Wait a second. This video got 9 down votes? The dude that wrote the song. the dude that plays the song. . .on stage. . .for money, is teaching you how to play the song, and it got down voted? Tough room. lol
@@Marty651711 lol nah, they're just people who got frustrated by the fact they couldn't figure out it's not in standard tuning. 🤣 got to like the forth bar and the tab started to sound wrong.
You are simply... AMAZING! It's very rare that a renowned performer: 1) Takes the time to make an in-depth, fully detailed tutorial for a song they've written 2) Does so for FREE 3) And does so with such modesty! Honestly, this video just took my respect for you and your band to a whole other level! I'm a beginner banjo player (not new to music but have only owned a banjo for 3 months now) and this is very easy to follow, although it will take some time for me to be able to play it at the suggested tempo(s) clearly. Keep up the amazing work brother, and, of course, stay safe and creative!
I mean with the pandemic now, what about all of the members show how they play their parta of songs? I would love to learn how Nate plays his Broken Cowboy's interlude. Also, have you thought about your own book? History of the band, song tabs... It would be awesome
Absolutely brilliant. One of the fantastic things about this arrangement is that the entire feel of the song, the "swing", is accomplished with a fairly simple repeated pattern that any intermediate banjo player can learn, especially when guided by this thoughtful and super helpful tutorial. As others have noted, it is a real privilege to be taught directly by a world-class performer. Especially useful are tips like building in the open strings to transition to other fingerings without missing a beat. Thanks a million.😀
As I'm watching this video, I'm holding my banjo following Colton's instructions to the tee. Ever since getting a banjo for Christmas in 2016, learning this song has been a top priority of mine.
Thank you for sharing Colton.......reading through the endless comments posted about you throughout the online banjo community, I can comfortably say that you're solely responsible for an upsurge in banjo popularity - keep up the awesome work & stay safe bud.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Colton. Fell down a rabbit hole and found you lot and I've been hooked ever since. You have inspired me to get myself a banjo so this is a great! Thank you! Keep it up!
OMG it was this song that made me fall in love with the banjo... I have just bought one and have been playing it every day just trying to learn some basics... I cant believe I just found this... I am so excited to get home and try it out. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent!!!! Love your work!!! Dee from Norfolk Island
Thank you for this and all your lessons, I really enjoy them even though I am to banjos what a drunk spider is to ice skating!. You have inspired me to buy and persevere with it, and tonight I finally found the groove thanks to you and maybe a little whiskey 🥃. Keep them coming, you guys are already awesome but sharing how to play your songs puts you above all others 🤙🪕
This is truly awesome. From the moment I first heard this song 6 years ago I always thought to myself "I wonder how you play this on the banjo". NOW I know. Thank you. Cheers to you Sir!
This is a Godsend !! Colton himself giving this turorial is way beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Colton and for this opportunity to thank you for your brilliant writing and playing skills to follow. I was devastated when you left the band and elated when you returned. The tutorial is a gift I could never repay. My total respect to you along with my deepest regards. Thank you so much.
Colton you are a legend sir, I’m a metal guitarist and decided to go buy a banjo and learn after hearing this, absolutely love it and your playing is amazing. Thank you for taking time the time to do this
Imagine deciding to learn to play the banjo because of your favourite band the Dead South, and then you find Crawdaddy giving lessons on his songs... oh wait!
Was just gifted a banjo by an amazing customer and after having played a little guitar in the past I'm struggling to adjust and unlearn some things. (I'm still learning to hold it properly and tune it and the finger pics feel wierd.) This is the first song I'm learning to play. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Dude - i love it ... i just started to play the banjo after years on the guitar, and i am so happy to have found all your lessons 😁See you in Leipzig, Germany, in August 😉
Officially the first song I am learning on the banjo! This really helping me with some of the sticky parts. Still a little baffled why there is a hit on the open G-string at the same time as the hammer on the 5th fret of the D string. I have just been playing it with the hammer only. Also, is this the same tuning as Broken Cowboy? Love to see the tablature for that one as well.
@@ColtonCrawford Ok... I just told my wife that... played it your way. You win... she likes your way better. Now I just have to figure out how to do it faster... and I almost had the timing down.
No, really? Wow! You're amazing! I'm starting banjo just because this song (and this band!). How to turn a jazz guitarist like me in banjo player? Answer : The Dead South! Thanks! Greetings from France
Thanks brother Best break down I have seen yet Dedicated to learning this song Hopefully we won't meet in Hell rather meet you in banjoist heaven Truly gratefully dead
Thank you sir! Very cool that you take the time to do this. It's a generous gift, and a perfect lesson. Easy to follow. (Not that I can play it yet) You're awesome! You do know you're famous, right?
Hey Colton, I totally agree with @jonathanwellington9565. It is greatly appreciated to have such a talented banjo player take the time to help others like myself. l love tunes that are different or with a twist. Just came across TDS this weekend and love your style, when I was looking up TAB for In Hell I'll be In Good Company and found the actual artist, well I was shocked. Figured you'd kick ass and I as a 63 year old player would no way be able to figure it out. Still might not, but you do a great job in explaining it. I appreciate your passion and that you take the time to share your talent. I hope to catch you guys in concert, but until then, going to hit your channel up as much as I can or until my fingers wear out. Thanks again. Cliff
I started playing banjo because of you and Mean Mary... Started playing around with this song...the high part feels easier to me for now, but I've only playing for less than 3 months..
I really got into your music a little while ago because of this song but a few weeks a bought a banjo because of your playing, and banjo odesy. Hopefully some day I will be able to play them
Most definitely NOT a banjo fan but I enjoyed this. Good breakdown of a song I love. Heard the one about the guy who left a banjo on the back seat of his car ? Some b*stard broke in and left another one :) Seriously, how many bands/players would post a howto of a song ?
For some reason the riff goes okay but the run gives me a note *quarter tone* higher than yours. I checked and rechecked the tuning and I'm just baffled at this point
After the run you play one more note in the song that you didn’t show in the tutorial, I think it’s a slide of some sort because it sounds twangy, what is that note? Hate to be that “you missed a spot” person haha but I just want to learn! Thank you!!!
I want a banjo pretty bad. I do have a couple rolls of charmin, or 3 rolls of generic I'd be willing to barter. Just kidding. . .sort of. This will be one of the first songs I learn though. Love Dead South
@Christopher Koral I'd love to buy one. But my job is up in the air right now. I was essential, now I've been down graded to pretty darned important. We'll see what Monday brings. at any rate, Rent before car. Car before electric. Food when it becomes the most pressing, And banjos way way down below internet and dog poop bags. So yeah, my job needs to get a little more secure. But it will happen, eventually.
I barely understand anything of this because I never had any instrument before, but the amount of knowledge and experience is awesome, and it's so exclusive to hear "In Hell I'll be in good company" like this, my favorite song!
I just brought a Banjo and I don't even know how to play, but watching you play on The Dead South made me get my groove on and start, I play the guitar but hey your playing has simply inspired me to change over, and what better way to learn from the man himself, sending heaps of thanks from Brisbane, Australia born and breed in New Zealand lesssgo
Absolutely smashing! Thank you! It's actually my husband learning to play the banjo, and me guitar, but the TAB is doing his head in, so I just had to sus it out! Can't exactly see where you have your fingers in the last part though, the 3 strings... your tab is slightly different to the one we printed out..... I see your 5 and 4, but which are you hitting on the top? Thanks ever so much!
I just recently discovered this band and thought this song might be a good one to learn. (Also recently took up learning the banjo). I have a question about the fingering. The print out I got show both 4th string fretted and third string open. Does that mean to play both strings or is it just an option the scrivener jotted down?
I live this song, but I'm a total beginner, and need you to give me the strings you start off with ,it goes to fast for me to write it down .so far i have thumb on string4 then index on 3 then middle on 2 is that right. i would love if you could give me the tab. order for this song

