Thanks for this, I love this tune! The story known around Quebec for the tune's origin is that a man was set to be hanged. He was offered the opportunity to save his live if he could play a tune to make the gaoler dance - on an out of tune fiddle. Hence the odd nature or cross tuning it's usually played on fiddle. Such a great tune, thank you so much for showing it on banjo!
Hilarie, thank you so much for your videos. I'm a more or less (some homespun stuff) self taught player. Your tutorials are a great resource and inspiration to me.
In G tuning, make an Eminor chord, and almost all the notes to "Undone in Sorrow" will be found in that chord and in the open G chord. It starts in the G chord. Play the third, second and first string, and then hammer the first string at 2nd fret. do three bumdiddys and go to first string, 5th fret for one note, then back to first string second fret, pulling off to open firststring, then, second string open, .. hope this gets you started
Learned many songs from you but very new at all this. One question. You typically hold and play in this same position. Why or what is purpose of banjos with no frets low on the neck by the pot! You don’t use a banjo made like that, why? I’m confused. What is the banjo called that has no frets like i described? I’m very comfortable in same position as you so I think I would like to have a banjo with no frets where my right hand is. Thx
19stoney64 That area where the last few frets are removed is usually referred to as a scoop.. Ideally the right hand needs some room under the strings, while for the left hand, lower action is desirable. If the “action” (distance between the strings and the fretboard) is fairly high, it makes the stuff you do with your left hand more difficult, and can make some fretted notes, especially on the 3rd string, sound out of tune. But having some extra space under the strings makes it easier for the right hand when playing clawhammer style. Newly constructed banjos often incorporate a scoop in their design, because it gives the right hand room to do its thing, but left hand playability and intonation do not suffer. I have a newly constructed banjo that has a scoop, and this one which is much older and has no scoop. I love them both.

Interesting Hilarie, Albert Hash lived a couple hours up the road from me. He was a great fiddle maker from what I hear.
I love the historical background included in your tutorial videos. Really makes it more interesting to learn and play. Thank you!
