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?
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.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Does this device work in open G tuning for the banjo? I'm very interested, can I get one?
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.
Thank you. This is great information, and it's a must-see for anyone who loves Bill Keith. However, it's hard to understand in writing. Your video explanation is essential. I look forward to your help.
Amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing.
These videos are fabulous, thank you!!!
Thanks for the licks, looks like I have a couple to learn before we see eachother next
excellent Thierry!!
Still makes my head hurt but I understand it a little better!
😂
Thank you for this explanation with the graphics! Much of this is already known to me but seeing it with the graphics is very helpful.
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).
This is the real deal
Wow! Thank you for posting this gem ! ! !
Awesome!!! Great picking!!
Thanks so much for uploading
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
@@BillKeithBanjoStyle Thanks for your translation and update on the details, Thierry. And thank you for posting this!
Thanks for posting this historic video! Bill Keith was a friend of mine and we shared lots of music and laughs down through the years. Bill was a genius musically and mechanically. I'm not a melodic style player and I'm from Tennessee. I miss our great conversations. Rest in Peace my friend. John
Thanks for your collection! I want to see more!
Love it!!!
What is the name of this tune?
It’s called “Jordu”. Bill recorded it on his album “Something Bluegrass”.
Written by Duke Jordan.@@BillKeithBanjoStyle
@@gerrytenney8603 Yes. Using the first letters of his name: JORdan DUke
Thanks for the link Thierry Got to love the Swiss A jazz standard played by world class bluegrass musicians and the commentator calls it 'folk music'
Interesting medley of Shenandoah Valley Breakdown and Sugarfoot Rag.
Really good information., thank you...
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.
Thank you. A very well done tutorial. I think the best example of a banjo player employing bounce is the late Allen Shelton.
Thank you. You are right. Allen Shelton was a bouncy player. He had an important influence on Bill Keith’s banjo playing.
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.
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...
Really useful tutorial, many thanks for sharing

Great show! Thanks for it
Thanks!!
Great stuff Thierry. TY
I've been playing the banjo for 40 years and this is a lesson to me. [Phlebitis] I can't figure out the chord progression in this song.
There's a video on the website explaining the chord progression of Phlebitis
I saw your website. It's really great! The history of banjos in Japan peaked in the 80s and 90s, and then sales and information on the instruments declined. However, your website has been a lifesaver.
Your explanation will help Keith Banjo Style players. Please tell us more.
Well, there's plenty on the website www.keithstyle.com. I will add more with time. Anything in particular you would like to see covered?
His solo playing was amazing.
Thank you for posting this video, it was very eye opening. I spent a few hours playing with the cosepts you talk about in the video and i got my banjo to make sounds it's never made before.
Wow! Thank you!
The key starts with a D chord, which is difficult to play but sounds great.
Your arrangement is wonderful !!
At 24:57 the song is Lonely Dream. I was in a band in Woodstock with Jim and played this song. It was a show stopper.Got to play some with Bill as well.Good times.
Ah, thanks for the info. I will update. If you have any recordings with Bill, I’m always interested!
In fact I do. I need to find it! I think I have at least one song handy.
So far I found two live recordings.
How can I get these to you?
Let’s communicate by email. Thierry.schoysman[at]telenet.be
This is a wonderful live recording: BK sounds great and he's high in the mix. Thanks for posting.
I'm so proud to call The Late, Great Bill Keith a friend! Bill and I met at a pig roast in upstate NY and we were friends until we sadly lost him. Not only was Bill a tremendous banjo stylist, he was a ton of fun to hang with and talk about anything! I learned many valuable things from Bill and I miss him. Rest in Peace my friend. P.S. "questionable circumstances"
Nicely done! Sounds like Bill right down to the tone and your arrangement fits beautifully.
Thanks! You can learn it step by step on the website.
Love your arrangement!
Thanks Gigi !