Keep in mind 50% of the people are below average intelligence. We ignore people like that. Thanks for sharing this. You got be playing a banjo.

The song I want most to learn, taught by the fella who performs it, in a medium that makes it simple for me. Thank you!
All I can do is the whistle 😂

Totally agree!
I'd pay good money for that
shut up and take my money
I didn't think Dead South even owned normal clothes. I thought they slept in white collar shirts and suspenders.
That is certainly how they sit in the bath.
@@doglover31418 At least that's how Danny does. ;)

This is the song that inspired me to learn the banjo, so thanks for doing this.
Hello from Paris.
This lesson it's just fabulous !!! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Colton. Fell down a rabbit hole and found you lot and I've been hooked ever since. You have inspired me to get myself a banjo so this is a great! Thank you! Keep it up!
This is awesome! You're the reason i started playing banjo!
thanks for the Video , good work, from Tasmania, Australia
Just started learning Banjo, so I'm not here yet. But I'm saving this video for later on. Amazing tutorial. Can't wait to play along.

how cool is it to have the person who wrote it to teach it.
More musicians should do this

Fantastic. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. From the second I heard this I said I must learn this
Colton you are a legend sir, I’m a metal guitarist and decided to go buy a banjo and learn after hearing this, absolutely love it and your playing is amazing.
Thank you for taking time the time to do this
Imagine deciding to learn to play the banjo because of your favourite band the Dead South, and then you find Crawdaddy giving lessons on his songs... oh wait!
After two measures of that I can't stop myself from breaking into the verse.
No intention of ever playing this. Don’t own a banjo. Hell, I don’t own an instrument of any kind. Yet here I sit watching.
Colton...could you talk Nate and Scott into doing one of these videos for guitar? That would make my day...love you guys.

