Great version, distilled the song down to its original form. Perfection achieved.

[@MichaelNeverisky]

Beautiful, thanks so much!

[@benjamincoronado9723]

Simply amazing. Makes my heart cry for not knowing how to play music.

[@fiddlemusik]

Pick an instrument ... call a teacher. You are not trying to get to Carnegie Hall; just playing for the sheer joy of it. :) I love my fiddle adult students... they get it! All the best.

[@dwightharley3924]

Very nice!

[@JelSnel]

Amazing

[@geoffbendall9519]

Unusual to hear this on Fiddle and Banjo only but this is sooo good

[@KyleDuffy00]

Pretty common in Irish folk

[@Shotzeethegamer]

What make is that banjo, thanks :)

[@ArundoTrad]

Great Swing

[@charlesdavidson4815]

Fiddle always seems to overpower the claw hammer banjo

[@brusselsprout5851]

👏🏼

[@ambassadorportal]

1. Great version of this tune!! 2. Why are the frets on the banjo like that? Don't recall ever seeing that be4 ...

[@charlibrown7745]

Before what?

[@petemarch7225]

thats the way it should be played. proper.

[@dianamarquez4774]

Good foot taping music.

[@aldensanford2550]

Wow..........

[@dickbrannin]

thanks.

[@MommaRed1862]

cant get over his bobble head lmao hilarious

[@stevebaker1514]

Index or middle finger on banjo? Are you wearing some sort of pick? Sounds great!

[@SivikTF]

Claw hamemr so no pick and index + thumb picking.

[@evancoombs2110]

Just curious about the tape over the ends of the strings on the head. Does that have a significant impact on the sound?

[@eseyfried79]

Acts as a mute

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Hi Evan, It's a small piece of paper wrapped in-between alternating strings. It helps dampen some of the over tones you get when playing, those bits of string behind the bridge can generate a lot of sound.

[@joshuahollis6797]

How is the fiddle tuned?

[@icappel]

I think it's standard with the G and E tuned to D instead

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Hi Joshua, The fiddle is tunes to DDAD. It's a great tune we got from Doc Watson & Friends. Have fun!

[@gutbucket260]

Tuning on the banjo? I know lots of fiddlers tune to dead mans tuning DDAD.

[@heartagramskater21]

this is kind of a mix of cruel willie and bonapartes retreat. sounds cool but it doesnt sound like the same song anymore...

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Hey there, we got our version from Doc Watson & friends. Would love to know where your version is from? One of the best things about old time is all those cool adaptions of tunes from all over! Thanks for watching

[@otryma]

There are a LOT of different tunes, all called Bonaparte’s Retreat. Some sound similar, others are completely different. This is one of my favourites. 👍🏻
