Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

Here is me playing it "up to speed" - interpretive or off the cuff so to speak as you might jam it.

Here is the banjo tab version of this tune.

I have no idea how to play clawhammer but I did a pretty good enough job.

Tunaday #196 - In Open C tuning (gCGCE).

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 6/8/18, Trouble on My Mind was recorded by Kentucky fiddler John Salyer's sons at home. Salyer never recorded commercially, but was an excellent fiddler. This tune is crooked in the last measure when it repeats and is unusual in having six measures in the A part and eight in the B part.

eBEAE tuning on an early 60s longneck Epiphone. Hang on, it's a bumpy ride!

Tunaday #212 - In Open D tuning with raised 5th (aDF#AD).

Shady Grove

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 6/1/18, with no real title. It may have been collected in Ireland and the title forgotten. The tune has a beautiful emotional quality I like. Thank you, Mary Z Cox for presenting another one of your outstanding repertoire pieces this week.

Tunaday #157 - Per Anita Kermode in Zepp's site, this is "Willie Moore G/D" tuning - gDGAD.

Key of D played on new hand crafted 11" 5 string banjo

Jimmy Johnson is described by Dwight Miller as being a WV tune known elsewhere as John Brown's Dream (also John Harvey's Dream). The two are similar so I put them together. Jimmy Johnson is from Dwight's playing for the Tune of the Week discussion, 5/25/18 and John Brown's Dream comes from Hobart Smith, a past TOTW.

Tunaday #63 - In G minor tuning (gDGA#D).

Played 2-finger, thumb-lead... for Janet!
