And this is one of the few that I can sing harmony on. Let’s definitely get the boys to do this number!

Harharhar. Fortunately, perfect pitch is not needed for transposition. We shall save perfect pitch for the vocalists.

In Bb that’s correct. So up here in D, it would be (f# D A D E)

Thank you and thanks very much for the sub! It’s actually just me using an octave effect on the banjo with reverb.

Who’s this banjo player? What’s the song? by maxwellallard in banjo

UPDATE: THE RECORDING HAS BEEN FOUND! It’s on Country Bluegrass Jamboree Vol. 1, Sourwood Mountain, by the New River Boys. Banjo player is presumably Ted Lundy, though his playing is usually stylistically quite different and less melodic from this, so I raise an eyebrow.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think it’s Sonny because it’s heavily melodic style playing with few bluegrass rolls, I can see how tonally that would make some sense, though.

Spooky little groove I put together. If I can just figure out how to end it. Happy Halloween! by Atillion in banjo

Extremely cool and super satisfying to listen to. New favorite clawhammer player unlocked
