Waterbound - Two Finger Style Banjo
Waterbound 🌊 two finger style on a fretless tackhead. I played an up-tempo version of this song with @band.reminder.music in clawhammer style. Same tune, very different atmosphere!

Five Miles To Town - Two Finger Style Banjo

Great tune by Clyde Davenport. I've played it in Clawhammer style for years, tried two finger just this week. Gives the tune a very different atmosphere. The crying baby near the end is my son, I guess he grew tired of listening to the same rune over and over again... Hope you enjoy!
Clawhammer Banjo Lesson: Double C tuning
Просмотров 4823 месяца назад
In this video I try to explain the versatility of double C tuning. Personally I don't like practicing with tabs, because they focus too much on the different notes instead of the atmosphere the tune needs to have. Double C is a very nice sounding, easy to use tuning that I think often gets overlooked in tutorial videos. Tuning: gCGCD I'm very bad at breakdowns, so there's nothing of that, but I...

Probably my favourite fiddle tune to listen! This one was first recorded in 1939 by Ernest Claunch. Many versions online have twin fiddles playing opposite melodies, very nice. I can especially recommend the recording by Rhys Jones & Christina Wheeler

Trying to catch the rare sunbeams of 2024. This must be the shittiest spring we've had in years. How's the weather in America? Played on a fretless mountain banjo made by Leon Ballard.
Gospel Plow - Clawhammer Banjo
Просмотров 9987 месяцев назад
First heard this song on the legendary old time album by Chance McCoy and the Appalachian String Band, I believe Adam Hurt played banjo on that one. I later learned the song is in fact much older, and has African-American roots. Knowing this the lyrics got a whole new meaning. I imagine Afro-American slaves endlessly working the fields, hoping to reach God's kingdom when they keep on plowing

Ruby with the Eyes that Sparkle - Two Finger style Banjo (Cold Mountain)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Ruby with the Eyes that Sparkle ✨ I first heard this tune in the movie Cold Mountain. Later learned it's basically 'Shove that Pigsfoot' played in D instead of G. I don't know if the name indicates the difference in key, or if the film studio didn't want to go with pigsfoot. It is kind of a funny name for a such a serious movie..
the Cuckoo - Two Finger Style Banjo
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.11 месяцев назад
New year, new banjo! I always wanted to add a mountain banjo to my collection and last week I finally got the chance. I was a bit scared for the 27" scale length initially, but it turns out to be very comfortable for fretless playing. I recorded this tune with my band Reminder back in 2018. Check it out: open.spotify.com/track/77K7a5dGWDkWxj2uAeExKz?si=mdRlaGVJQhe3zVjdSXw8Cg
East Virginia - Two Finger Style Banjo
Просмотров 851Год назад
East Virginia - I've been practicing a lot of two finger style lately. Started with index lead but it didn't feel very natural. Switched to thumb and that worked out better. I've been struggling a lot with the high notes on the first string, so yesterday I tried to switch those to the second string. Things are falling into place. An interesting journey for sure!

After the recording of Hobart Smith played in fDFCD, another tuning I've never tried before. I tried playing it in open G, but it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

first heard this one on the Tiki Parlour album of Dan Gellert. Very hypnotizing recording and a great album throughout, check it out. I play this one on a 14" fretless tackhead made by David Prat. Hope you enjoy!
Rockingham Cindy - Clawhammer Banjo

A classic Roundpeak tune that's very easy to get lost in. I'm still learning those signature double thumbs en rhythmic strokes but it gets better. Very frustrating in the beginning, very rewarding in the end..

