Wow .. the tone is haunting ..
"Speed bumps" Love it. I'm getting me one. If I can learn to play it half as good as this guy I'll be heaven.
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Frank Markus Instablaster ;)
youre getting a fretted banjo. because the speed bumps are the frets. i think you missheard.
Great sound. I would like to hear it more.
Bryan that banjo gave you a great song .. Love the warmth of your Ome .. I love the in beween notes one gets from a fretless ..Yours Guy
sound sends chills down my spine awesome right there 😅
I'm interested in buying an iud it's fretless also has more of an Egyptian sound ...but I have dad's banjo I just started to try to learn claw hammer style trued to go to F TUNING and turned the string up instead of down and broke a string I laughed but was mad I did ooohhh weelll maybe it will be a song some day🎵🎶🎶🎵🔥🔥🎵🔥
It’s like an Americanized Shamisen.
The shamizen is a japanese-ized banjo. We're better.
so much talented
i dig it !! nylon strings and a lack of speed bumps, clawhammer style, sounds great
That's that sound man. It's spooky old.
This instrument is country music in a nutshell. It's a banjo that makes it easy to do those long slides that country music has.
sick!
Tim Eriksen introduced me to the fretless banjo.
I want a fretless all banjos ive had have frets but i really need a fetless
High lonesome
I couldn't get past the shaky shifty camera angles I was getting sick.
Somebody know what song he's singing ? Thanks
Sounds like a shamisen.
I was just thinking that and was gonna leave a comment, then scrolled down and saw yours. It's a very cool sounding banjo, that's for sure.
JDS Music It totally is. Someone should make some progressive Japanese bluegrass on it.
Yeah! If I could get my hands on one, I'd definitely try and emulate some shamisen sounds. I think it could totally be done.
Weeb
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer thank you
idk. i dont like it. banjo definitely sounds better with frets, i mean guy in the video even says it. but im sure you all glazed over that and said "woah fretless is less common that makes it cool" but there is reason for this not being the prefferred method by proffessionals, Its only worth it if you need the specific sound for your style. which it likely isnt.
edit: i just need to clarify. he said in the video he doesnt prefer the fretless banjo, he just owns one. used it for one song, one song he wrote in 10 minutes.
Surely people can have different opinions. Just because he feels that way doesn’t mean it’s the law lol
So what, so let's say someone hates the Eiffel Tower.. just because it's not a common view, are we supposed to judge him as a poser? No, art is art, and people's brains are all very different.. grow up!
Homy, the first banjos were made of gords, and definitely didn't have frets lol. It was a slave instrument adopted by the Irish and Welsh settlers.
anyone know the tuning on this one ?
Modal / sawmill
He says "its relatively new" and I hope he is talking about his specifc instrument cause the fretless banjo is older than a fretted one. He also doesnt mention its history which is nice when "intruducing" an instrument. It dates back to the early minstrel performers of the 1830s who aparently got the idea from enslaved africans on the plantations (joel sweeny) So the fretless banjo, often called a "minstrel banjo", is the earliest familiar form of the modern banjo. The stringed instrument played by the slaves were a bit different and less familiar to our modern eyes and ears.
Tevis Hodge Jr he obviously meant this specific instrument
Blah blah blah. Most people know the banjo is a historical instrument. It was made popular by Mumford And Sons in 2010 and has been burning up the charts ever since. I mean sure there are guys like this who toy with one but they don’t really make serious music like those Mumford chaps do. The fretless banjo was built in an attempt to give players a smoother sound like the fretless bass in jazz music. Of course with the invention of the acoustic banjo I predict more people will play them in more intimate venues like front porches and living room jam sessions.
Caleb Hawkins lol
@@calebbhawkins Mumford and who? Whoever these blokes are they didn't popularize banjo music😂
@@calebbhawkins Bryan Sutton doesn't toy with music. He is phenomenal
Great sound, but surprising coming from Bryan. What model Ome is that?
tupelo, their most basic old time openback model. I played one yesterday when I visited their factory. I like the sound better w/steel or bronze strings, it's plucky enough with a wood tone ring and being fretless.
Bryan is an excellent banjo player Scruggs or clawhammer style. Was told he's a pretty good guitar player, too. :)
