    That smile, when you moved your picking up toward the edge of the pot...made me smile, too. Sweet spot.

    Sweet. Don't know why index lead seems to be ignored. And the occasional strum really adds to the flow and great sound. Hard to do I think with thumb lead. Enjoyed it.

    Glad I found your channel. You have a wonderful tone from all of you banjos. You prove that great tone is from technique and set up. Even inexpensive banjos sound great in the hands of an artist. People forget that the old timers used cheap mail order instruments to get their iconic sound.

    Fascinating to compare the two styles you played this in. I've been learning banjo for about 3 months and it sometimes seems like every song is in a different tuning, with a different picking style - a bit daunting for a beginner, but I'm inspired by the freedom of this kind of music.

      Enjoy your banjo trip! This technique is one that is pretty easy to get going even at the beginning, so you might have fun messing with it.

    Interesting--the index finger picks both up and down, just as in the playing technique of West African lutes like the ngoni or xalam.

    • @JosephDecosimo
      @JosephDecosimo  3 года назад +2

      cool! I haven't looked into these techniques. Virgil Anderson's index was incredibly fluid in it's up-down movement, easily alternating between picking and bruses.

      @@JosephDecosimo Here you go--this is one of the West African classical instruments par excellence, traditionally performed only for nobility and their descendants.

      Rufus Crisp also played up and down with the index finger. I'm not positive, but I think Matokie Slaughter did also. Pete Seeger brushed with his third finger.

      and Odell Thompson would brush up occasionally while playing clawhammer.

    Calling that a lesoon is it far cry. You can't follow what he plays too fast and not instruction. Just a dude playing and putting a lesson in the title. Also the audio is too low.

      You can pick up alot from this video! I have been playing banjo for 50 years, listen to his overall sound, the timing, what single notes he strings togeather, what notes he emphasizes in a roll. It isnt about the notes but the timing and overall feel. Make a song your own. Learn th basic tune and play it how it makes sense to you.
