Bound to Ride - Clawhammer Banjo Lesson (Ralph Stanley)

[@Slingin_Bait]

I'm impressed with how his dog stayed in one spot for so long while in the woods... I'd be too busy yelling my dog's name to record anything of worth, haha.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

She's a great dog, and one of the few people I trust.

Never realized that one part of this song became the first line in “Big Balls in Cowtown” made famous by Bob Wills, it was only slightly changed becoming “Working on the railroad, sleeping on the ground, eating saltine crackers for 10 cent a pound” then of course going into the main part of that song “Big balls in cowtown, we’ll all go down, big balls in cowtown, we’ll dance around”

Its a damn shame that talent like yours is so underrated these days. Your the man Clifton.

[@NoQuestions4sked]

Finally got it. Been super busy, this is the first song I've learned in like a month

Just took a ride down through The Blue Ridge, NC/VA border. God’s country. Thanks for sharing.

Man, I've gotten so much enjoyment from your vids and pics I don't know how to thank you.... I've always loved the old guys like Clarence Ashley and Doc Boggs and you bring it all right up to now... I'm going to go order an Old Leatherstocking t-shirt right now!🎶✨🌿🍷😎 ✌🏻

[@vanessaford9966]

Thanks for this! And thanks for the perfect camera positioning so the dog is in clear view 🐶🤠

[@Emma-pw8rt]

I found your channel by clicking on a random Leatherstocking video (not sure what it was going to be!).. and since then I’ve learnt so much from you.. amazing talented man! Thank you! X

[@davelowe3516]

Yes, been waiting for this one for a long time, thankyou Clifton.

[@mdb9501]

Wonderful rendition, thanks for the instructions. I can't sing in F so I'm tuned down to E which works fine too. Best wishes man

[@vinsamson8061]

Fabulous stuff Clifton! Been waiting for this one from you for a good while! 👌🤘🎶

[@nikolairuskin]

[@jimsatterfield8748]

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

[@addictedtoeverything]

Great work nice sound

[@jimholmes341]

Thanks Clifton good stuff!

[@dwaingibbs93]

Did Josh Hayes play this in overhand when you learned it from him? More so than anything I was just curious but watching you up pick this song is really making me want to play around with it. Great tutorial and video as always!

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Hayes' overhand style sounds similar to my up-picking, so I've always up-stroked this song although he typically overhands.

[@PAINFOOL13]

Thanks Mr. Hicks 💀👍🏻

[@joannebaum5459]

Thanks Clifton...been working hard on this..i dont want to copy you but i want to be able to do some of the things i hear...i would really like to be able to take an in person lesson with you one day. Do you ever give those?

[@scottivy5925]

[@johnkincaid6073]

And I’m off down the rabbit hole !!! Thank you sir 🙏😵‍💫🙏 any idea on hills music shoppe nc ? It’s where my old old 5 string came from ! Thanks again !

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I don't think I've ever been to that store.

[@PermacultureAppalachia]

👍👍

[@matthewphillips5352]

Is there any new sightings of Old Leatherstockings playing some new music?

[@DolittleMccoy]

I hate to bother you but is there any way that you can show how to do this song at a beginners level? Id really like to move forward from cripple Creek and try and learn this one. Thanks

[@АлександрБирюков-н2й]

хорошо играешь на банджи а яишницу сможешь на ней поджарить

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Спасибо. Никогда не пробовала жарить яйцо на банджо!

[@rotisseriebear5394]

@@CliftonHicksbanjo It makes more sense after drinking vodka, and jumping out of a hot tub straight into ice water.
