I kicked the volume up a tad more and started the mandolin chop a little further in so the timing is a little better.

Not exactly like Tom Adams plays it. I had to change some fingering to make it easier for me to learn it. I have always wanted to learn this tune so I've been working on it now for about a week. I put a guitar and bass track in it to hide my goof ups.

I love this song and though I can't sing it or play it that well, I wanted to try out a new curly ambrosia red maple bridge. I just purchased this wood and so far I love it. I love these low tunings.

This version has thunder through out the song....though not very pronounced. I haven't figured out how to import an mp3 into Reaper yet.

I thought I'd record this tune and mess around with some effects in Adobe Audition. I'm playing my mahogany style 3 copy banjo on this cut.

Thanks to Rock and Jim Reed for the inspiration to learn this tune. Both of their pre war banjos are to die for...especially in D tuning. Their playing abilities are to die for as well. Jim's recording on his cd sounds just like Sammy Shelor with his RB12.

My first attempt at melodic playing. It's painfully slow and has mistakes but I'll keep pluckin' along until I can build up speed.

This recording is showcasing a new bridge wood. It is hard maple from the foot peddles off of a 1970's Wurlitzer organ. My good friend Y.Z. Newberry sent it to me about a week ago. Really nice bridge wood.

Sometimes it's fun to mess around with some effects on certain songs so I added a little reverb and stereo expander to this one. Be aware that the volume is louder on this one. You may have to adjust your volume level on your speakers.

I have no clue as to why the timing jumped in the second verse but I wasn't going to go back and re-do it all for that...LOL. Multitracking is hard for this old boy.

Here's another great tune that Jim Mills has on his Bound To Ride cd. It's still a work in progress. I think I need to slow down a bit to get it cleaner.

I wish I could have played some mandolin or resophonic guitar on this but I can barely play guitar. A favorite Blue Highway song on their "Through The Window of a Train" cd.

I wanted to post something using one of my red maple bridges. Here it is...flubs and all. After so many takes I gave up and decided this was it for now. The other version of this was also a red maple bridge but different banjo.

This is my cover of a cool tune written by Todd Taylor. I kicked the tempo up just a little and I'm not playing it note for note as in the tab. After listening to Luke's video of the tune here on the Sound Off forum , he inspired me to learn it. I'm playing both maple and mahogany banjos on the harmony parts along with guitar, mandolin chop (for rhythm), and a keyboard bass track.....I'm not a bass player. Not the best recording but it is a fun tune to play.

Here's a short clip of Standing in the need of prayer with the Yates fat boy rim under the RK no hole ring. It's been in the banjo about a week now. No effects in this recording. I used my Son's Tascam DR-40 with a phantom powered mic. I'm using a red maple .656" bridge. This rim and flange came from my friend John Wheat.
