Happy New Year to you as well. The more the picking, the better the year will be!

Hey - Thanks Eddie for the history and lesson. Happy Christmas & a happy New Year!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thank you too, Michael, Happy Holidays!

Thanks, Eddie!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thanks Craig, I hope you can put some of those to use!

Thanks for putting this together. He sure had some wonderful licks. Have you seen Ron Block's detailed tabs of many JD songs? It's a great resource. I learned Philadelphia Lawyer, from Bluegrass Holiday, and it has a cool and unique lick at the ending of the solo that I've not heard him play elsewhere. Also, he has some very cool licks on Roving Gambler. Thanks!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Right, Ron Block has really done his homework on JD, as well as pickers like Terry Baucom, Scott Vestal and others who've developed that solid right hand.

This is what you call a real man right here ladies.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

The creator, or JD? (:

[@mikebastiat]

@@EddieCollinsMusic You. A real man.

[@genekinde1193]

Very nice licks Eddie. More for me to work on. Anchor ring finger and pinky?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

What would J D say?

[@VinceKinney-pi4mp]

What year is that RB 250 , it’s sounds great

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

1971, but with a Huber tone ring, which gives it more clarity and pop.

Why is your thumb moving so much..like it's do nervous?

[@louiswiley6121]

Hi Eddie: I am a beginner banjo enthusiast. I am learning, trying to, the song, My old Kentucky home. I have the tab I wonder could you play it in a video? I'd sure appreciate it. Louis

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Hi Louis, always appreciate the requests. I haven't really done much with that song. Look up Jack Hatfield. I know he has it in his book and may have a recording he can share with you.

[@louiswiley6121]

@@EddieCollinsMusic Thanks Eddie. I guess you started playing very young. I sure enjoy your videos, thanks again.

[@genekinde1193]

According to JD, double anchor is how we do it!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yes, it'll give you more of the driving bluegrass sound. Realize everyone's hand is wired differently, so we try what the greats do, but sometimes have to settle on what actually works for us.

[@genekinde1193]

@@EddieCollinsMusic I guess I will have to give that a try and see how it feels. Thanks! Happy Halloween
