“Circus Jig” and “Briggs Breakdown” performed by Rhiannon Giddens, Banjo l Met Music 

i cannot stop listening to this!!

Lovely performance on a beautiful instrument. Such a contrast to the sound of a modern banjo. This sounds so much more acoustic and not at all tinny. 🤗

Fretless clawhammer is so awesome and love seeing young artists at it.

Thank you Rhiannon Giddens for some solo banjo done very well.

Beautifully done!

wow! Please make more

Wow. Lovely sound. If I had a nylon string banjo, I might not hate practising the banjo so much.

Wow- what an amazing experience! Such a pleasant thing to find in my recommended videos! The musicianship Rhiannon displays is so sublime!

Jigs on clawhammer banjo are so interesting because the stroke feels like it's in 4 or 2, so you have to alternate emphasis on the claw and the thumb in order to achieve a 6/8 feel. Maybe more relevant to the Hard Times video. I love this series with Rhiannon Giddens!!!

That's just how I would play it; if I could play that thang.

What a lousy version. Mark Weems version is far superior. This lady is highly overrated.
