1930s Epiphone Recording A Tenor Banjo - Bye Bye Blues

Tyler Jackson of Hearts' Home Acoustics plays a 1930s Epiphone Recording A Tenor Banjo. The banjo has been sold, but you can view pictures of it at store.heartshom...

[@gregduff1458]

had to put my banjo down and listen. don't think i will ever play again lol. that was awesome

[@FunkAndFluff]

Never stop doing what you do. The world needs more Dixieland.

[@mainer98]

Good to see a young guy playing tenor jazz banjo, and so well. It's been close to being a dying art.

[@pilotdrift05]

I just got one and I’m loving it

[@zeppy13131]

Wow! You sure don't hear 4-string banjo playing like that very often these days. Great!

[@heartshomeacoustics355]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@mike2st808]

This is a late reply but look up Philadelphia mummers string bands. They play like this all the time

[@BoggoRoadies]

@@mike2st808 The Mummers are fun, but Tyler is one of the best tenor players in the world. There isn't a Mummer strutting through Philly that can touch his technique.

[@mike2st808]

@@BoggoRoadies very true! But there the two play different styles. Many different strumming techniques are used between Jackson and the mummers. Both are great, but Jackson is a 🐐🐐

[@capemaxi]

Enjoyed this.

[@datsunlambchops4624]

Hope people can appreciate how slick your strumming is. Thats tight.

[@donne9768]

I was gifted a Paramount Style C a few weeks ago. With the help of the internet and the banjohangout forum members, I've got it rebuilt and playing. I've been playing guitar since I was 11 years old and I'm 57 now. This is exactly the banjo style I want to learn. I feel like I'm staring at a mountain I might be too old to climb when I watch this guy. Amazing playing!

[@johnhill8275]

Absolutely best of best

[@stevenkoehler6018]

Excellent!!!!

[@miguelmarquez4192]

He cant help but have fun. What a cool song

[@willcaviness]

awesome playing. He looks so relaxed! yet the music is intense

[@officialnicklez7659]

It's like Wander and Sylvia are wandering in their galaxy still and Wander is playing this awesome jazzy motive.

[@nicedavies]

Toto je hudba! Ďakujeme Vám! 😊

Thanks!

[@AmosTheTalented]

What a fun little sound!

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

Ai Yai Yai! Fantastic.

[@nonstoprocker5377]

The Van Halen of tenor banjo...incredible man...!!

[@Lalairu]

I was considering the banjolele because banjos are bigger. But man, I love tenor banjos too 😂😂 nice tune!

[@jbrockhausen4761]

Beautiful! Love it My dad played this on his banjo. Bless you for sharing.

[@Boingusboingus]

A true maestro. Bravo, sir, bravo!

[@alexandersalz5850]

never realized the super mario soundtracks are banjorelated :D

[@donglebookpromax6405]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@bundr]

That's what inspired me to pick up the tenor banjo!

[@handlesonyoutubearestupid]

They aren’t they are based off a japanese fusion band T square. Listen to the album you’ll hear all your favorite levels.

[@drewmfie]

its more that mario soundtracks are ragtime/trad jazz/swing related

[@charliekucharski2079]

Wow are you professional ! Great arrangement and I haven't heard a tenor banjo played like that in forty years. Thanks.

[@banyanroot]

I love this.

[@JohnBianchi]

AWESOME. Whew - Tyler, you prove the rule: it doesn't matter how good or bad the instrument is, the person playing it that makes it sing. Great, great music.

[@markrogers6065]

Awesome banjo and even better playing... I wish I had the $$ in my banjo budget for this beauty...

[@ThinkGarza]

Completely awesome!

[@massmanute]

Outstanding!

[@jcisco1393]

This is really inspiring. I am going to have to get my old B&D out. I used to play this song with my dad. He played chord melody similar to yourself. I have let my banjo chops go. Did you ever go to FIGA? 100s of tenor banjo players descending on a hotel.

[@edwardgoldsmith8011]

Good tenor playing.its not only a dying art but they took this instrument and change it for the worse.i played with Roy smeck over the years and edgar stanistreet and I'm so happy to see on utube someone who is playing the tenor the right old way.it makes me happy.i teach old school and proper studies.and thanks for showing a new generation what this unlimited precious time instrument is capable of doing.

[@kcpenner]

When I was a kid, my friend's parents bought him a tenor banjo (not sure why!). He was tone deaf, so he always got me to tune it for him with a pitch pipe. But one of the strings kept breaking - I'd try and tune it up to the note on the pitch pipe *plunk, plunk, plunk, BANG!* I think we might have had the wrong pitch pipe. The guy at the music store assured us we had the right strings ... LOVE your playing, by the way!

[@airplanegeorge]

let me guess, he sold you the pitch pipe, and the strings?

