    Hellow! "Tony & Wyatt Rice & Bill Keith & friends Jam Session" Can someone please tell me in this video that there is something on the back of the 2nd and 3rd string tuners of Bill Keith's banjo that looks like a rod. What on earth is it?

    • @BillKeithBanjoStyle
      @BillKeithBanjoStyle 13 дней назад

      Yes. With those he could turn the 2nd and 3rd tuner simultaneously. Usually the 2nd up from A to B and the 3rd up from F# to G.

    • @lspvdspv
      @lspvdspv 13 дней назад

      Thank you, I appreciate it. Does this device work in open G tuning for the banjo? I'm very interested, can I get one?

    • @BillKeithBanjoStyle
      @BillKeithBanjoStyle 13 дней назад

      The example I gave (F# to G and A to B) is how I remember Bill using them. But you could find other moves. They don't exist commercially, but I remember how they look like. So if you are a little handy, you can make them yourself. They are made from aluminum and have about the shape of the wooden stick in an ice cream. In the middle you should make a hole that fits the axis of the tuner below the button. Keep it wide enough so it is still strong enough in the middle. You could also just have them wider in de middle. Don't have them too long so you don't get bothered with them between the tuners. Bend both sides 90° along the axis of the stick so they are comfortable at use. Well. I hope all this makes sense to you. Keep me updated.

    I really appreciate this Video 🤩. In 1977, I was Bill Keith's agent in France. This circumstantial band was called “Bicentennial Bluegrass Band”, as Bill Amatneek recalls. The show was divided into two parts, one with Bill, and the other made up of the four members of the David Grisman Quintet, with Bill Amatneek (bass), Tony Rice (guitar) and Darol Anger (fiddle), who took part in the 1977 eponym album. “Jordu” appears on Bill's first solo album: “Something Auld, Something Newgrass, Something Borrowed, Something Bluegrass”, recorded in March 1975 for Rounder and released in 1976. It’s the first time David Grisman [mandolin] has recorded with Tony Rice [guitar]. I had recorded their entire concert at the Courville-sur-Eure folk festival in July 1977, before following the band to the Cambidge folk festival at the end of July 1977. I've already put 3 tracks from the Courville (8-10 july) show on my RUclips channel, before digitizing others later. I've also got a few photos, but I'd never seen a video from that period: 🙏 thanks to Thierry Schoysman! nb. “The Bluegrass Quintet” is the name of another circumstantial group that toured Japan in 1976 with Richard Greene on fiddle and Todd Philips on bass (in addition to Bill, David and Tony).

    I believe this concert was July 23, 1977, in Nyon, Switzerland. It is the only footage I've seen of the summer 1977 tour of "The Keith Unit," as Tony called Bill Keith's Bicentennial Bluegrass Band. The translation of the voice over is “If any musician revolutionized the use of the banjo, it was certainly Bill Keith. Accompanied here by two other legendary folk musicians, David Grisman on mandolin and Tony Rice on guitar. Bill Keith gave us an unforgettable moment of folk music in Nyon.” The tune is "Jordu" written by Irving Jordan in 1953. Many thanks for posting this, Thierry, and for your translation of the voice over. - Bill Amatneek

      Hello Bill. I’m so happy you found my post. It was your concert in Nyon. Here’s the translation: “If any musician revolutionized the use of the banjo, it was certainly Bill Keith. Accompanied here by two other legendary folk musicians, David Grisman on mandolin and Tony Rice on guitar, Bill Keith gave us an unforgettable moment of folk music in Nyon.” I heard you were at IBMA this year. I was there too. Too bad we didn’t get the chance to meet. I heard your book about Tony Rice is excellent. Have a look at my website www.KeithStyle.com on which I explain the banjo style of my hero and long time friend Bill Keith. Greetings. Thierry

    I find this explanation of the circle of 5ths immensely helpful, as it graphically lays out the relationships between the notes. Previous attempts to understand the circle have left me without a workable comprehension of the meat of the matter. This approach seems to make more sense to me. Simply put - there are relationships between the notes and chords, and here is a way to visualize / come to grips with the relationships. Thank you for posting this explanation. -Linda Bee.

      Rather than considering the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th notes “delayed,” I think it is more helpful to consider them paired with the note that follows them. A de-DUM sound. And, for beginners, to hear the bouncing roll beginning on the 2nd note, and ending on the 1st note of the following measure: four de-DUM pairs in a row - and then continuing that rhythmic pattern.

    • @BillKeithBanjoStyle
      @BillKeithBanjoStyle 2 месяца назад

      Hey Richard. Thanks for your message. In fact, the way you explain it, is the way I think when I play from a tab. My way of explaining with delayed notes is probably more theoretical than practical. I may adapt the video one of these days...
