Robert Fong Demonstrates “Cumberland Gap” on 1928 Gibson Mastertone Archtop RB-6 

With the gold plating and checkerboard binding, it looks as if it may have been a custom job. Beautiful looking and sounding.

Banjo sounds awesome. Never sacrifice timing for speed, just saying 😀

Great playing!

J'adore écouter la country musique 🎶

Nice playing! Beautiful Mastertone.

Great sounding banjo!

beautiful, well picked!

I'm pretty sure Ralph Stanley played a similarly styled Gibson Model 6 archtop earlier in his career and established the hard, driving "Stanley sound", the only difference being the wreath inlays on his banjo.

I recognize this little interior space from a video with guitarist & hardshoe dancer Cil Pierce. Where is this little wood music yurt, it's certainly the site of a lot of good music happening!

slower down a bit, speed will come, but keep on picking !

Cool bro

Why start off slow then speed up? Keep the tempo at same pace

Just wish he had played that without a capo to get the "real tone" from that archtop.

You have speed, now work on your musicality. Your rhythm is all over the place. Slow it down and lock in your rhythm. Then slowly speed it up with the rhythm locked in.

Slow down son, you're rushing it and missing notes, faster isn't always better and timing is suffering

Sounds great! (Work on your timing)

timing timing timing

👍

Faster.

Can you sing it that fast?

Not bad but the timing is way off you are trying to rush it slow down a little clean it up

that foot tapping did no help as far as the rythm went.

What a mess.
