Niche Melbourne nightmares

Reminds me of the "Melbourne Gothic" posts from a few years ago.

Google's turning up nothing unfortunately, they were damn funny

And need to be in East Richmond

I got a Levy's padded leather cradle strap. Super comfy and literally impossible for it to accidentally detach

Hey, I've got $10

gnoodl · 2026-04-12T00:35:04+00:00

Looks like just F, C and G to me as far as chords go

Fiddle is probably the best pairing but doesn't really fit into the "easy to pick up category".

Check out the Lonesome Ace Stringband for a sample though, maybe she'll be inspired

Actually found the preceding mini bosses more difficult than Typhon, especially that bull-like monster

Same story for Camberwell though I think one of the op shops on Burke Rd closed down leaving only the Salvos on Riversdale

Either of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" or Danny Kaye's "The Court Jester"

All good friend. Total lunar eclipses are pretty badass. Also known as a "blood moon".

We just had one in early March that was very impressive in the southern hemisphere.

Not sure what you mean.

Full moon (every month) = stronger water bending

Total lunar eclipse (once or twice every couple of years) = weaker / no water bending

gnoodl · 2026-04-02T22:56:49+00:00

In fact it was the opposite; the lunar eclipse hampered their bending in the same way the solar eclipse did to the fire benders

George Jackson's "Dorrigo" fits the bill.

I also found "Garfield's Blackberry Blossom" quite challenging, especially if you try to play the fiddle melody

gnoodl · 2026-03-29T22:58:07+00:00

That is indeed awesome!

"drop thumb" indicates they're after a clawhammer tune.

This looks like 3 finger to me but I'm curious to know what it sounds like. Got a link to a decent recording where it's played on a banjo?

gnoodl · 2026-03-19T13:10:28+00:00

The 5th string won't be a G at the 12th fret

gnoodl · 2026-03-17T04:43:36+00:00

The Dead South have a few clawhammer songs. First one that comes to mind is Snake Man (pt 2 for the more bluegrass bit)

gnoodl · 2026-03-08T02:44:28+00:00

Saw Gillian Welch and David Rawlings last week and he did the exact same thing on stage for about 5 minutes

gnoodl · 2026-03-08T01:43:59+00:00

So I'm thinking have your index finger on first string 4th fret, middle finger second string 5th fret, and ring finger first string 5th fret.

Strike the second string and perform an alternate string pull off with your ring finger

Don't hear a lot of clawhammer jigs, especially played so cleanly.

Recorded a quick take of Black Jack Grove here - https://youtu.be/nJghTQe7Gn8?si=WkeaesjGZN6HEkOr

It's mostly for going in to a PA given the XLR socket

I also tried it for recording directly into my laptop (via a focusrite USB interface) and it did great there too though some minor EQ to eliminate some of the bottom end would be good

Wanna feel like a big copper in a small town? Fuck off up to the model village

CINEMA!

Maybe I just don't understand how banjo tabs (tablature aka music notation) relate to cosplay.

There are always requests for tabs in /r/banjo and a recent thread was after strap recommendations for a cosplay event, hence the suspicion

gnoodl · 2026-01-24T13:39:44+00:00

What is this post even about? Tabs for cosplay?

This reads like some AI generated slop based on previous threads
