Here's a compilation of what I believe are the top five most famous banjo songs, most people know at least one of these even if they don't listen to bluegrass music! Cripple Creek, Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Rocky Top, Dueling Banjos, and The Ballad of Jed Clampett aka The Beverly Hillbillies. Thanks for watching!
I'm playing the Gold Tone OB 2 Bowtie banjo

Wow. There's not very much you can do with a banjo. It's all pretty much the same tune. Dissapointing

@MasonCroneMusic 8 месяцев назад

Judging an entire genre (actually multiple genres) of music by only 5 examples... They're different, you just can't hear it apparently 😂

I'm quite certain that theres multiple ways of tuning a banjo and with each unique tuning, comes with it's own style. Like Iridh, Celtic, bluegrass. Ect.

The banjo sounds really GREAT when accompanied with other instruments. (The Kingston Trio for example).

@elisabethemory Год назад

You're so right. While I was watching, I kept thinking what's more famous than this one? And I was like, ohhhh yeah, forgot about those! Lol kept getting "famouser" 😂

Was never much of a bluegrass fan…that is, until I retired and started teaching myself to play the banjo a little over 1 year ago. It’s been simultaneously the most exhilarating and humbling experience of my life - listening to your mesmerizing renditions of the stuff I’m still trying to master is like a shot of adrenaline! Gotta go and practice more now!

Definitely. Beverly hillbillies was everyone’s intro to bluegrass! Mine especially

@caloykoy1 6 месяцев назад

Are there certain keys (ex. key of G, etc.) that a banjo will sound its best in, maybe because of its strings, register, tuning, etc.? Kindly bear the basic curiosity. 😊

@MasonCroneMusic 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the donation! Bluegrass banjo certainly is easiest in G. But pro players sound great in any key.

@@MasonCroneMusic thanks ! Are spikes better ? don't they modify the way you have to place your fingers ?

@MasonCroneMusic 4 месяца назад

@@johnnybigoude5120 I like them better. They don't affect where you put your fingers, they're just little pieces of metal that you install into the fingerboard right under the 5th string and then you put the string under them when capoed.
