Cumberland Gap (Clawhammer)

[@zrnoldas]

I'm playing Cumberland Gap bluegrass-style out of the Scruggs book right now, but your rendition may be the most calming, beautiful, unearthly thing I have ever heard on the banjo. Thank you for sharing it. 💓

[@banjogranny9156]

Thank you. Credit for the arrangement goes to my teacher, Dan Stewart. But I know what you mean - I felt the same way when I first heard him play this arrangement.

Nicely done Granny.

[@banjogranny9156]

Thanks. I posted an older video because I’m spending all my practice time trying to learn Flowery Girls. First I had to tab it out, then work out the fingering. Now I’m trying to get it up to speed. It’s a tricky one! ruclips.net/video/YJPmb05ZVcA/видео.html

[@davidoverturf3465]

Another excellent song. Who did you say your teacher was??

[@banjogranny9156]

[@waidewarner]

Great tone and pace! What tuning are you in?🪕

[@banjogranny9156]

Thanks! It’s F tuning - f D G C D

[@johnroberts1141]

This is fantastic playing. May I ask who makes this banjo, it has warmth and clarity.

[@banjogranny9156]

Thank you! The banjo is made by Pisgah Banjo Company.

[@banjogranny9156]

I just realized I told you wrong earlier. This is not my Pisgah banjo, this is a Gold Tone CC-OT. It’s just an entry level banjo, but does have a good tone.

[@olivernash2240]

Loved it! How long have you been playing?

[@banjogranny9156]

At the time this video was recorded -5 years. As of today, 7 years.

[@PartiLeduc]

Hey what is the link to your bandcamp?

[@banjogranny9156]

I don’t have a Bandcamp acct, but here is a link to Dan Stewart’s acct. This is his arrangement and I am playing along with a recording of him playing guitar. danstewartmusic.bandcamp.com/track/cumberland-gap

[@rattyfingers8621]

It shur is purty, just a lil bit cumberland gap. Listen a bit to morgan sexton on here singing and playing it. Guaranteed youll like it, and youll get something from it. Dont ever stop playin.

[@banjogranny9156]

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

[@here-right-here]
