@Archie thank you SO MUCH for the list!! I’m working on it. When this is all over I’ll make a YouTube playlist for the Canary Series just for y’all. Thanks for being so supportive! Today’s video.
NICE !!!
Have you done Wheel Hoss? That’s my favorite bluegrass tune. Nice job!
@Flatpickin_Libby We haven’t done Wheel Hoss yet. I’ll see if I can get that learned. Video for today.
Better late than never. Today’s video.
Great job! I love that song!
Super!
@banjoboyk
Grandfather’s Clock song is great! And, in the last few months I’ve now heard versions by Ben, yourself, @Dragonslayer, @Severin, (and one that my sons & I did last week.) I absolutely love to hear the different ways everyone plays them, it gives me ideas ! It’d be cool to line up those videos to be watched one after the other - NOT in a competitive way - but to show the variety played by the folks here. Music is just awesome that way!
Still very much enjoying this series !!
Thanks @Simone! (And everyone else😁) That would be fun to line them up like that! I had planned on using my d-tuners but my banjo wouldn’t stay in tune. 🤷🏻I learned this next one from John Moore. And it’s one of the fastest songs I know. Enjoy Dear Old Dixie.
Constructive Feedback - It was fast! too fast! So fast I couldn’t hear the melody!
Slow down a little let the music breathe, Kaleb. Remember what I said about the spaces between the notes.
Listen to Earl play the melody
Oh! by the way I still think your Brilliant!!!
Hey Archie! I tapped it out on my metronome and we are playing it at exactly the same speed except that (obviously) Earl is cleaner. He has a different attack than I do and a pluckier banjo. Mine is way more mellow and a little harder to distinguish the notes on a faster song. I had also played it 16 billion times trying to get it right and my arm was sore and tired by the time I recorded. 🤷🏻
I notice you pick a little closer to the neck of the banjo, which also creates a more mellow sound. Great job! I enjoy these videos.
What can I say…
Kaleb, did you try practicing at a higher speed (say 20% up) to be able to perform comfortably and cleaner at the desired speed? Just my 2 cents thoughts…
@JohnM no, it was a little fast to be going faster. Unfortunately I have hit a wall. Trying to learn a new song every day (because I’m at the end of what I know/want to play) has become more that I can do with trying to keep up with school and all else that is going on in my family. It has been a fun run and tomorrow we will record our final song. No song tonight. I had a family obligation and the song I was trying to work up just wasn’t coming together. Thanks all for watching and for your input! I/we have recorded 46 songs!
Just as well I was running out of compliments.
Now that you’ve rattled off your list maybe you could go back and revisit those tunes that I said, I felt you played too fast and slow them down a little so this old fart of a fan can better appreciate the melody.
