This is awesome! I've been wanting to learn little sadie for a long while now but most tutorials are for clawhammer style. I'd love if you made a tutorial one day for the cuckoo. Thanks for everything you do Jim!
Awesome, thank you. I have picked the banjo back up after probably 12 years, and I love your videos. I'm 38 and started playing at 15 . You are a very good teacher !!
Thanks for this one Jim! I know what I'm going to be working on today! I love this tune. And I love that in bluegrass you bend a string and it's called a "choke". Especially when you're playing a classic murder ballad.
Love this song, one of my faves since I heard Doc and Merle play it at the Winfield festival. I’ve played guitar for about sixty years and decided to learn (clawhammer) banjo. So I bought me a long neck Vega. I get a lot of inspiration from your videos, even the three-finger ones. So thanks for posting!
I’ve played this on guitar for years and have been trying to decide what to learn next on banjo, sure enough you drop this video! Decision made easy! Favorite versions are ol Doc of course and the rare Grateful Dead version 💀
Hey Jim. I would appreciate an opinion. I am going to buy a Recording King banjo and not sure if I should get an RKR35 or RKR36, is it worth the few extra bucks for a 36? I have their open back and love it. Thanks for teaching me how to play!!
Either is a great choice. Both are the same quality. The 36 has a glossy finish and is mahogany, where the 35 is satin and maple. So, essentially, get the 36 if you want a shiny finish. Both sound great.
