I am a traditional potter in Bantam Connecticut . I make a lot of flowerpots for historical gardens . My apprenticeships were at older shops in North Carolina , Wales and Northern England . In those communities I started playing " Home made music" . on : Banjo first then Anglo concertina then open tuning guitar .I am so busy as a potter that I am using youtube as the place to meet other musicians who like playing the same kind of music I enjoy .. All the best to all here .
Zither banjo was made for playing classic fingerstyle, no clawhammer stuff, the clarity, the sweetest sound is produced with barefingers played with finger flesh, never use of the nails.
Nice to hear you on dulcimer, Guy, and a nice tranquil tune at that. Nothing wrong with the clacking. I like it. I tend to be a clacker myself when I play (I like thin picks for dulcimer).
Thanks Noah ... This one is for use in a motorcyclist's video clip of the castles used after the battle of Flodden in Northumbria .. Yep for the purcusive thing I was after the thin pick that came with the McSpadden Dulcimer seemed just right ... I bought this dulcimer for my daughter ..SHe never really got into it but I am very happy to have it in the music room .. I do wish we lived closer :) Not many people I would rather play with !
The mikeing is a little choppy but it is what I could get with the percusive performance .If it would be more usfull I can try again .I liked it over all for story telling .It wont hurt my feelsings if it is not useful though. :) Just let me know and I will give it another go ... Lots of fun to do ..
@@guywolff Hey Guy, well, it sounds spot on to me 😀 The perfect accompaniment to a few shots of castles in the sunshine…Oh, and the odd steam engine 😀 First cut coming soon / thanks again Guy, cheers, Phil.
Well played, Guy! I enjoy seeing the admiration that you have for your AC-12a; it's what encouraged me to pick one up a couple months back. I absolutely love it, too! Thanks for doing what you do! 😁
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D8Q0QhAIEOM.htmlsi=ajdw5AtiDAVyE32P And now we can jump 15 years in the future and see Ben Wolff making a Full Pot. Has is changed? Is there a personal style?
Amazing Guy! Just love both versions (of flowers) and I think, for the video, there is a place for both…The final segment is so joyful though. Cheers, Phil.
Yes it is called "Sadie at the back door ",It is about a cat always going out the front door but always coiming in the back door :) Writen by Jerry Canote out in Washington State ..
Been following your channel for a hell of a long time. Maybe all the way back to Old Plank Road?! Always great stuff. One of the earliest tunes I learned was Sadie. Love the syncopation/blue notes and even a harmonic. .
Fabulous Guy! Which reminds me - I've finally got my ride over to Flodden video completed and just wanted to check you're OK if I use your rendition of "Flowers in the Field" and name-check you in the video? It really adds to the visuals! All the best, Phil.
I am just about to use "Flowers of the Forest " for our local banjo contest on Saturday . My pottery teacher who left us in late winter at 100 years old was of Scotish heritage so I am doing it for her ,,, I will add an instrumental version here in the next day if it can be of any help . I made the other clip for you in the first place and would be chuffed to have you use either or both in any way useful ...I think Mel Gibson is free for any action shots needed ... PS I just added Flowers of the Forest as an instrumental :)
Thanks so much Guy…looking forward to the instrumental version very much! And it’s so lovely to hear how it came about. I think your vocals work perfectly with the visuals and they really echo the madness of war..I’ll send you a link shortly. Cheers, Phil.
I got the AC-12 standard, not A scale and it should be here today. Got it as my first banjo so we'll see. I'm such agreenie but it sounds so pretty. This is one of the few videos that sold me on it over the AC-1 as my starter especially as I want to learn clawhammer. Hoping the action isn't too high out of the box for me. Couldn't get mine from GT directly as they are out of stock, likely super popular right now, so had to order third party from Guitar Center. Here's wishing me luck! Totally blind over here too, so that adds a new layer of challenge and so far no local teachers, but I've got some decent resources to start out hopefully strong! Thanks for this.
I love this! Would you know of a resource that teaches this type of pottery decoration, or even something that has recipes for making the slips as well as the pouring cups? Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
I just save my stoneware slip from the wheel and add copper to it for the green and iron to the red clay slip .White stoneware slip for white .All this happens on wet clay after drying the pots are glazed and fired at cone 02 .All the best , Guy
