This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen or heard. I have never seen a banjo played like this.

[@joannehack7588]

Yes indeed

[@jimb2427]

Stunningly beautiful

[@katjating387]

Beautiful!

[@JackSutherland-qh8xt]

one of the coolest clawhammer arrangements i've ever heard

[@Jeff5P]

Very nice! This is one of the first pieces I learned when I started playing fingerstyle guitar nearly 40 years ago.

[@sweetgoose]

You are an extraordinary player. I dream of being this good of a player one day. Bravo

[@TravisBoudreau]

Always impressive ! That was beautiful

[@denverado5594]

You have what looks like a mini sleeve or wrap on your striking finger. What is that, and is it to soften the tone?

[@Bahruse]

Do it again. ❤

Very nice, Sensei! I’ve played pieces by this composer on classical guitar, but this piece now will have to be on Clawhammer instead. :-) Great to see you, even if it is virtual. ❤️

genuinely inspirational, thanks for showing this. im learning the banjo and read whispers of an instructional DVD. is there a link or such? no stress, all the best

[@zenbanjo2533]

Hi. thaks for the kind words. There is a Zen banjo DVD available for download at Bandcamp, (I think).

[@anyruginthehouse]

@@zenbanjo2533 ok amazing! Thanks so much. You seem like a very lovely soul. Also wanted to show appreciation for sharing your knowledge, sincere thanks. The triplet thing in particular (I'm irish and so badly wanted to play Irish tunes) also loved the classical tune you played. ❤️

[@zenbanjo2533]

Perhaps you might bring the California Roll to Ireland. It is a way that clawhammer banjo can sound a bit more Irish. (We can change the name to Galway Roll, if that would help.) @@anyruginthehouse

[@anyruginthehouse]

I wouldnt dare rob you, my good man! appreciate the gesture though. i just got the dvd. thanks brother, i hope you're doing good out there and life's trials keep you kindly. take it easy @@zenbanjo2533

[@anyruginthehouse]

sorry if im taking too much of your day, but i had one more question. my 5th string is slipping when tuned to e flat for trance tuning, am i missing something? absolutely no stress to reply brother. thanks

[@denisejanetos2481]

Is there a tab for this?

[@zenbanjo2533]

Hi Denise, I’m not sure. I don’t think so. Nice to hear from you.

[@fastidioussloth6013]

Nice, but Robert de Viseé is less Classical than Baroque, appropriated by classical guitarists, which is fine.
