Ron Stewart - Bluegrass Banjo

[@HaydenMurphy92]

A lot of JD style in Ron's banjo picking👌🏼

[@BanjoBen]

This is also a grand example of tasty playing, "less is more," etc.

My banjo playing pal in Finland contacted Waren Huber to buy a Yates banjo. Ron shipped the banjo to me in Texas. When my son visited Texas he hand delivered the banjo to the Finn player. Ben Fodstad of the Finn BG band Velvet Blue.

This is what I like about Russ Carson. He posts a video of one of the best all time musicians to make a point. Somebody has a video of Russ doing the same style of working a mic. Ron is a humble guy to. Has a lot of fun on stage. Thanks Russ.

Same, thank you for posting !

Sammy Shelor is the best I've ever seen at working a mic.

[@bobbywilliams9772]

hes so dramatic. But man I love his stuff

[@bigearl33]

As a bluegrass guitar player,,, I love doing this !!!!

[@oversfam]

Good playing Ron.....

[@jblader111]

I think another crucial thing seem to forget is to know your mic. Ron uses very similar style wide range mics that he knows at every show. As a mandolin player, I almost always carry a mic i'm comfortable playing around with me.

[@PreWar1934]

Perfection!!

[@Pete-z6e]

Slick, perfect!

[@symphonyfarm2009]

Seriously Russ - throwing out the bluegrass crack for those of us obsessed with thinking about the art form, playing in our own like podunk band, but may never play on a main stage.

[@PeteDenahy]

Right on!!

[@windsurfertx1]

I noticed when he picked down the neck in the Y position he moved in closer to the mic because the Y position doesn’t have as much volume as the X position.

[@bobbywilliams9772]

oh thats where you are wrong my friend. A prewar gibson only gets louder up the neck in the right persons hands

[@mic8435]

The best

[@nathannisley3718]

Is that a drone at 2:33?

[@81crowe]

yeah haha. Someone working for the festival was flying a big DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 getting shots. That's trad music in the modern age for you!

[@grasser82]
