Scott, That is my 16 yr old son who is a serious student of the war between the states. That flag was a gift and has hung there for 2 - 3 years. It wasn't an issue until it was made one recently by people who are ignorant and/or too lazy to study the facts of that conflict. I'm growing weary of comments like yours which stem from radical left wing news media bias, willful ignorance of the facts, and a determination to create conflict where there is none. This is simply where he happened to be sitting when I decided to grab a quick video of what I thought was a pretty cool rendition of that song. Long story short, if we lost you at the backdrop, that is fine with us. There were no political statements made or intended. I'd appreciate it if you would not try to create one.
Jeremy Gibson, Josiah said that yes, this is plain old G tuning. He thanks you very much for your kind comments! Also, of course, feel free to figure it out. He said that, when you improve on it, he may try to figure yours out! Lol!! Thanks again!!
Awesome, I watched this a couple of years ago, then today I was watching some stuff by Kody norris and found your channel and rediscovered this video, sweet!
Gary I had learned this in sawmill tuning, but I think you playing it in plain ole G tuning. hope you don't mind if I try to figure your version out. The 3rd string bends make it so cool. Awesome job!!!
+hypermegasphere I am sorry, I don't. I have to admit, if I had tablature, I couldn't read it myself! Lol! I basically play by ear. I wish I could help more! My Dad really wants me to start making some short teaching videos. In the near future, I hope to do a short, informal video with this tune slowed down and with close ups as to how I play it. I don't consider myself a teacher, but I would love to help if I can. I will reply to your comment with a link when I get it done.
+Josiah Tyree No problem - I'm slowly working towards learning tunes by ear, but I'm still using tabs to fill in the gaps. I'll just have to listen some more ;) You've got a really nice technique, keep playing those great tunes.
Good job, Josiah. But, please, take down that flag....the war is over. It would be a more peaceful world without those reminders around. Peace to you, brother.
That's my son. He was 15 when I shot this video. While I appreciate your compliment on his playing, have the sense to understand that this was not a political statement, just a simple video of a great old banjo tune. This flag was a gift and had hung on his wall in his room for quite some time. So in response to your flag comment, and your obvious insinuation of a planned motive for displaying it, that flag is part of our American history (a fact which, whether you like this or not, we simply are not at all concerned) in regards to a conflict that you obviously know little to nothing about. So enjoy the tune, which we hope you do, but keep your peripheral comments to yourself. If you can't do that, we invite you to display your ignorance somewhere else and go away.
@@GarryTyree Sir, I DO know a lot about what that flag represents. I was born and raised in the deep South.Through the 60s, I watched my fellow lazy and ignorant white brothers continuing to cause havoc 100 years later. Ignorant and disgusting behavior, and their legacy continues into this present political toil. That flag is now displayed nation/worldwide through your video...not just his bedroom. With that, you have now opened up yourselves to all comments and opinions from your audiences.
+Scott Rogers try this one dear Scott, piss off. And if that was a little to harsh, piss off again. This is America and you don't have to make a statement about everything. SO for this ole southern white boy, piss off again.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Stanley would approve, that's some killer frailing.
This is amazing

+Garry Tyree It is a great rendition of the song. He's a fine player... best of luck to him.
@Garry Tyree I totally agree with what you said.
"WORD" ! Liberals live in a world of constant conflict and if there isn't one, they'll soon create one.
Jeremy Gibson, Josiah said that yes, this is plain old G tuning. He thanks you very much for your kind comments! Also, of course, feel free to figure it out. He said that, when you improve on it, he may try to figure yours out! Lol!! Thanks again!!
Incredible
Damn that is some good pickin
Awesome, I watched this a couple of years ago, then today I was watching some stuff by Kody norris and found your channel and rediscovered this video, sweet!
Wonderful.
Fantastic
God bless Dixie and let our culture never die! Never falter ! AMEN.
Wow! That's absolutely brilliant! So much cleaner and more precise than I can play it!
You mind if I ask what tuning you're playing in?
Haven’t seen this video, another great clawhammer rendition of a Scruggs tune
Ralph Stanley wrote that I believe.
doubt I will improve on it but after about 2 hours I'm starting to get the a part like he is doing it lol
Pretty impressive!
Oh hell yeah!

Ive been watching this at .25 speed trying to figure it out for a full month. 1,000 of this videos views are probably me
Uh yessir
hypermegasphere,
Thank u for the kind words. It is a simple open G tuning.
okay, I admit I cannot work out the syncopation and bends you're doing! Do you have a tablature for this? It would help me immensely!
+hypermegasphere I am sorry, I don't. I have to admit, if I had tablature, I couldn't read it myself! Lol! I basically play by ear. I wish I could help more!

Gary,
So this is your son? Please pass my earlier comment along to him.
damn dude turn off god mode this aint even fair

So is Vietnam but I’ll fly the Stars and Stripes proudly. Nothing wrong with a southern boy flying his battle flag
Can the racist flag. Good banjo.
Learn our history before you open your mouth in ignorance. Keep your stupidity to yourself.
You lost me when I saw your backdrop choice.
+Scott Rogers try this one dear Scott, piss off. And if that was a little to harsh, piss off again. This is America and you don't have to make a statement about everything. SO for this ole southern white boy, piss off again.
+packdaddy07 Have a nice day.
Yes packdaddy07 it's America so why fly the flag that is associated with an attempt to destroy America?
@@kenhaze5230 if only the south would have won, wouldn't be in the sad and sorry state you are in today.
