Clifton Hicks - Brother Jim Got Shot (Hard Luck Blues) Dock Boggs

Join us on Patreon 👉 / cliftonhicks
I learned "Hard Luck Blues" from a 1920s recording of Dock Boggs. Later in life, Boggs recorded the song a second time during the 1960s under the title "Brother Jim Got Shot." I am certain that he's using gut strings in the original recording.
My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eAEG♯B (relative gCGBD), with Aquila "New Nylgut" strings and a traditional two-leg maple bridge by Joel Hooks.

Hey, Clifton. I'm not a player of the banjo currently. I'm interested in it after coming across you. Is the Banjo Heritage course geared towards beginners, or experienced players that want more insight?

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

John, the BanjoHeritage.com course is mostly geared toward beginners; however, my approach is dynamic enough that I think seasoned musicians will also benefit.@@John-mh6os

[@williamkuhn944]

[@paulstarr6316]

Top man Clifford, through the miracle of technology you've just improved my Sunday afternoon here in England with this song.Thank you.

THANK YOU BROTHER HICKS

[@blainechappell5383]

Man, I do like those new strings. As if your Luscomb couldn't growl more, Joel Hooks showed us what for.

[@ewanmcvicar9]

So thankful to have you to learn from. Some of the other banjo “teachers” on here look like they haven’t worked a day in their life

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

For sure. Dodging the townies & hipsters on the pootube feed gets tiring.

[@td4dotnet]
