    Unfortunate, Buster died Feb 2, 2009 of liver failure. What a great player he was.

    it's funny - I bought a banjo thinking it would enhance my guitar finger picking - now I'm learning Banjo Rolls for guitar that will help my banjo playing.

      I met him in 1999 when he did a tour for Godin and I was the manager of a music store in Illinois.
      They didn't promote the appearance so unfortunately no one showed up but he was so nice to me. He gave me a mini lesson on banjo rolls and I think I still have the paper he wrote out for me somewhere.
      I bought two of his CD's and when I hear these rolls I hear the same personality that came through his fingers on those albums.
      You may be gone but your music lives on. Thank you for everything. RIP Buster

    One of the best things about learning music, and even a particular instrument, is being better able to appreciate the skill and articulation of something like this, rather than just hearing a pleasing miasma. Somebody once described it to me as being able to taste the ingredients, not just the stew. So for those who wrote something about this being discouraging given their own level of skill on guitar, no! What you are feeling is just a connoisseur's ability to appreciate it. Good on you!

      It is like magic. An out of tune guitar can lay lifeless in the corner for years. Silent.
      One day a friend sees it and picks it up, tunes it. And suddenly the instrument comes alive. I always loved that about musicians.

      Interesting point of view. I agree, being a guitar player who wrote original music and recorded and mixed my band. You tend to miss alot of subtlety of instruments in a mix. When soloed, you hear all the nuances and little differences, but bring up the entire mix and they fade into a bigger soundscape. I always like picking one instrument and focusing on it while listening to the song, because even that sharpens your listening skills, but you still don’t pick up alot of the little ambient subtleties within a complete mix, but you get close.
      Sometimes you don’t realize the space a player is presenting, like with 2 guitars, piano or keys, and vocals in a mix until you can isolate tracks. Pretty cool though, how separate, sparse parts blend together to sound huge and full in a mix. But on the flip side, listen to parts and the tone of a single instrument, like guitar or bass, soloed, and it sounds smaller and thinner than in the mix. But bring it all up and the mix sounds full and satisfying to the ears. Mixing well is a very cool skill that is very stimulating to our ears and our brain. Have a great day!

    Recently I was trying to pick out what Jerry is doing on chorus and bridge of I’ll Say She Does, after two days I gave up: quality of the record and the volume of Jerry’s part were not helping. But at least I could pick out the chords he plays. Now with this video I realized that Jerry is doing these banjo rolls and I can try to apply this pattern and see what comes out!

    Ha! Well, this is absolutely true and I know a story behind it. Jerry was friends with my grandfather. They met at a studio in Atlanta when they were teenagers. Jerry was playing the banjo. My grandfather played guitar with him. They moved to Nashville. Jerry got his unique sound by incorporating his superior banjo skills into the guitar. It was banjo first then the guitar sound came. True story.
