cover av. Irländsk naturligtvis ,klassiker och heter Long Before your Time. Finns inspelad av flera olika musiker. ja, jag älskar BÅDE skottland och irlands kultur

Awesome stuff, as always! Every now and then, there's something about the way you sing that sounds familiar to me, and I finally pinned it down. Have you seen the old Rankin-Bass film, "The Hobbit"? Sometimes your performances remind me of their "The Road Goes Ever On and On".

Hahaha, I grew up watching that movie, so that musical style must have sunk in early on! Thanks for listening!

Hi! I've been absolutely loving your covers, and I was hoping you might have a few tips for learning banjo songs by ear - I keep seeing covers/songs that I'm eager to play but can't find instructions. Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks for listening! To be honest, when I saw your comment about tips for playing by ear, I genuinely didn't know what my answer would be. Because sometimes, it seems like I just sort of...do it. Or I just pluck away, note by note, until I find a finger pattern that works. And, in part, that's true. But I thought about it some more, and actually, I've found that playing by ear is very much built on songs I've already learned. When I first started playing banjo, I was using tabs and watching tutorials all the time. This helped me build up a repertoire of musical phrases, tips/techniques, and fragments of scales (which helped because I've never formally learned them). Since a lot of melodies in folk music are similar, it can be relatively easy to "plug and play" a musical phrase you already know. Occasionally, as I'm figuring something out it, I'll get it on the first try and I'll wonder, "how did I know that would sound right?" And I'll realize that it's because that tune is mimicking another tune I play with an identical or similar phrase. The muscle memory has given me a bit of a "map" of note locations and note patterns in my head. Tabs and tutorials also helped me learn less intuitive ways of hitting notes. I can't tell you how off pull-off notes and drop thumbing have come in handy. But I've rarely "practiced" these techniques in the sense of doing them, just on their own, for hours. It was always within the context of a tune, which I think also helped me make better and more frequent use of them. So I would say, especially if you're just learning, don't shy away from tabs and tutorials of other songs, even if they aren't the songs you really want to figure out. Let them be your building blocks, and when you've compiled them, it will be easier to figure things out by ear. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, and I hope this helps! Good luck!

jag kan inte se vilken stil du har när du spelar. Vad tycker du om Earl Scruggs som ju förnyade tekniken vid banjospelande??
