I know you guys posted this video a long time ago, but I just came across it tonight, and I LOVE the way you both play this!!!! I was just looking for a simple version of Salt Creek on banjo, for a student. The banjo playing here isn't simple (I found an easy tablature for her), but it's something new for ME to work on now! .... And I suddenly have the urge to run out and buy a dobro! LOL!
As a visual artist, this is just the kind of thing that gets me practicing when I don't want to. Masterful. Thanks for learning your craft this well. This is the meaning of life , right here. Inspiring x 100.
Super super job, both of you! Unique rendition resonating with the "old timey" roots of both original bluegrass as a genre and of this song while bringing contemporary spice to it. I'm a new subscriber!
I'm probably 1K of the 191K views! One thing unique here that I really like is the percussive thing Ryan does hitting his picks on the head of the banjo. Such timing. I try to do this and my fingers just get stuck in between the strings.
My banjo just walked away from me for not treating it right after I watched this. That is incredible. The melodic licks with the single string licks are so good it’s insane. Well done
Hey Mike, I have a resonator guitar like that if you’re playing but do you have any videos or DVDs of your lessons how to play that because between now and Christmas maybe next year I wanna be able to play the resonator guitar not just for Christmas but also for church every Sunday but I would like to be able to transpose the church songs
So, this is completely badass! I have both a banjo and recently got a dobro.... so.. any chance you two complete badasses could please make a tutorial? Would $50 be any decent offer?
Hi John, You can find a tutorial for Salt Creek on my website. I'm happy to teach you your favorite licks from this video in a Zoom lesson. Cheers, Mike
Unfortunately I don't remember all the details. My buddy Pal Harris engineered these sessions. The mic's are Neumann U87's that used to belong to Norman Blake.
Ryan, is your dad MIke Cavanagh ? A photographer who is a member of deviantart ? ..if so, tell him his old DA friend Sally from Sonoma, & California is looking for him ....

It’s 2024 and I’m coming across this for the first time! Damn! So good!
I still come back to this video constantly. My favorite version of this tune
I have listened to this many times. Mike’s lick at 1:37 gets me every time😊
Ryan is a heck of a banjo player and a great person all around. Iv met him once in North Carolina and listened to him for an hour pick.
Two master musicians right there !
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!! Very nice and at a great tempo. Everyone wants to rip through this tune at light speed. So much nicer like this!!

1:52 is among my favorite RUclips moments of all time
Man I love this played with that slower tempo and laid back feel.
I love this video so much. SO relaxed, so brilliant. Mike, you still there? Would love to see you play again
Super super job, both of you! Unique rendition resonating with the "old timey" roots of both original bluegrass as a genre and of this song while bringing contemporary spice to it. I'm a new subscriber!
Incredible chop on that dobro, not to mention the incredible sound of the two together! Some great licks you don't see on the banjo often. Very nice!
Ryan that sounded great! Been a while but I hope things are going well for you!

That percussive thing is so cool. If I remember correctly, it was a new thing thing he was working at the time.
Ryan had the right groove at the beginning.
So good! Whew!
Wow. No words, except, I want to hear more!
Thanks Jim!
That was amazing
The face of sheer accomplishment in timely execution at 1:50. Tremendous, like doctas

SUCESSO.
"One more time" I say, knowing that it is indeed not the last time.
very sick. i spy some tasmanian blackwood?
I love dobro bluegrass
Me too!
I want to learn dobro so bad but I haven't played in years
It's never too late to start.@@justanotherrandompreacher
well, back for my 25th view.....soooo good
Does that Deering Legacy have the 06 or Kruger Swiss ring? Love that sound and want to buy the right ring! I love your version of Salt Creek!!
Well dang ! I'll be dipped
I would so love to hook up and jam on and get some bass and drums all over this and get a Jam on !
Well shit, that rounds it up and puts it into one tight little bag!
I need to learn the lick@ 1:36. It's a tough one.
Those are nice, something to keep you busy! I'm new to the squareneck game but 2:28 boggles my mind.
Amazing, guys! What tuning on the resonator?
They're all in open G
Anyone know what kind of mic’s they’re using? Great performance!
Neumann u87
@@MikeWitcherDobro lol. No wonder they sound so good! Thanks
thats sweet yall should bare down it a little
What microphones , mic amp/rack, audio interface any/all are being used here to record banjo dobro
Unfortunately I don't remember all the details. My buddy Pal Harris engineered these sessions. The mic's are Neumann U87's that used to belong to Norman Blake.
Hello !
What is the brand of your mapple (it seems) squareneck ?
Regards,
+René Bleu Mike would be better to confirm, but I believe it is made by Todd Clinesmith.
Anyone know the tuning the dobro is in?
Open G
Mcdove thank you
What brand of banjo is Ryan playing?
Deering?
the deering legacy, I believe
Hey Mike! Wanna play on a song of mine?
Happy to overdub from home.
Ryan, is your dad MIke Cavanagh ? A photographer who is a member of deviantart ? ..if so, tell him his old DA friend Sally from Sonoma, & California is looking for him ....
sarah koester my last name is spelled diff! No Mikes in the Cavanaugh branch!
Tremendous. i think Matt flinner would round out a nice trio
agreed
The dobro player looks exactly like my kid's pediatrician
You mean that guy looks exactly like me!😉
