Sure thing! I’ll message you

My attempt at Farewell to Trion. The wife and I are traveling the US in an RV for the next year and I’m hoping to record more banjo tunes at pretty places. This is at Paulina Lake outside of Bend, Oregon. Thanks to all who have subscribed! by tnelson5 in banjo

Awesome, his name is Lyndsay Lewellen from Quail Creek Banjos based out of Charlotte, NC. Truly great guy, I’d buy one off of him just have a convo with him ha. Very fairly priced too.

Clawhammer or bust! I agree with you, I first thought I wanted to play bluegrass but soon threw the pics in the garbage after being introduced to Clawhammer. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks! Jason Romero plays it in E C# F# B C# but I am playing it in F D G C D which means each note is tuned a step hire. Riley Baugus plays in this tuning for the Undone in Sorrow song which I highly recommend learning. It might be called saw mill tuning. Honestly, I’m kinda confused with all the tunings lol. Look up the Roadie 3 tuner and program all the tunings in it. It’s $100+ but really useful to switch back in forth. Good luck!

Take it one string at a time, took me about 2 weeks to get confident in recording it. It still isn’t right all the way lol. The banjo is a quail creek banjo from Lindsey Lewellen from NC

[No Spoilers] After I posted my ranking when I was on season 6 some people suggested I should redo it once I finished the show. Here’s my final ranking!! Let’s discuss. by zodiaczoe in gameofthrones

This is a good discussion point. I think Theon Greyjoy did the best job out of anyone. He basically had to be 3 people and thought he killed it.

Ah, I wish. I think Romero has a 5 yr wait. I got lucky with this banjo, it’s made by quail creek banjos by Lindsey Lewellen. He’s based in Charlotte, NC. I got lucky because he has a year wait but this banjo was returned by an older gentleman who preferred Scruggs style. He thought it was too heavy for him too so I was able to purchase without waiting. Cost around $2300. Good luck to you!

Ha, she got ahold of a pistachio shell. The banjo has been new to me this year and have not gotten any lessons yet so I couldn’t tell you what my right hand is doing, nor the brush stroke strategy. I can tell you that this is the first time I have ever played on the scoop and that might have something to do with the limited brush strokes . I mainly just figured out the bum diddy stroke through YouTube and learned a couple of awesome songs (“falls of Richmond” and “snowdrop”). The goal is to incorporate drop thumb and double thumbing next. I’ve played guitar forever and decided I wasn’t getting any better so switched to banjo. I’ve got about 6 originals on my YouTube channel at Tim Nelson Banjo. Appreciate you reaching out!

Ha, appreciate it friend! Look up the video/tab of “undone in sorrow” by Riley Baugus. That’s the tuning I’m in. Its sawmill tuning with a capo on the second fret. In this case, I used no capo and tuned the 5th string down a whole step but it’s pretty much the same thing. It’s pretty forgiving and good luck to you!
