What is this performance song called?

Best tutorial so far. Thank you 🫡

Thank you so much; just got my first banjo and intonation was horrendous but you’ve helped me fixed it :)

Man, you are awesome on that thing. I wish I could get to that level. I’m still slow and miss notes often. Great review.

Awesome sound from his Deering custom built golden clipper banjo super loud amazing tone. Kind regards Tim

Please note: this is American tuning. It is not the Irish tuning. It does make a difference depending in the type of music you are playing.

Absolutely nuts

I've had this banjo for 10 years and it has travelled all over the USA with me and even gone overseas to Asia. It's been in the Northeast through below 0 winters and humid summers, the Southwest through 114 degree weather and now lives on the coast in the Pacific Northwest and it hasn't changed a bit. The head is just a bit dirtier but it plays just as well. I used to work in a music store and we sold garbage banjos from brands I won't bother naming. They were only $100 or so cheaper than this one but it felt like a $1000+ difference. I'm seriously very thankful to Deering for making such a quality instrument at a good, entry level price point. It's rare to see.

Blue Chimes

Can you add more clawhammer?

Triplets, sweeping? I reckon I don't even know the proper term but that was a soild job!!!

And here I thought you were stretching a skin head.

Sign me up! Awesome company! Awesome artist!

dude rips a heavenly rendition of this song and then pauses and says "so this songa melody falls easily under our fingers" lol

Amazing eyebrow control!! Great lesson too! Thx.

How can you not fall in love with this woman - she is an icon and so sweet!

Mean Mary is an icon in America - just what the doctor ordered! thx Mary

for a politician to be elegible for election they should be a musician ( bluegrass preferably ..*^%$#; right I'm a musician) these gals are eligible IF they would run.

Song that makes me want to learn banjo

Thanks!

this is the most american thing ive ever heard

Thank you... this video gave me the confidence needed to work on my goodtime special.

I thought the two sounded better than the special, and I feel like I should like the special better!

great stuff, he made it sounds so easy, thank you so much. will visit again.

Do you capo the 5th string or does it remain in G?

BB is my banjo instructor; She is awesome! 😊

I love Mean Mary!

Thank you!

Thanks for these videos! Im just starting and not a musician. These are very helpful!

You get better every time I hear you play!

Watching her pick after finding out about her car accident at a younger age is just amazing. Shows how human spirit and dedication can overcome many hits at life. You two playing is awesome to watch.

Artisan is the one i would buy love the look and tone of it

Ahhhhh! Emily Remler! One of my all time favorites and biggest influences. I have been trying to adapt my guitar experience to the banjo over the past eight years, which is why I focused on tenor and now plectrum: Pat Cloud, Bela Fleck, and Ryan Cavanaugh notwithstanding, for me, the four strings feel more intuitive for jazz playing than the five.

Holy hell! One banjo is more than enough!

That neck tho!

I love this family and thank you for my wonderful Banjos

Astute observations here. As a long time guitarist who took up banjo in the past decade, it always seems weird to me when people try to limit the banjo to bluegrass and other forms of country music. No one would suggest that guitars are only suitable for rock, for example. But there are a lot of people for whom the banjo means always and only bluegrass or old time country music. As Allison says, that ignores the history of the instrument; for that matter, the other forms of the instrument (but then I primarily play tenor and recently got a plectrum, so I would say that…).

Oooh. That sounds nice!

I saw him and his show at The Apollo Theatre in Chicago in 1979. Got his autograph on the playbill afterward. He had a big mop of jet black hair back then. Fantastic performance which I remember now, decades later.

Deering Banjos awesome !

I love the neck on that. I have a Vega Senator.

Thank you everyone I have won this no need to enter.

it's litterally manouche jazz guitar rythme here on banjo!! I didn't know it was playable on banjo.

Excellent lesson, after having so much trouble finding lessons that fit me, this one did the trick! Thanks so much to Barry Hunn and Deering for making this!

GOOD MUSIC
