Thank you again. Well, it would be great if I could play any song LOL, but I simple apply my knowledge of basic music theory to any song that interests me and I go about creating a rendition. I don’t know were the original idea for this song came from. I am not familiar with any of Mr. Horton’s other material. Enjoy.

It seems there is no Song you Can’t play.Your music is so versatile.I Know this song from Mr. Horton but this banjo version is absolutly great.I wonder,the melody is taken for an song in the 70’s.Or am i wrong?Thanks for your wonderful music.

I would disagree. It is certainly not a high end banjo, but mine as you can see and hear, plays great. If you don’t want to worry about taking an instrument along on a trip, being rather inexpensive, it is perfect for camping or for hanging out jamming at festivals or shows. Thank you for comment. Enjoy.

Thank you for your comment. I guess I must have a very old soul. When I play, I usually remember the words by imagining the story as I sing. So in a way, I am really there. Enjoy.

You are great. You really seem to take on the persona of the era when you play, and you play and sing so well.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I am still experimenting with the methods to play and jiggle at the same time. LOL I need to attach a strap because playing it in the standing position and dancing works. OMG now I got to learn how to dance too! LOL I am also working on a percussive approach, kind of like, Bukka White’s Slap the Baby Lick. I will eventually post. This banjo is also available without jingles. Enjoy.

Thank you for your comment and suggestion. I have videos posted playing slide while playing banjitar. To get the correct string tension for the slide, it is necessary to match the tuning with the string gauge. Currently, this banjo has light strings that makes it perfect for fretting with my fingers, but not that great to get a good tone with the slide. But yes I agree with you, it is a great sound. Enjoy.

Thank you Jeon Leon for your comment. I enjoying playing banjo from time to time. Considering the fingering is the same as the guitar using open tunings, the real experimentation for me comes in with that high drone string and the difference in the picking patterns. Of course, how can you beat that unique tone from the skin and pot. Enjoy.
