  • wow thats got great bangee tone .

     

  • thanks John, I do find the banjo tricky but love the sound of them

  • Jim. Really nice playing, as always. The banjo sounds great too and looks very smart.

  • Thanks guys. Hi Andy, yes its clawhammer or frailing is the other name for this style. Its a bit tricky but I'm  sort of getting the hang of it.....a few more youtube lessons needed I think. I really couldn't get the hang of banjo picking style so decided to try this one. I actualy like the sound better than the nomal picking, its got a bit more traditional old style sound to it I think.Cheers for the comment Andy, appreciate it.

  • yyyyeeeeeeppp !!!!!! very very nice...°<[:-) [---]==={...

  • Thanks John, I could never get on with banjo picking, so thought I'd try clawhammer instead. It's a bit tricky but sort of getting there. I couldn't decide if I should turn my garage into a workshop or Bar, so I turned it into both! 

    Guitar building on one side and playing and drinking on the other....the Mrs don't get to see me to much now!!

     

  • Oh, I love that frailing style.   Sounds great.  Like your bar area too.

  • Thanks Wes, most kind

  • Thanks Clock, we made the tone ring by stretching the drum over a section of a gas boiler flue that we hacksawed off, sounds odd but it did give it a nice tone, and made it the right size to fit in box!

  • That's some mighty fine playin, sir! Authentic banjo sound...
