Im practicing the second part of folsom prison blues… i dont have any lesson about it. Im trying to find the notes by my self… but its not so easy… i think that will be my own version… not correct, but its my own thing…

[Severin]

Awesome @scott_wilson!

[Severin]

Love that @Archie!

[Simone]

i think that will be my own version

That’s awesome! You’re playing by ear and making it your own, Looking forward to it!

[scott_wilson]

Yeah I don’t remember when I got it but I’ve been working off the tab also.

[scott_wilson]

Thank you!

[scott_wilson]

Thank you I’ve been working off the tab for that. I’m not quite there yet on the banjo.

So, @scott_wilson joined the party, @Severin on the line, who else?!

I’ve been trying to learn a break for some bluegrass “standards.” The songs that always seem to come up at a jam. For the past few practice sessions, it’s been Blue Ridge Cabin Home. I do wish Banjo Ben had a lesson on “Overcoming Banjo Face.”

I do wish Banjo Ben had a lesson on “Overcoming Banjo Face.”

Why you think my performance vids are from the shoulders down?!

[Shad]

I’m taking this advice for next video!

[Severin]

Sounds great! @Shad!

Sounding great! Thanks for posting! Don’t be shy now… we’d love to see more! Oh, and love the pup chilling out on the couch!
Don’t worry about Banjo Face, I’m here to tell ya there’s definitely Mando Face as well… (the husband FREQUENTLY asks me whats wrong with me when I play, haha!) Usually rears it’s odd face during breaks but not backup. Good thing we play backup 95% of the time !

[Severin]

It’s also not easy for me to post something that isn’t good enough… But here is my entry with my idea for folsom prison blues. I learn the second part by ear. it is clear to me that this does not correspond to the original, it just serves to get me further in my banjo playing if I can learn something myself without a lesson… the whole thing is just an idea, but not finished yet…

[Mason_Crone]

Great job! That’s a good looking Deering too.

[Severin]

Thank you @Mason_Crone! Yes, i love the sierra…

More than your practice play, I liked those facial expressions, @Shad & @Severin!

[Simone]

@Severin
Absolutely loved your version! The whole thing sounded very good! Great job figuring parts out on your own by ear !

it just serves to get me further in my banjo playing

It definitely does!

And the faces? AWESOME, haha! Thanks for posting. We’d love to see another one if you get the chance!
