    gDGBD relative ≈ fCFAC actual. I learned Sourwood Mountain from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. George played it using a relatively heavy overhand style, and my version is very similar. As I attempt to explain in the video, I learned this as a free-wheeling banjo song, not as an "old time" fiddle tune with repetitive A and B parts.

    Ah, the downtuning made me think they were gut/nylon strings (but they DO look really thick - are they nylon?).

      second update: didn't pick up the banjo for several weeks and was moved to try this again today. finally figured out the part I wasn't getting (:
      (trying to learn more by ear/instruction instead of just tabs because I'm a sheet music person and want to improve my listening)

    Hi Clifton, You have inspired me greatly on the banjo and I've learnt a ton of your songs as they are truly amazing! Is there a way you can post a tab or video on how to play 'German War' two-finger version, this will be greatly appreciated, thanks and keep the great playing up!

    I've been playing banjo on and off for a few years on a really beat up cheap banjo. I was hoping you'd have recommendations for a decent banjo ideally purchasable in the UK.

    Do you play with a band too or are you like me with no options for bluegrass in your town. I’m a couple hours from you in highlands nc and nobody plays up here. I’m right smack in the middle of Appalachia and ironically bluegrass is dead.

      I think those tailpieces were shipped on Lyon & Healy banjos out of Chicago.

    Newbie here, was wondering how do you do the strum so it sounds so muffled? Every time I do the overhand playing my strums sound loud... I tried to play it less like a guitar and tried to make my hand come on strings vertically but it ain't did nothing... Any suggestions?

    • @CliftonHicksbanjo
      @CliftonHicksbanjo  Год назад +2

      Keep trying. Experiment with different tailpiece, bridge, head, strings, get an antique banjos, etc.