I don't even play banjo and am blown away by how good this tutorial is.
Dude - i love it ... i just started to play the banjo after years on the guitar, and i am so happy to have found all your lessons 😁See you in Leipzig, Germany, in August 😉
Hope you'll add some more western US spots to your tour! Thanks for adding joy to so many lives:)

That part is optional for sure! I do it because I like the drone sound it gives to the part
@@ColtonCrawford Ok... I just told my wife that... played it your way. You win... she likes your way better. Now I just have to figure out how to do it faster... and I almost had the timing down.
When you play banjo your supposed to fingerpick and thats part of it.
Who told you that? Never heard of clawhammer?
I personally can’t do that very well without muting the first string, so I go for a slide instead of a hammer on if it helps at all
Really hope to see you LIVE...in a few years maybe..keep posting vids.
I saw them in 2019. And was suppose to see them again last wednesday.
THEY ARE SOOOOO GOOD. The shows are so well put together.
I love this song so much. Noce tutorial thx
Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Seriously? This is incredible! Love you your music; love this song! New banjo player actually watching the original artist breaking this down...Nice!
This is really great. The only extra thing I would ask for would be a count in on each of the playing sections.
This will get me through a few more days of quarantine. Thanks!!!
No, really? Wow! You're amazing! I'm starting banjo just because this song (and this band!). How to turn a jazz guitarist like me in banjo player? Answer : The Dead South! Thanks! Greetings from France
👍👍👏😊 love dead south
These tutorials are amazing, Thank you. 👍
Tks for sharing Colton!
Thanks so much🌈
I can do the dance now I can learn the tune😁
Who else found themselves singing along to the fast play? "Dam love couldn't go no furtherrr" I'm guilty.
Right there with you.
I'd like a lot a tutorial on Gunslinger Glory! You are one of the best bands ever!
Thanks brother
Best break down I have seen yet
Dedicated to learning this song
Hopefully we won't meet in Hell rather meet you in banjoist heaven
Truly gratefully dead

Are you kidding me? The guy who wrote it...doing a tutorial? YOU ROCK, COLTON! CAN'T WAIT TO EE YOU IN SPOKANE IN TWO WEEKS!
I started playing banjo because of you and Mean Mary... Started playing around with this song...the high part feels easier to me for now, but I've only playing for less than 3 months..

You did a great job writing the banjo parts for this song. Absolute earworm bro.
I would love to see some fingerpicking tutorials when it comes to guitar too! Can’t quite get notes by ear yet
For some reason the riff goes okay but the run gives me a note *quarter tone* higher than yours. I checked and rechecked the tuning and I'm just baffled at this point
Thank you for the lessons…I have always played it out of tune..lol for over 8 years..
Cleared up some sticky points👌🏼 cheers Colton! Gonna jump on the wagon for a request of broken cowboy. Many thanks again
When I'm playing this, my gf refers to the verse as 'thumbelina twing twang' & the run as 'pickled egg' hahaha
What a generous person you are! Thanks so much for the tutorial 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I don't play but I love the banjo so much. This band is awesome.
This video is meant for the banjo but it works just fine for accordion!!
what a great tutorial, especially with that bit about using open strings....thanks heaps for doing these
Thanks, Spain is waiting🤘🍺😘
God of banjo
Hello thanks for this excellent moment see you later
Can't believe I'm getting this under my fingers as a beginner and from the man himself. A happy English picker 😁.
After the run you play one more note in the song that you didn’t show in the tutorial, I think it’s a slide of some sort because it sounds twangy, what is that note?
Hate to be that “you missed a spot” person haha but I just want to learn! Thank you!!!
Nice crisp sounding openback banjo. Wish mine sounded as good.

Hey thanks a million for the video ... where can we get those finger / thumb picks ?
Dead man's Island, please!!!!
Colton, I'm the Irish guy that met you in Copenhagen.
I have bought a Banjo and I'm now learning ❤️.
Colton We love you
This is like watching an autopsy. Not in a bad sense at all.. The revelation is so cool

What’s it like being in the coolest band in the universe?
This was my first song i learned on the banjo the run part is tricky but its such a good song and such fun, great work!
FUCK YES,NOW I CAN PULL OFF THE PERFECT RED DEAD COSPLAY
I really want to learn the banjo but I’m not sure if I have it in me
Absolutely smashing! Thank you! It's actually my husband learning to play the banjo, and me guitar, but the TAB is doing his head in, so I just had to sus it out!

we found it, Colton, thanks! Four eyes see more than two!
OMG THANK YOU COLTON!!!
Thank you!!! From a new banjo player
Thanks! Where can I find more of these??
This is my favorite song so far and i can play a similar version if not note by note but could you do broken cowboy next
Hope Dead South still make it to Coventry UK in June!
Hope they make it to Missoula MT this summer.
I missed out on Manchester Academy recently
Can u please do deadman isle... pretty please
Meanwhile, Colton, I want to see your tattoo.
I just recently discovered this band and thought this song might be a good one to learn. (Also recently took up learning the banjo). I have a question about the fingering. The print out I got show both 4th string fretted and third string open. Does that mean to play both strings or is it just an option the scrivener jotted down?
Hammer on 4th, pick 3rd at same time
i would love to have this instrument
What about the cello part?
Asael G. Stand up bass
@@larisahouck it's a cello

Can you do Broken Coboy too?
Ипать спасибо ребят, теперь в моей жизни есть кантри
You’re doing a great service to beginning bango players. The bango is a beautiful instrument. Many thanks…
