How to play Benjamin Tod’s “ The Mountain “ originally by Steve Earle , clawhammer banjo tutorial 

Dude! Thank you so much. I love his version of this song. Just started trying to learn old time banjo. You rule man. Seriously

amazing! im just getting to grips with the banjo and i am determined to nail this song - this is by far the best how to video i have found. thanks dude!

I’ve wanted to learn this song for a couple years now and haven’t been able to wrap my head around the intro until you explained it. Thank you!

I always come back to watch this. Thank you very much for this. Keep on keepin bud!

Yo I just got a free banjo from my local bar, this was the first song i knew i wanted to learn on it!! thanks for doing a lil lesson on it, this forced me to memorize some chords too. now i can play something other than just practicing on rolls! thank you

Thank you! I’ve been looking for anything to help me learn this song and this did it. Definitely earned a subscriber.

Just got a banjo and looking forward to this! Thanks man keep posting!😅

Just came across this tutorial. Thank you for posting. I've been trying to figure out this lovely song! I think this song is in 3/4 time which really helps make more sense of his strumming pattern.

This was awesome. Thank you so much friend :)

very grateful for this!

Well done! Great song

Sing it for us brother!

Cheers mate, I did plan on learning this one as I really liked the song when I first heard you do it, but never got around to it. Ill have a play with it this week, see how I get on. Nice one.

Thanks so much man! I picked up playing banjo last summer in Southern Oregon during the fires, and this is one of the first songs I wanted to learn. Revisiting your video now just for some of the finer points. I spend a decent amount of time in Eugene, perhaps we'll cross paths and can jam sometime!

Awesome playing Dude! Subsribed :)

Thank you !

Thanks brother

Thank you very much for real brother 🤙🤙 I’ve always played guitar on and off over the years, but have really gotten into bluegrass over the past three years. My wife got me a banjo for Christmas, and I’m still stuck between 3 finger Scruggs style and clawhammer but I’ve always loved clawhammer melodies. 3 finger feels more natural to me and I can’t seem to get the muscle rhythm down for clawhammer, but this definitely started to point me in the right direction - do you have any other beginner songs you’d recommend?

Cool as always brother🙂 Would love to see ya do soldiers eyes, by jack savoretti or even copperhead road too. Soldiers eyes would be super cool because it already has a clawhammer rhythm but all the videos are only showing how to do it on guitar😟

Could you please play this Benjamin Todd version so we can have a karaoke version? That would be amazing.

Anyone have the tab

Sweet another Oregonian! What part of Oregon you from man?

Where in Oregon are you?

Where is the upstroke tutorial?
