Great multi instrument entry Grace. Perhaps @BanjoBen might consider adding an extra prize for such a special effort. No pressure Ben

Here’s my (sloppy) entry. Even this simple tune exposes a weakness in my right hand and wrist! One take!

To anyone still working on this, I used one of Ben’s backing tracks and made a perfect loop track to practice with.
Just click on that link and then click the Download button at the bottom left.
You have to use a media player that doesn’t pause at the end of a song for the loop to sound right. I use Audacity, which you can get here for free.

In Audacity, Shift + Space Bar is the shortcut to play a track on repeat. Also, you can click on Effect in the top menu, then click “Change Tempo…” to slow it down.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi Ben, here’s my entry, it’s not perfect, but I had fun learning the advanced version.

Great job, y’all! I want to reiterate that to receive 2 entries, you need to submit two versions of Old Joe Clark, one being my advanced version, in the same video. This is stated in the rules above. I have a couple video entries submitting only my advanced solo, which is good for one entry only. Thanks!

Here is my video, thanks! I’ve got work to do, but it sure is fun! I had been switching positions instead of using my pinky for the basic version. Thought I’d try with the pinky even though it seems like a foreign digit! Messed up the run on the second version, but kept this video because I got back on track.
