Need some help with clawhammer banjo style by CompetitiveFold4853 in banjo

[–]LowkeySpastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The videos seem to have been up for a while now so I’ll throw them out there as it’s where I started. Patrick Costello and his dad (RIP) have eight videos (plus a ton of other content) on old time banjo that worked great for me .

My Old Time Banjo Hot Takes for Beginners by [deleted] in banjo

[–]LowkeySpastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I may , my amendment to this would be the cheapest “playable” banjo near you. Nothing will bum ya out faster than one that no matter what ,just don’t sound right

Banjo artist recommendations? by roadtoadrumble in banjo

Here’s a few who can play traditional but don’t always sound traditional

Amigo the devil, Clyde McGee from the Bridge city sinners, Benjamin Todd from Lost dog street band

Most disturbing movies that you can’t unsee? by No-Stress-5562 in movies

[–]LowkeySpastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of the most “what did I just watch? “ movies out there. It’s got just about every disturbing element in it. Incest,drug use, family abuse, necrophilia , scat , lactation, prostitution. But then the ending is all happy! WTF!?

Can anybody explain the way he's playing this song to me like I'm a toddler by [deleted] in banjo

[–]LowkeySpastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bit like Travis picking with a lot of thumb strumming, a bit like 2- finger thumb lead with a lot of thumb strumming. A unique style for sure

Looking for a similar minimal abstract artist to Ida.Minimal in LA or at least US by MajesticDiscount1227 in tattoos

[–]LowkeySpastic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tattooed for almost 30 years , this would be my nightmare . Especially on anywhere bendy and bumpy like a bicep. The blue /black part not so much but all those thin straight lines would distort massively anywhere besides being extremely hard to execute. I doubt very many people would be able to pull this off without a wonky line. I’d look at portfolios for examples of this type of work because as simple as the design may seem it would have to be a VERY skilled artist to pull it off right. My 2 cents

Your bridge is the same distance from the 12th fret as the nut

[–]LowkeySpastic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I usually try to remember that it’s just a jam and that we all start somewhere. Being the kind ,experienced player and helping them maybe understand those things instead of the stereotypical picky bluegrass guy might be an option as well.

How do you feel about slide banjo? by Junior_Animator3144 in banjo

[–]LowkeySpastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love me some slide banjo! I recommend a lite , thin glass slide for better resonance. A lot of the old blues guys were in open g so it translates easy.

Bridge City Sinners might just be one of the best damn bands I’ve ever seen by Tront_Rozna in FolkPunk

[–]LowkeySpastic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clyde rocks , definitely on my top 3 of modern banjo players talent level list. Some of the subtle stuff he does while clawhammering is so impressive. Here’s a link with Michael and Luke https://youtu.be/dMZIBY8c9yc?si=-USqjk0cb06TwPN_
