swsome. this sounds exactly like scott vestall. ITS AMAZING

[@TheWordAboveAll]

Outstanding! Thanks for doing one of the songs I suggested. I have a question for you. How do you go about coming up with an arrangement of a song like this? Do you scour the Internet to get ideas from other people and put them all together?

[@anthonyhowellmusic]

I do not normally look for different idea online. I actually do the exact opposite and try not to look up other ideas so that my arrangements will be original and unique. I just use my knowledge of licks and ideas. A lot of times I use a lot of my own licks and inventions to make sure that I am being different and unique.

[@BrianBanjoMan]

That's cool. How long might it take to work on a tune from start to finish to where you are ready to record it? @@anthonyhowellmusic

[@anthonyhowellmusic]

@@BrianBanjoMan It varies. This one didn’t take me very long at all to arrange because a lot of it was improvised. Sometimes it takes me an hour to do something for a video. My arrangements the songs I played at Winfield took me months to perfect.

[@jlkmusic2431]

What was going on at the end? Some kind of vamping?

[@rickc6726]

Just found you! Wow, sure some great pickin goin on there! 😁👍🪕

Yes it is standard tuning.

[@gregthroberts]

Amazing… I think I hate you, my banjo won’t do that 😅

[@dwakeling38]

Excellent! Love how you mix that strum in there. @gregthroberts lol, my banjo doesn't do that either...
