Was driving through Appalachia the other day coming back from vacation in NC pretty sure i saw old leatherstocking peering out from behind a tree in the holler 💀 👍
This is my favorite banjo tune. I injured my hand and fingers building my own banjo recently and while I was in the hospital getting it stitched back together I couldn’t get this song out of my head and when my hand heals fully I’m definitely gonna learn it with your lesson videos so thanks Mr Hicks.
Make this like a 10-hour video. Like a loop or something I could listen to this all day. While I drive forklift at work while I walk down the street to the store.... anything it's so calming and relaxing
I feel inspired to try a banjo but don't know anyone who plays. A couple of years ago I went on a jag and listened to Lost Dog Street Band and various others that the CZcams algorithm suggested, like Abby The Spoon Lady. There are a whole lot of people out there who are amazing players, and yet, here in the heartland, I never see them. The only time I see players like this is if I get tickets to the Battleground Fiddler's Gathering in Indiana, or sometimes in Nashville, TN, busking. I wish I'd had musicians in my family picking at the family dinners. I know music is in my blood, because my mom was a great singer and we loved to listen to the music on NPR's Thistle And Shamrock. We have Scotch Irish in our blood. But I think the chain was broken in the family when my grandmother married my grandfather. His side was decidedly NOT musical, and they can't carry a tune. However, the music passes through the females in my family, and we give the gift to our children. The only instrument I play is the piano, but I had no one to play *with*. I had a friend who had an entire book of duets, and she wanted to play with me but I couldn't read the music. I could only play from memorization. I feel like I lost a bit of myself by not having a musical mentor growing up, through all the upheaval of my parents' divorce, and the poverty that came from that.
@@CliftonHicksbanjo Oh mate, please do another video of it! As the saying goes "I come from a land down under"! Bonus points for a tab also. Thanks Cliff, you the man!

Wishing you a speedy recovery. 👍
Mine too. It's what convinced me to buy a banjo a year ago. Haven't put it down for a day since.
I could listen to this on a loop forever.
Steel strings! I thought you'd given that filthy habit up!!

Flawless brother....flying and flawless. 🧙♂️

Awesome!
Love the song! Fantastic tutorial brother! Thank you
Thought I'd gotten this from your previous tutorial BUT I prefer this finger and thumb version to the down stroke version, sounds more "honest"
Nice performance friend, sounds great!
To my cousin tobias who died 3 weeks ago
Is this a good tune to learn for the first one?
Yes, it's pretty simple. Tab available at Patreon.com/CliftonHicks
