- How I play an accompaniment to the song Pretty Polly on banjo. My rendition of this song was purchased by HBO to accompany an episode of Deadwood. (Please note: While I’ll be leaving my old instructional videos up on RUclips, I’m very much hoping you might be willing to subscribe to me on Patreon, which is where you can access all my new instructional videos and other banjo-related content. Please check out my Patreon page here: / hilarieburhans Thank you!)
You are a really good teacher. Thank you😠
Deadwood brought me here. Fantastic version.
Thank you, Jason!
@@HilarieBurhans Yr welcome, what's the tuning?
Also me✋
@@HilarieBurhans just finished the episode Hilarie and wow the song gave me a tear in the eye as it made me reminisce my youthful days roaming and running around with my brother in Elgin, texas thank you for such a beautiful sound
Please see David Lindley's superb version of this song here on RUclips, and notice his revised lyrics that allow our pretty Polly to finally, after like 300 years, get the upper hand on ol' Willy. It goes like this...
There's no time to talk and there's no time to stand
He drew out his dagger oh with his right hand
She pulled out her razor in the blink of an eye
She said no my poor Willy it's you who must die
With a motion so quick that no shadow was made
She cut him ear to ear with the flash of her blade
He lay in her grave the rest of the night
He laid in her grave all the next day
For leading our dear pretty Polly astray
💟
Interestingly, the tune of "Pretty Polly" was used for Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty" and Dylan's "Hollis Brown". Three songs for the price of one!
beautiful. thanks so much, that helped
Thank you for taking the time to help us beginners. Been home with a cold and learned your version on Pretty Polly. I love your rendition of Flippin Jenny. Have you taught this before or is there a tab somewhere? Great duo with clawhammer & fiddle. Thanks again
Very nice..

Nice video.. I've alway was struggled to learn from videos alone though sadly. Do you write down tabs alongside your videos?
Thank you for the vid. I am a beginner and appreciate your playing and teaching. I have a question about fingering the notes instead of chord positions. Does this just come from experience in knowing what notes can be left out? Or is there a way to learn how to play without forming chord shapes? Thanks, Rick
'a modal tuning'...Key? G modal?
What tuning? Sawmill?
good question...
