I'm learning baritone ukulele fingerstyle and it's a relief to hear that nails aren't required. I've been growing mine out, but I really don't like the way it looks. Listening to some of your other videos, the sound is very pleasing to my ears.
This music (played like this) is so strong, you can almost taste it. It is like a strong broth that revives you after a long journey or illness. Thank you!
I am a classical guitar player (no nails)…..just an advanced beginner all my life and study the Fred Noad books and Pujol……anyhow I have deering banjo for the fun of it……I am having trouble learning claw hammer and always seem to gravitate to just my fingers……is there any basic music you might recommend? For a classical guitarist learning open back banjo? Thank you for all you do….
Hi Maestro ! It seems that this tab is no longer avalaible on the link below the vidéo. IS there another way to download it? Thanks for all these advices, best regards, jdl
Id love to hear you play this piece again 10 years later. As far as im aware you’re only one on youtube performing this one. I can play it as well. I would post it but I dont have a good camera.
Rob, could you recommend a rqnge of entry level tenor banjos suited to that Bach repertoire? Im a cellist, recently picked up 5 string banjo very interested in adding tenor to play these suites!
I'm playing through the songs in the book, playing the melodies and also elaborating them in places with chords and ornamentations. It's fun! I have a question though. Is there a more complete name for that first song "Aria" by Mozart? I don't recognize it and I have a hard time finding other recordings of it etc.
Just catching up on your channel again Rob. What a fantastic recital. Nice to hear phrasing so much more evocative than many of the recordings out there 🙏
What an interesting sound you've produced, Rob! I don't know whether the major factor here is your playing without fingernails and your unique right hand technique or the Aquila strings. Anyway, the sound is incredibly soft and round and is a wonderful complement to this piece about blossoming youth.
