Redwing on Bluegrass Banjo 

@BanjoBen1 my dad used to play this tune on his accordian. This really brings back memories.

Sounds wonderful

Kerry mills would be proud! Great picking!!!

Check out earlier comments and replies further down the page. Thanks for watching!!

the 5th string runs underneath the fingerboard starting at the 5th fret and comes out at the peghead, so that all 5 tuners are on the peghead...it has it's pluses and minuses...thanks for watching!

I've been playing banjo for about 8 years! Good luck and happy picking!

Thats awesome. I just learned this song last night and I see all the posibillities and your version here gives allot of insight. Your banjo sounds good too :)

Thanks! One of my Mom's favorites.

Wonderful playing, very inspiring. Thanks for posting!

A minute and a half of pure joy. Could you extend it to 4 minutes with the last half of your own stuff tied to the melody? I'd love to hear it! Thanks again.

@TGODKID Hey bud! Thanks for watching!

Great work! I am learning this version out of Alans Banjo Solos book right now. Sounds fantastic. I have met Alan a few times at the IBMA;s and take lessons from Tony Trischka. Alan is definately one of my favorites...you pick it great

It's actually a homemade job made from Gibson parts I ordered from the factory and First Quality Music. The fingerboard is actually cut from a Fender Telecaster blank, meaning that the scale-length and radius is the same. As far as the sound, it actually has a t-shirt stuffed inside so that it won't feed back on me on stage. It's normally twice as loud!...Thanks for listening and the compliment!

That is a great song to play on the banjo. I learned to play that 2 years ago. Myra

Very nice !

I agree with that for sure....Alan is one of my favorites though.

Well done, Mr. Clark. Just awesome.
