I did a quick facebook post a day or so after I posted here. I think we started with around 50 sets and they moved well. I haven’t run the math to see how rich I got, but I think I can take my profits and go buy a couple sets of Elixirs. Hahaha

When they’re gone, they’re gone.

That Banjo Ben sure pops up everywhere

Was that an episode of He Haw???

BanjoBen · February 9, 2018, 3:46am

This was part of a pilot show for a comedy variety show I wrote with a guy…it was during the recession and we couldn’t get any major sponsors to let go of cash. It was funny, too…oh well.

I would have paid to watch it. I’m sure it’s a lot better than whatever is on tv these days!

Bob · February 9, 2018, 5:29am

He sure does! But wait, there’s more! LMAO!

Archie · February 9, 2018, 10:18am

Hi Bob. Yes I 've been doing a little research of my own, I keep pressing @BanjoBen to BRING BACK THE HUMOUR to banjobenclark.com I need a daily chuckle. Like my cupa joe it sets me up fur my banjo lesson.

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are!

Maybe it’s time to re-pitch it to NetFlix. Seems like they’re buying up almost anything these days. These examples are way better than most of the stuff on NetFlix right now.

Wow! I wanna learn that melodic run towards the end of foggy mountain breakdown. Gimme gimme gimme

Mark_Rocka · January 13, 2019, 1:07pm

I just listened to what you were talking about and thought “yeah, that’s cool!” Then I listened to it a few more times. @BanjoBen, that’s also the ending lick on Dancin’ On My Grave, isn’t it? I almost didn’t recognize it because you’re playing it so fast here.

Mark_Rocka · January 13, 2019, 2:00pm

See if this helps.

Thanks Mark. Wow that’s all over the neck. Will have a shot at learning it. Will post a video in 10 years when I’ve mastered it lol

Mark_Rocka · January 13, 2019, 2:01pm

Yeah, that’s a tough one for sure. I just realized that I forgot to put the fingering in the TEF file. I just replaced it, so you can download it again if you need the right hand fingering.

Also, if you want to see Ben playing this run (although he’s playing it in B here) check out 3:05 in this video.

Jono · January 13, 2019, 2:26pm

Thanks Mark that’s great! Many thanks.

Jono · January 13, 2019, 2:29pm

Archie · January 13, 2019, 2:37pm
