[@alilehman1172]

Does anyone know what roll pattern he’s using ?

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I offer tabs for all of these at Patreon.com/CliftonHicks

[@jackcommonman1381]

hi..I've been following your channel for a while and you probably don't need anyone else to tell you how skilled you are but I got to say you're the type of player who can either inspire someone to play better or to put the instrument down forever..I hope I'm the former haha

[@fredericknewbill2703]

Thanks, Clifton!

[@mrgildons]

the way you play this song remind me China Poplin from Sumter playing "I don't want to get married" on his old Epiphone resonator banjo

[@beercrawlerrc]

Very easy to understand, great job

[@cliffsurridge7259]

Great tune. Excellent as ever thank you for sharing.

[@hillconrad215]

Thanks was looking forward to a breakdown! Been really enjoying your history stuff as well

[@thomashumphries3519]

Cliff, I was wondering if you could put up a new instructional video on the song, walking boss, Thomas ashley...that would be great...

[@mrbuttergames]

Loved to learn this, as a sidenote: any reason you stopped doing close ups of your songs?

[@wardbreeden6573]

The very beginning of this video can be your close-up! Just use the little cog wheel in a corner of the video to slow it down however much you like, great tip I learned from another video of Clifton’s.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I used to upload "close-ups" as separate videos; now they are included in the "lesson" videos. We're also providing tabs for each song here: patreon.com/cliftonhicks

[@tomnelson3362]

Clifton, is the tab for this song available for purchase individually?

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

You can download this and every other tab for $5 at Patreon.com/CliftonHicks It's a monthly subscription, but you can download the tabs, then cancel your subscription and only pay $5.

[@kylebushey4590]

hey clifton thanks again for sharing this lesson for free. But, i do have a question. Whenever im doing the e minor run and then i slide up to fourth fret on all the strings it sounds so off. I'm in the same tuning as you so i dont know what the problem could be?

[@NoQuestions4sked]

Your intonation is probably off. Adjust the distance of your bridge from the tailpiece, and try cocking it at an angle. Test which produces the best overall intonation, a banjo will never have great intonation without a compensated bridge.

[@kylebushey4590]

@@NoQuestions4sked ok ill try it! Thank you so much

[@blainechappell5383]

In general how often and for how long do you practice? I try to get in at least 30 minutes.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I never learned anything by formally practicing exercises or anything like that. Just try to play and _sing_ for a few minutes each day.

[@blainechappell5383]

@@CliftonHicksbanjo that's exactly to what I'm referring. Practicing and singing old songs you already know, and songs you're learning. After 7 months, learning new songs is coming easier and quicker. I'm staying to be able to do it by ear rather than rely on tab and note. Which feels great.

[@adamp3223]

Now what the hell do you suppose they were thinking? I mean who on Earth puts more lyrics over what's obviously an instrumental breakdown? It must have been truly awful.

[@polishbanjodad]

When asked about racism Morgan Freeman he said that beat way to get past it was to stop talking about it.

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

What D chord is that? It doesn’t look like anything I googled for G tuning.

[@CharlieDavis-ww4zf]

It's a D5 a compromise between D and Dm - or a power chord if you think that way.

Went and looked up the verse lyrics and not only are they racist AF they're also rapey AF jeeeeez Edit: the chorus is good though cuz it's basically black women defending themselves
