What a beautiful sound from that banjo!

These camera angles are wild.

Very nice music .

[@Lanearndt]

I'm really curious why the Amin sequence in the 3rd bar (if the melody is thought of as 1/8th notes) is played in the 5th position with fingers 2, 3, and 4 and not in first position where it's brighter sounding and a more comfortable fingering?
Obviously not questioning the master, but if I was teaching this to a beginner, which I likely will now this week, I would put it on the first three strings: )
