Rueben's Train tuning looks very similar to re-entrant ukulele tuning. Cool!

[@aaronferralles3042]

You guys are both total legends.

[@Jon-vc1kz]

Please keep these videos coming.. really trying to pick up the clawhammer and love learning some history along with!

[@MarkDally]

Dang. Now I'm gonna have to get a fretless just to play that 1 song

[@shawnnordlund3327]

Yeah Squash! Your northern family misses you!

[@lawriealush-jaggs1473]

What a marvellously erudite person. I am not a banjo aficionado and just happened upon this. A really interesting potted history. Thank you both.

[@naushadjamil659]

Loved it!

[@johnschneider4160]

Just discovered this video, Chance. Thank you, and J.P., for this insight into "Reuben's."

[@theunboundsound]

Man this is just 🤩

[@Townes.VanZandt]

Awesome video, thank you.

[@Jon-vc1kz]

Man y'all kick ass come back to Washington.. Chance McCoy you're my boy

[@zachb8012]

JP sounds like he can't wait to be an 80 year old man.

[@JeffLarkin]

Wow, I've never heard these 3rd and 4th verses. Like so many folk tunes, it got dark really quick. 🤣

[@davidvarnell4406]

heard those from the Holy Modal rounders back in the 1960s

[@SineHacker]

Sennheiser 441 is a fantastic microphone

[@gabrieln3613]

On a session I put mine up to a U87 and did and A/B test.......we went with the 441. Only mic I have ever liked more is the vintage AKG CR 12 tube mic........if you could ever even afford one! My context if playing harmonica 50 years.

[@naushadjamil659]

The tuning is given at 11:00m. It is g C E G C

[@williammaderas6475]

Thanks Naushad!

[@mogi9827]

Someone get this man a pipe and a cowboy hat

[@Shamwilder]

Im sure I missed it but does anyone know the tuning he is using? Thank you!

[@JG-kn7ew]

Whats the tuning here? Sounds like its dropped and octave

[@jaketown7]

How can I buy a banjo JUST like that one? I cannot find one.

[@ClarkMitchell2012]

What's the name of the album that was recorded?

[@chazworm3]

Fretless gutstring banjo is Punk As F*ck! (PAF)

[@Shamwilder]

Lmao the OG punk 😂

[@jimsymons8154]

Good voice , looks as if he could do with help from a psychiatrist.
