Great playing! I learned these from Luther Davis at his home outside Galax, VA 45 years ago, and I love to see his tunes being played and spread around!
come a long way and the sun go down took off my hat and i set on the ground got a long way to go aint nothin ever gonna come my way oh no aint nothin ever gonna come my way
Hey Steve, I love your playing. Should I start out on a fretless gourd banjo? I have some music experience (3 years training on bass), can play the guitar a little. What would recommend to get started?
Would probably be more practical to start on a standard banjo, since most initial instruction is targeted as such. Fretless makes hitting proper intonation more challenging. And a fretted banjo would lend itself to instilling proper muscle memory. But I’m aware of a few people that went fretless pretty early in the game. 🙂
tks..I tried that on my short scale stewart with aquila reds...doesn't work so well. I love the sound you get from the gourd...Ive been trying to find one...on a wait list with Romero banjos for now. @@steveallerton9124
Folks, playing that tune like that is perfection. Hats off to you sir!
I'm a simple man. Steve posts a video. I enjoy the video.

Thank you Sir ! Your rendition of Hiram Stamper’s “Chinquapin Hunting” with Cliffhangers is an all-time favorite.
Excellent rhythm! Flows so effortless. Almost hypnotic.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the lilies blowing in a gentle breeze. Steve you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like it. Thanks for being kind. 🙂

Here’s an alternate take : ruclips.net/video/VEW9LdgYNbM/видео.htmlsi=8DbvLoXexO2hQc8F
what tuning are you using on the gourd Steve...what perfect gourd tunes...to my ear.
Thanks. Tuning here is eAEAB. On a conventional banjo, the tuning is Double-D (aDADE).
tks..I tried that on my short scale stewart with aquila reds...doesn't work so well. I love the sound you get from the gourd...Ive been trying to find one...on a wait list with Romero banjos for now.
