Here's a link to the course packet that I made for that banjo class. It includes a syllabus, lyrics, and tabs for this song an several others.

On all of CZcams there is no one else as in depth at Seeger playing then you Colin! I've had others ask me how I learned to do it and told them about your video instructions here. So hopefully you picked up some subscribers.
Very nice, straight-forward version, a favorite of us old folkies.
What a lucky day! At last I found what I was looking for now for more than one year - someone who teaches the good old Pete-Seeger-Style here on youtube! Thanks a million - you made my day and also the next months - while practicing .... Best wishes from Germany.
FWIW, Hedy adapted this song from an old one she learned from her grandmother Lily Mulkey West who lived in Union County, Ga. Granny West was a 2-finger banjo picker in the N. Ga. style and taught Hedy many songs and tunes.
THANKS, with all the info provided I,m sure I can work it out. YOU'RE A GREAT TEACHER
‘Outstanding performance of a tune I’ve always loved.
Colin Bazsali I love your voice and playing style. I have played guitar for 20 years now and I know in learning the banjo each player is really themselves. You sound as you and know one can copy your sound as a musican and that is why I love the banjo over the guitar these days cause it sort of takes you as you are and matches itself to your style and personality it is a beautful instrument to me honestly. While reading Tom Brigg's 1855 Instruction Book I was interested to learn that our banjos today are basically the same as his minus of course ours are alot louder then his. Keep on playing and teaching you have a real gift sir.
I still watch all of these videos Colin, I just enjoy your performances (Even though CZcams keeps unsubscribing me!) In fact, with how great you are at teaching I can play along with you and have a ton of fun and it's great practice.
love your classes Colin. You obviously enjoy presenting them. I have been practicing scruggs style on and off for 4 years now and want to make the crossover to clawhammer because it seems better if you want to sing along to, which I do. I don't want to have to concentrate on so many little picks which seems to take up so much of my concentration, with none left for the singing. practising the bum T each day but reach a certain speed and then seem to lose it each time. I'll keep it up. Keep posting. great stuff.
I know it wasn't the intent, at all, but the combination of your nerdy appearance, singing Hedy West and clawhammering is incredibly hot! Hah
Slick picking.
Why is your capo at the 5th fret? Is that because it is a long neck banjo? I see in your instructions (capo 2) presuming that is for a standard banjo in C tuning. Is that correct?
Really appreciate all these videos. Any chance you could you post tabs for this?
This is great thanks! What would the tuning look like on a regular banjo? is it double d?
What brand/model long neck do you play? I'm in the market for my first long neck and just curious about what's out there as far as vintage models go.
Could you post some tab for what you're playing during the verses when you get to the F chord? I can't seem to get it.
Is your banjo course book available?
