Brilliant post I feel similar, iron maiden on an Irish tenor, I've a similar predicament God I miss my 5 stringer lol! Remains to be seen I wonder could dragonforce guitarists do as well as this fella who is rocking it.

My Dad passed away on April 16th. Some of my favorite childhood memories were of him playing the banjo. I'm going to play this at his memorial dinner tomorrow. This is one of the songs he played on a regular basis. Thank you for posting!

Raised in West Virginia here. I will never forget this song. This was a common song played in the hollers and things where I grew up. Im learning Banjo now and this is really badass. Im on the west coast now but Appalacia will always be my roots, those hills made me who I am as a person.

[@countrookularich4493]

Pretty good pickin' till 0:29 then turns to AWESOME!!!! Nice Job.

[@AuralayKristine]

So at first I was watching this feeling all encouraged because I'm just learning the banjo and this is the song I"m learning on and the first part, I was like "Oh yeah I can almost play that fast! Not quite but close!" then. Well. Then the thirty second mark hit.

[@lola98405]

Same over here, have only been learning banjo for a month…and started with this song. Blew me away. Might take me a few years to get even half this fast!

[@esa6321]

@@lola98405 If you practice every day for a few hours, you can obtain this level in 8 months definitely!

[@CrispyBaconPress]

I picked up the banjo this weekend and I'm learning this song. I'm no where near as fast as the beginning but I'll get there. I practice every day.