[@sergiosanchezlabarca6537]

this guy is insane omfg

[@briansinclair4961]

mighty fine music

[@JustChiminin]

This is how it's done! Thanks for the lesson.

[@TylerJackson10er]

Thanks!

[@johnderby8921]

Very nicely done!!! NH

[@mikeygoodboi]

That was danged delightful! Thank you!

[@fretkillrlives]

Top-notch tenor banjo playing with triplet strums, chord melodies, walking bass lines, single string flat-pick flourishes. Fred Van Eps ("Nola") and Buddy Wachter are a couple of virtuosos to listen to as well.

[@319dhak]

sounds great...my dad has a couple tenor banjos... one just like this one and a dragon epiphone recording.... awesome music

[@someguyspage1809]

Great, great playing.

[@garboseltzer7045]

Awesome!

[@Saraband-duo]

Stunning ....

[@CosasdeDios1089]

Totally rocked it.👍

[@Tauanhimself]

Amazing job! Thank you for this awesome music!

[@FlatlandMando]

jeez, did somebody give this guy a banjo while he was still in the cradle?

[@donavancirksena455]

You’re rad man!!!! I was debating on what kind of banjo to get and I’m stuck on the tenor now. Thank you for posting 😁✌🏽

[@TylerJackson10er]

Thanks! 👊

[@LarryShone]

Fantastic

[@johneverling5766]

jaw dropping wow..................

[@TonyfromBham]

Merci

[@archivestereo]

You’re great!!!!

[@budahbaba7856]

Wonderful! You sound so great, and you are so young! You make it seem so easy! Keep on picking my friend! Love to you! :) I happen to own a 1920's Epiphone Recording A. It has been battered quite a bit. I had to rebuild the resonator, and it has a bear claw tailpiece which i don't think is original. A peculiar thing about it, is that it seems to be of an early enough date that Epiphone had not really finalized their design yet. My best guess is 1926. Great sounding banjo -i just wish i had a right hand that could play it! 5-string is so much easier for me! :)

[@alainmarcheteau8083]

Formidable ..

[@olyaselivanova3134]

это такие звуки, от которых невольно улыбается лицо

[@JMJ44JMJ44]

Most nifty!

[@phillipford8149]

Man, I played a Recording A in a store last week - sounded like utter crap! Must need some TLC, this one sounds great. Playing is out of this world, too.

[@MartinGonzalez-vz9vu]

👏👏👏

[@richardsherwin3259]

Sounds great, now why doesn't my A sound like that.....oh yes, that's coz Tyler's playing it ;-)

[@LAUptegrove]

Of the numerous tunings available, which are you using on this tune?

[@TylerJackson10er]

CGDA

[@christinadrescher3163]

Get ready for the roaring 20s again.

[@proudbanjoist]

That's really great! Do you know where I can get tab for tunes like that? Chicago tuning?

[@mangastache]

Fuck yeah

[@Azmania3000]

Lol you were tap-dancing on that thing.

[@Dutedute2]

Hey man, is there a transcription for this somewhere. This is amazing! I want to try to hack it up

[@tunesmith7437]

Sa weet....

[@postholediggers1859]

I want to learn this tune on my tenor. anyone have a good arrangement?

[@banjoleo]

Hi, I just posted my version of Bye Bye Blues on KZbin and although I play it in Bb, the second part of my video might be very helpfull as it contains the tablatures. Grtz. Leo kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXa6ZZWqd7msgZI

[@mrlegishere]

Excellent stuff. Have you got finger picks on?

[@2tallB]

[@TylerJackson10er]

[@MultiKippy]

[@urshubschmid]

Was für Saiten und Plektrum verwenden Sie, Sir?? Bitte antworten auf: E-Mailadress:: matterhorni@bluewin,ch

[@TylerJackson10er]

Danke! GHS Saiten 34, 24, 14, 10.5 und “mittel” triangular Plektrum. Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut!!

[@urshubschmid]

@@TylerJackson10er Recht herzlichen Dank und viele Grüsse aus Basel

[@nicoleolmert7200]

What kinda fo style of music is this? Or whats the song name?

[@heartshomeacoustics355]

Hi Nicole. This would be considered "Dixieland" or "Pizza Parlor" style banjo. This style was made popular on the Plectrum banjo by Eddie Peabody in the 1920s. The style experienced a revival in the 1950s-60s when the banjo was the primary instrument at Shakey's Pizza, Your Father's Mustache, The Red Garter etc. The name of the song is Bye Bye Blues.

[@fgonzalez90]

WANDER !!!

[@BanjoShane]

Unbelievable playing! Does anyone know what kind of plectrum is used for this style of playing?

[@TylerJackson10er]

Hi there. I use a medium rounded-triangular style pick.

[@borodaaa-vb4ww]

Wander over yonder????!

[@namealreadytakennamealread493]
