The Road To Mexico

The legendary Ken Perlman is probably more renowned for his genius at arranging tunes rather than writing them but when he does write them he writes some corkers! Here's his classic Road To Mexico which I've really enjoyed teaching to a couple of students this last week.

Did you hear the notes and record or tabs?
Awesome cover!
Thank you! Yeah just heard the song a lot and gradually figured it out :)
Amazing my british friend. Thanks for your teaching. Take care and hod bless.
Nice job.
IDK if this is technically claw hammer style but seeing as how you're using the technique from that but playing over the parchment I'm impressed with the skill, keep on keeping it and I'll be pickin right along with you on the west coast. 👍🏻✌🏻
Great playing! As usual! The only improvement would be if you showed off your t-shirt.
Damn Dan, what a handsome tune! Thank you
Are you playing large parts of the bass line with your left hand??
No they're nearly all with the right hand on beat 1. Left hand is doing more of the off beat melody notes :)
@@DanWalshBanjo Ohh, thanks! Amazing.
Dan Walsh! Taking clawhammer banjo to places it's never been before! I love it!
❤
Great rendition, amazing that you recreate the band single handed
@@tommyleahy6574 thanks so much, love that band so much :)

Excellent! I’d never heard this tune before. It’s a good one 🪕🎶
Superb. Thank you.
Sounds amazing!
Can you hook a guy up with the tabs on that little solo on the second break?
@@schiels truthfully I totally made it up but I could probably figure it out 😂
Yeah well, I’m working on soloing. Kinda don’t really know how to. You do like virtual lessons or anything?
@@schiels yeah I sure do! Maybe head over to www.danwalshbanjo.co.uk and have a look - I do virtual lessons but I also have a patreon page chock full of lessons and tabs which may be a good option too :)
Your awesome
Brilliant pure brilliant lovely 👍
👍👍
Good to see you again, Dan! I haven’t kept up with you and yours. CL❤️
Nice one man!
That settles it then, I am going gung-ho on clawhammer
dang i thought this would be easy to play but your left hand is doing an insane dance along that fretboard my man, awesome to watch
Hooooo yeah! That's good stuff. This should have way more views🔥🔥
Thank you for your clear explanation- I’ve only just started playing clawhammer so way above me but good to know for the future! 😊
I had a feeling banjo can play really diverse styles of music, including indian… that’s an amazing actual performance of it!!!
You have a momentum to your playing that reminds me of John Hartford only with a touch more caffeine. High praise indeed.
amazing bro
You can do fiverr banjo to acoustic rock song?
Hi Dan, I know you play a Deering Sierra, I'm learning clawhammer and want to learn from your new book. In my town I can get a deering calico for a good price. Is this pretty similar to the Sierra? Would you recommend or wait till a Sierra becomes available? Thanks mate!
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment. A calico is a very very good banjo so I'd feel absolutely free to go for that one. It's worth noting I'm unusual in playing clawhammer on a resonator banjo, most would play it on open back. I just happen to like the sound for the sort of stuff I do which is not your typical old-time clawhammer. Maybe try a few and see what you think!
@DanWalshBanjo Thanks Dan, my clawhammer teacher is all about the openback and old time music. I like the old time music but my heart is really with Irish and Scottish music. Thanks for the advice and your playing really inspires me!
Wow ❤
Nice.
