Cluck old hen-Clawhammer banjo in Sawmill tuning

[@MatthewBishopCounsellor]

For a new player trying to get my head around the basics, it was really helpful the way you slowed things right down. Thanks.

[@davidklein5007]

That tuning is just so haunting, I can't stop hearing it in my head.

[@MrDent495]

Only just begun clawhammer and came across this Chanel, wonderful playing and beautiful voice, doesn’t get better than this!

[@Gballpikker]

Sawmill tuning I LOVE it...

[@WwickedWorld]

i love this sound,I got me a banjo coming in on friday,Cluck old hen is the first i want to learn.

[@Iandimh6543]

Magic the melody comes out of the movement of hand over Banjo

[@GG-uy6rj]

Great video, thanks

[@zachb8012]

I realized I forgot how to play cluck ol' hen. Thinking to myself, "I want to play this in sawmill" went looking at how it's played and of course Hillary's got a video, and of course it's in double C. She loves the ol' sawmill. I've been playing through her songbook but didn't even think to check her channel for this one. Great book by the way. If you like her style pick it up!

Ma'am, I don't need tabs anymore, watchin' your videos is all I need. Thank you so much!!!

[@markholloway9638]

Thank you for this video! I am learning banjo and claw hammer is my absolute favorite technique! I love that tune! Great video!

[@KimStewartMktg]

I can learn that! Just getting started on the banjo! TY!

[@1954HotDog]

Hi Hilary, thanks for all of your videos, they have been a tremendous help. It's a pleasure to watch you play.

[@richardmansfield9933]

I am learning Jed Clampett and Salt Creek, so I really, really enjoyed your video. I play Scruggs style on a $300 Epiphone and I play with the Prince George Old Time Fiddlers and I am the token banjo player. I try to learn guitar and banjo closed chords at the same time. I love that old song. Thanks again. Richard

[@swedenwoodsworks7372]

Wonderful! One of my favorite old time tunes. Simple, yet so much there to play with. With or without the vocals. Nice playing!

[@aawb7751]

Very nice, same as the version in the Ignoramus book which I learnt this week! Some tunes I learn and then I leave them but this is one I think I'll be going back to a lot!

[@richardstrahin6142]

Really great!!

[@hummingbird-p5y]

I love this song. Sound great in Sawmill. thanks for sharing.

[@johannesbroborn]

Lovely playing Hilary! You're amazing, I'll do a version of this soon

[@fredquann2796]

Very smooth and polished

[@dolam]

I am learning the banjo and decided to try and tackle this song in a songbook I have. Hearing and watching you play was incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting : )

[@harvdog5669]

Howdy ms Hilary,, Could you play a long 10 minute version of this and a song called Sally in the Garden. An extended version of both songs if you could please. Your new fan. brother Harvey

[@delmarlemming]

Thank you for this lovely tune. One of my favorites on guitar and now I am learning it on banjo. You explain the sawmill tuning very clearly. Best wishes and keep picking! Your tutorials are all great!

[@banjercat]

Great video, a new player here, love the way you did this!

[@leodebrouwer7282]

Tis is the best version, thanks a lot!

[@justinmorgan5382]

Hey great video! I like how you did the tune in different speeds, it was very helpful. Thanks!

[@rbdavisphoto]

Superior Lesson!.. so you are spot on..MORE MORE MORE

[@hawhee]

I really like your banjo tone.

[@themartialartsmermaid]

This is great, thank you!!

[@SineHacker]

This is very similar to Vestor Jones version - he plays in sawmill with the banjo tuned down a whole tone. I love to bend the notes on third and fourth string :)

[@freeaolcd]

awesome!

[@jerryrobbins5013]

pretty pickin!!!!

[@dangood5080]

These videos help me so much!

[@fungusandthebanjo9249]

I'm currently learning little maggie, then once I have that learnt, this is the next one. I haven't really messed with other tunings so I'm looking forward to it, great videos by the way. Cheers

[@mitchzeitz]

[@markwright6045]

Do you have any songs about 🐓 Roosters...we used to have a donkey in the field next to us that would go off he hawing at about 3or 4in the afternoon and my mom would laugh everyday.

[@joepear5347]

Wow cool how much can I buy a banjo like that for?

[@michhedeberg]

[@ndenisi]

[@danielbeardsley7846]

[@mid-ohioguardian6927]

[@JohnyG29]

Creeeeepy...

[@mid-ohioguardian6927]

@@JohnyG29 I thought she played the banjo pretty good..!!

[@ronhmason]

Love it Hilary, I shared it to my facebook page...are you playing drop thumb?

[@ranzamaceanruig]

I don't think she is, I did not see her thumb play any string other than the 5th.

[@ndenisi]

What make?

[@carywatters]

This is in G sawmill, not A, right?

[@hilarybanjo]

Yes, we are in G sawmill. Usually played in A.

[@stevinwestcott976]

Really like your playing. Just curious, what kind of banjo do you have? I'm thinking about upgrading from my Deering Goodtime.

[@janieedgens1428]

I love my goodtime artisan!