What tuning are you using for this arrangement?
@@AntonEmery this is open G, but tuned down to D
@@JelSnel Awesome, thanks!
Mate, when will you bring this talent to a stage(or a pub or something)
@@dondert8741 haha thanks man! Appreciate it. Downside of playing live is can't screw it up 2928748 times before it's good enough :p
@ hahaha that cursed “recording button”
I'm always happy to see that banjo, your "greasy coat" video is part of the reason I started playing banjo
@@w.jebediah wow that's awesome! Thanks so much :) how is it working out for you?
@@JelSnel Going great! Thanks for asking. I have some vids up of my playing. Also I'm planning on building a fretless banjo over the Christmas break! Should be fun :)
@@w.jebediah cool I'll check it out!
Awesome.
Great feel!
@@danmoth5126 thank you!
amazing!
@@dondert8741 thanks man
Very nice!!
Thanks!
Very nice.I need to remember to slow down- this sounds great played this way.
@@subbuteo71 thank you!
Excellent
@@aBluegrassPicker thanks!
Bought my favorite banjo after watching a video of Pool playing the same model. Will be starting his course in November.
I really like the 2 finger style.
Excellent
@@aBluegrassPicker thanks!
thats so beautiful
@@thehominid5191 thank you!
Wow!! Sweet sound, and a lovely arrangement!👏👏🎯❤️
Thank you! 😊
@@amandasanders1141 You're welcome! Hope it is of help
Thanks Jelle. That has helped me understand things a lot. Not sure why you wouldn't want to teach more, I thought that was great.
@@howiebaby2226 thank you! That's great to hear. I find it hard to teach theory about something as practical as playing an instrument. But if it helped you I might do some more lessons!
Yeah! One of the best versions, caught my ear
Very well done :) who made your beautiful banjo?
@@chiefmeskovic2634 thank you! Ewout Nijsse did. He's a builder based in Vlissingen
@@JelSnel Beautiful. I saw that you also play David Prat instruments. Can you recommend them ? :) I am thinking of ordering an 11' banjo.
@@chiefmeskovic2634 thanks! Yeah I can surely recommend David Prat. Where are you from? If you live in continental Europe he's your best option (shipping isn't as expensive). Are you planning on buying a tack head or a regular 11"?
@@JelSnel I'm from Vienna :) I am upgrading from my Gold Tone AC-1 - so it will be a regular 11".
@@chiefmeskovic2634 great. In that case I can definitely recommend David!
Subscribed! This is the way I like to hear this tune played. Recent flooding brought me here.
Can anyone tell me the tuning he is in?
@@GlennTheWise hey, its sawmill but tuned way down
@@JelSnel awesome thank you
Love this
so very lovely
@@grahamhughes2025 thank you!
nice
Nice, thanks for your thoughts on this matter! i was wondering: do you transpose tunes you 'need' to play in open G to double C tuning sometimes?
@@bluelectrified jup! All the time really :) I just try it in both G and C and choose what I like best
love this!
🎶🐩🎵🎶!!!
@@mikesoule1352 that's a very accurate description:p
Very cool Jelle! I like the approach you took with this lesson, kind of a road map of this specific tuning you made! I like that way better than the “note-for-note copy this song exactly like I do” lessons that you generally see. You’re on to something here, great work!
Glad to hear you like my approach. I wasn't really sure of it so thank you!
Double C tuning is just the best. Ever since I was brave enough to start doing different tunings it opened up so many more wonderful sounds to the banjo that I had been missing in Standard G. Obviously I am still very much a beginner and there maybe other tunings that lay ahead that may come close, but for now I am drawn to that tunes that have that are filled with better depth of notes. Can't sum it up really but I agree completely that the atmosphere is enriched in Double C. Thank you again for getting your head around teaching us, always difficult to put into words what comes naturally to yourself, you basically have to slow down everything and dissect it slowly and verbally transpose it to us. You did grand. I look forward to all your content, great tunes and wonderful playing.
Thanks for the kind words!
Well done, Jelle!
Great lesson Jelle!
Thanks! Hope it can be of some help
Great tune, lovely played.
@@oldtimetunesandsongs thank you!
WOOOOOO. AN ACTUAL BANJO SONG ON RUclips I KNOW HOW TO PLAY. Awesome playing btw
@@bruhman5829 haha! Thanks
Very nice playing. What model banjo are you playing?
@@tylerkelly1965 thank you! This is an Ome Tupelo
Whoa never thought I’d find a clawhammer cover of one of my fav tunes! Is this double C tuning?
@@ThatGuy320 yes it is!
Love your stuff and your vibe
@@AdmiringGardeningTools-dy2rz thank you! Appreciate it
I gave up on clawhammer and went back to 3 finger. I'll be back when I hit another plateau.
What’s the banjo chord progression?
Sounds good !
@@fralin1966 thank you!
NIce!
Found you because you're covering Wade, Thanks for doing this. My 6 year old said you sound really good. ;) I found Wade on Legends of Old Time Music, a 4 disc set at my Library that if you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend.
@@osufwiffo thanks! I think I found those albums on Spotify
oooo this is truly lovely to listen to. Thank you. Haven't heard this tune before but I can understand how it's your favourite. I will endeavour to learn it one day but until then will keep hitting the play button on your video. Thank you once again for uploading and sharing the banjo joy : )
Thank you so much :)
Superb Jelle. You have developed your own sound. Just what I needed to hear today. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Glad you like it
Nice
