Thank youJennifer!

[@banjopa]

@tenorbanjo4 Yes, it is an original Vega Oettinger that I purchased on E-Bay 7 or 8 years ago. They are quite a bit heavier than the B&D ones. The banjo was my fathers, it was a Vega Professional that I hand engraved and had gold plated. Refinished it too.

[@banjopa]

Thanks Tony!

[@perfetti7]

Sweet! Thanks. :)

[@banjopa]

Thanks again Jennifer! Do you have any videos?

That Vega is absolutely something else!!! Is it the Vega Deluxe? Saw you play it in another live show video and the sound was magic!! I play a 1926 Vega Soloist....think I want a Vegavox custom... Tyler Jackson plays a beautiful 1933 Vegavox Steve, you should have a listen to it on KZbin..the tone is ridiculous... Keep it up homie!! Quality!

[@VinniePaah]

By the way, Steve if you care to answer this question, what is the best place to start learning this particular style of the tenor banjo? There is plenty of learning material on BlueGrass banjo, still a lot on clawhammer, a few books on OldTime whatever that is but not much on tenor chord-melody.

[@banjopa]

Sorry I missed your question! Just noticed it. I am a tenor banjo teacher. I teach what I play and how to learn the best techniques to get out of the banjo what you want to play. My email is: [e-mail] if you are interested.

[@MrRandomman123]

Is it possible to get an arrangement for this song?

[@mirandamorris4046]

This is great! Do you have any tips for playing Dixieland tunes on a 5-string bluegrass style banjo? Would you recommend tuning the strings differently? I want to learn this style but all the videos I'm finding use a four-string and I'm not sure that they're tuned the same as my 5-string

[@banjopa]

Hi Miranda, The style is primarily 4 string banjo, but you can use a pick on your 5 string to emulate the strums. No need to tune differently. Your tuning is close to a plectrum style 4 string bano. Look up some plectrum banjo players and watch what they do.

[@tenorbanjo4]

That's so nice ! Is your Vega fitted wit an Oettinger Tailpiece ?

[@MrMKH2010]

So that's how it's done ;)

[@whiteknifespeaks]

Sounds great! What is the tuning?

[@goal-goal-goalllllll]

Really great video, you really get some great sounds out of your instrument.!what tuning does your banjo have? Assuming it's not gdae
