Thats one of my favorite tunes to play on guitar, I never gave it more than a thought on banjo. hehe... I love the way you traversed the B section, man thats so nice... Thank you again Laurence, you are a constant inspiration and I get allot of encouragement from your recordings! (Nice rythm too hehe... ) I've always played that in Bb, I immagine that would not be best suited for banjo, what key are you in??

HIKE FASTER I hear a banjo...

The best picker is the one having the most fun.

Thanks Michael - yeah, Bb is also the most logical key on banjo, seeing as the tonal center moves all over the place anyway!! That G 5th string doesn't really get in the way, as it sounds like a 9th, a 6th, a 3rd whatever...

Cheers,
Laurence

Excellent playing as usual, Laurence. You are certainly one of the finest musicians here on the Hangout. I wish I could get into the jazz groove like that. Simply outstanding. Thanks for contributing.

Awesome! Very inspiring.

Thanks Jim, that's a great compliment - not sure it's deserved - but nice to hear, especially from a fine player like yourself!

I wanted to try this tune, but then at the end I realized that you can't play it without Scruggs tuners. Nice touch.

Seriously, very nice job on a great tune.

Haha! Actually Sal, that final bend I am doing with my fingers - I fret the 4th string and bend the 3rd down towards the floor.

Loved it, maybe in my second life I'll play like that.........

I'd love to learn that chord progression on my guitar.

Terry - you shouldn't wait that long
You can probably find a chord chart out on the web, or I could probably write them out for you if you can't find them.

Spectacularly fluent jazz on the five string banjo.
Not easy.
Very nice.

I was just going to let this thread die, but I like watching it go up in flames...
Anyway, thanks so much everyone for all your nice comments and encouragement!
So I am moving on now to work on my "Holiday Special" - you all working on yours?

Sounds great on banjo Lawrence.
That's the tune Bird liked to scare everybody with. Guess it still works.
