Terrific lesson. I really enjoy your playing, Hillarie. Thank you!

Playing up here in the Appalachian Mountains of New England. I’ve been practicing sawmill tunes for about 5 years and Ive got to know some of the classics pretty well. The Coo Coo, Cluck Old Hen, Kitchen Girl, Pretty Polly, Shady Grove, etc., but just decided to try a new one. So glad to have found your tutorial for Little Sadie. Such a beautiful tune. Really showcases what makes sawmill tuning so hauntingly special. With your lesson I’ve got it down in about 5 minutes.

I'm really getting a sense of how to incorporate the "cluck" by listening to your playing. Thanks so much for sharing these lessons. I've started to put up a few for the beginning clawhammer player, and hope people find them as helpful as I've found yours! Thanks.

Thanks so much for all the detail in the verbiage, technique and all that is wonderful about the banjo. Also, thanks for taking your time.

I am not Todd, but my buddy said "We should learn Little Sadie." I says "ok" and here I am...I found this video very helpful as i was able to play the tune pretty well in 10 minutes, so thank you.

Thanks for sharing your banjo playing. Great playing and teaching

[@josephgarrahan9945]

i have had a banjo for about 10 years sitting in my closet. You've inspired me to take it out and learn how to play. You made a great song seem very accessible and learnable. I'll keep you posted. I'd send you some corn muffins a just baked but youtube hasn't got that advanced yet
