I really loves to hear some australian clawhammer banjo. Mostly its american i hear, and play. I try to learn clawhammer myself, and i think its so inspiering to her your way of playing. 👍🏻 Can you tell me the tuning you are playing?
@@wasp1218 What makes you say this? Honestly the origins of the instrument in Australia are pretty vague. It may have been the case something like a banjo was on that fleet but the instrument was evolving over that period and the first mass produced banjos weren't manufactured in the US until the 1840s. Before then they were kind of slapped together with supplies around the farm, mostly by slaves but by many whites as well. That said the constituents of Australian roots music would've been largely the same, with exception of blacks, and the instrument would've surely taken hold quickly, as it complements the fiddle perfectly.
Right? This is very artistic and all but the only sight of the fretting for this tune comes at 1:50, where he appears to be playing in double-C, capo'd to E. I can kinda piece it together by ear but the emotion is off, it's too optimistic. He's done something with the drone or I'm in the wrong tuning. Perhaps he's playing fGDCD (cumberland sawmill) capo'd up to the 4th... Haven't figured it out yet. Seems like an important folk song. Hope I can piece it together!

There would have been A banjo on the first fleet in 1788
