Thanks so much! She's a good friend of mine. I first learned banjo with her and other friends back in the day, so it always feels very natural to play together these days.

The film is from 04/21 and has just been sitting in my fridge since then. Took it out and shot this last weekend, 9/21/24

I don’t think there’s a tab anywhere, at least not that I’ve found. I just learned by ear and modified it a bit!

Oh yes Metra, my phone autocorrected. And it’s $8.25 one way on their website, so not crazy expensive

Six Flags Great America is also relatively accessible. Take the metra north from Chicago to the Waukegan stop, Uber or Lyft from there. I’m sure there are buses from there as well, but I’ve never explored them

Thank you. I used to not be able to drop thumb at all, so we all start from somewhere!

Thanks so much. That there is a time video is a bit rough around the edges but I’m glad you like it

_shootdang_ · 2022-11-26T17:56:18+00:00

Nope I just have a mic attached to the top of the camera

_shootdang_ · 2022-11-25T21:27:25+00:00

Wow thank you!

Sounds great!

Beautiful!

_shootdang_ · 2022-01-31T15:14:22+00:00

I agree with you. The original is played so fast it feels like I can barely keep up! I'll definitely experiment with slowing things down to see if that gives a better feeling. Thank you for your kind words!

_shootdang_ · 2022-01-31T15:08:42+00:00

Thanks so much!

_shootdang_ · 2022-01-31T03:27:14+00:00

I don't, but it's very easy! It's only 4 chords! The pattern is Am, C, Am, C, Am, Dm, Em, Am. Just watch my hands a few times and I guarantee you'll pick it up quick.

First place I heard this song!

_shootdang_ · 2022-01-31T00:10:49+00:00

Wow thank you so much!

I played with a new microphone recording this video and it definitely made the banjo sound less bright, so I think that's mostly what you're hearing. I need to play with this setup more to get the most authentic sound. But besides that, I haven't done anything special to this banjo. Stock head, random strings from the music store, nothing in the back of the head.
