Thank you for the tune, as a banjo newbie I appreciate the different banjo tunings but I have not found a resource , book etc. that tells what tuning is most popular for a given song
Thanks so much for the video! It's nice to see clearly what's happening with both hands, and at slowed down tempos. I do wonder though, why the drop thumb? I've been playing it with the same left hand fingering, but keeping the thumb on the 5th string, and it flows much better (for me).
I started playing this and Rain and Snow in open G minor tuning capoed up to A minor. . It seemed pretty natural to do it that way. In sawmill are you playing a Gsus4 instead of G minor?
Thank you, Hilary, for this version of Shady Grove and the method by which you teach the tunes!

I just found your videos and love this style - I feel like I could just as easily add this to a playlist to listen to as use it as a learning tool.
Great job! And thanks much for isolating left and right hand techniques - very helpful!
An angel on that banj

Awesome! Thank you.
Wonderful performance.
amazing
Wonderful work, very inspiring! What are you using on your middle finger to pluck the strings? A reversed fingerpick?
Slow fretboard: 2:15
Slow right hand: 3:12
Wonderful playing and that sawmill tuning really works for that tune. What make and model banjo are you playing, Hilary?
I don't have many banjos-so you will often see me playing this one. I wish I had more! This one is a Bart Reiter open back.

exactly.
Fantastic! do you know what key this would equate to on fiddle?
Gsus4 for the banjo, who might play G minor against it.

Is that a Japanese Knotweed in the background, looks like it but probably some Native American plant. Lovely playing.
looks like a redbud
I don't know what that plant is. I think it is some kind of weed. I let it grow because it actually looked really nice!
