Buck Creek Girls - clawhammer banjo tune (experimental extended version!)

  • Buck Creek Girls! This is another song I learned at banjo camp. I went for a slightly different format for this video: instead of deciding which variations I wanted to play and slotting them in to a shorter tune time, I just looped the song for a long time and played with all the variations I'd learned, and then started making up some on the spot. It's very disorganized and not the cleanest playing, but it was really fun to sit with the same tune for a while and see what I could come up with. Let me know if you want more extended versions of songs, or if you prefer the shorter, more concise takes! I personally think these extended takes make really nice background music to listen to while relaxing or doing simple tasks. I wouldn't want to do them all the time though, because it takes a lot of energy for me to play straight through with no stops for this long!
    I learned this tune at camp from Allison Degroot, who learned it from a recording of Hobart Smith.

    the banjo will always have a special place in my heart-
    it is how my parents met
    he was the banjo player for a band
    they met at a party he didn't want to be at, and she wasn't supposed to be at
    they spent the rest of their lives together

    I hope this isn’t weird or anything but it’s nice to see you without a hat.
    Anyway the banjo playing is enviable. Although I’m too old to be envious I’m just rather impressed.
    Please keep it up you are impressively special!

    Love the experimental extended version in fact would like to see you go even harder on the tough parts as the variation on the theme. Reminds me of post punk and indie bands that embraced a bit good dissonance as an important part of the song. Also you may enjoy (WOVEN HAND David Eugene Edwards) from 16 Horsepower

    This is your best one yet! I imagine myself just rolling along riding my bike (bicycle) at a steady pace, swerving around pot holes, then flying down a hill lickety split. Then I climb up a steep hill huffing and puffing. I rest up a little bit and settle into a steady fast pace and sprint the last hundred yards home against the wind. I need to catch my breath.

That being said, Your channel is a treasure trove of amazing smiles waiting to be had in a day... I've been a fan for a bit but still haven't made it thru all the vids partially because i love discovering a new one when i am feeling particularly down and need a lift.

    Фиби, расширенные версии очень нужны!
    Действительно, все получилось, как ты задумывала.
    Получилось очень интересно, - эту твою "импровизацию, состоящую из вариаций / разных техник игры" - очень интересно слушать целиком. В целом она получилась не хаотичная, а интересная, и довольно логичная. :-)
    С другой стороны, это действительно получилась музыка, под которую я, например, действительно свободно могу делать какие-то простые вещи. (И не только простые, - я вчера плату с электроникой под эту твою пьесу ремонтировал. И отремонтировал.))
    Так что твоя затея удалась!
    В общем, здорово получилось.
    Я думаю, что нужно и то и другое, какое-то количество таких расширенных версий, под которые действительно получается работать,
    какое-то количество разобранных мелодий, для джема с друзьями,
    и какое-то количество концептуальных пьес, возможно, и более того, скорее всего того, что ты сочинишь сама.
    В каких-то пропорциях и первое и второе и третье нужно.
    Спасибо тебе и успехов!
