Really enjoyed that. Keep them coming.

[@michaelmeade]

Thanks very much! I must try and record another set for the channel soon!

[@wiggsan]

Fantastic!! I like the way you have you banjo mic'd. Nice bassy tone without losing the high tones.

[@michaelmeade]

Just the zoom h4 and garage band! I have new mics and logic pro that I must get using now!

[@MW-zd5gn]

Lovely!

[@michaelmeade]

Thank you!

[@seamusnolan4083]

Nice style, dave makes a nicer banjo

[@michaelmeade]

I agree, he made some amazing instruments!

[@paulkinsella1137]

Lovely playing.

[@michaelmeade]

Thanks Paul!

[@danny4bullits]

Superb stuff Michael. This is one of my favourite tunes to play even if it is a bit a handful! Lovely sound off your banjo there too. 👍

[@vernylee]

Nice version of the brimmer different to mine...i may have to pinch it 1🤣🤣

[@michaelmeade]

Thanks. Go for it!

[@TheAnonymousPunter]

That was unreal man. Class playing. Came here for the Kylebrack Rambler but I'm defo learning that second tune too!

[@TheAnonymousPunter]

Could you tell me the version of the second tune you're playing ? cheers

[@gabrielsamarine755]

@@TheAnonymousPunter Did you ever find the second version?!

[@TheAnonymousPunter]

@@gabrielsamarine755 nope I didn’t, I just learned a different version. I think his banjo is tuned differently than GDAE though.

[@gabrielsamarine755]

@@TheAnonymousPunter Yes it would seem so! Thanks anyway

[@malsaul189]

Michael, can't stop watching this vid... lovely playing and combination of tunes.. Where can I get the tabs for both? Thanks.

[@michaelmeade]

Thanks very much! I don't read music so I wouldn't know anything about tabs! I learned them from sessions!

[@ciarandebhal]

Wow. Sublime playing and 2 great tunes. Record more please. The tone from that DB is fabulous. Whats your recording set-up you're using? Cheers, Ciaran.

[@michaelmeade]

I loved that DB but sold it last year to Declan Parker. For that recording it was a zoom h4n that you can see on the right, about a foot from the banjo pointing towards the 12th fret. I edited the audio using garage band. Bass boost mainly with a reverb and a little compression and limiter

[@7gorm7]

Great sound, well played....does the banjo have that lovely bass sound when not plugged in? I use to play the banjo and never knew if it was the make of the banjo itself or the amp

[@michaelmeade]

They have good bass with a heavy guage g string

[@christophercarroll3579]

Jesus Christ that first tune...

[@michaelmeade]

It's a powerhouse of a tune for the banjo alright!

[@johntuohy1867]

Crackerjack humdinger dude.
