    How have I never heard of a fretless banjo before? It seriously sounds magical.

    Would love to be this young man's next door neighbor; to hear this music drifting over my back fence and through my windows...never seen anyone play clawhammer so far up the neck, it's really a nice sound. Motivates me to pull out my banjo today!

    Perhaps more than any... his style (and this vid) captures the freedom, verve and creativity of clawhammer banjo... but of course... this takes great skill, which obviously Rob has in spades. Ultracool... surreal... love it.

    Positively brilliant! It could almost go indie. Just started banjo 2 months ago and have listened to countless players online in my journey, this so far is the most intriguing. I can't listen to it enough. It already has me thinking of my next banjo being a half-fretless.
    I know some will consider the intro and vid to be odd, I found the weirdness entertaining and creative. The first time I saw it I thought it was some home movie from the 60's. Top notch low-budget production!

    @timlgalliher 10 лет назад +6

    @ Bloom . This is more along the lines of the old school traditional Banjos. They didn't give them frets till later on to make them easier and more appealing to higher class folks and everyday white people lol I'm glad they still make them with the high G .. That's strictly from its African heritage

    It's a semi fretless with a frailing scoop. The sweet spot on a banjo is around the 19th fret so a lot of players have the top 4 or 5 frets and fingerboard scooped here to play over the sweet spot. He's an axing player.
