  • I love Cold Mountain.   I have seen Oh Brother about 12 times (at least) and Cold Mountain about half that.   Read the book Cold Mountain too.  The first half was s l o w going,

  • Yes a good film Uncle John with a real 1930s music theme. Have you seen Cold Mountain ? That has a great soundtrack with Jack White, Riley Bagus and Tim Eriksen . Its also a very good story.

  • Thanks Jim .

  • Thanks Marcus, no doubt I've caught the bug now.

  • And I hope it won't be your last. Very nice and clean dude.
  • Malcolm, if you like old timey music, somehow watch the movie 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou.'   Great movie and music.  

  • Lookin' good!

  • If you want to see some nice home made banjos, check out photos or videos from Flatfoot Johnny and Jim Morris.   Jim has a vid on how to use plastic from soda bottles to make banjo heads.

  • Yes, clawhammer is fun and to me old time is as much a sound of America as are the Blues. I certainly would like to have a crack at a home built banjo. I do have a fretless Proffitt style 1930s poor mans banjo but a true CBB would need to be built of bits and bobs to be authentic.for now though all my spare time will be focused on learning the CB Guitar .

    Best wishes from UK.

  • I love claw hammer.  Not that I can play it.   So many options for you.  Make a 5 string and play it banjo style - I bet that you will do that at some point.   Tune this one DGB and use it like a banjo with just 3 strings - I play that tuning a lot.   Or kind of learn a new thing, GDg like in in knotlenny's lesson.  You likely will get the most instant gratification with DGB.
