Instead of a flatpick I use plastic fingerpicks on thumb and first finger. After experimenting with different tunings, I like to keep this beast tuned GDAE, two octaves below fiddle. On this piece I’m capoed at the fifth fret, putting me the cello range with the fourth string tuned an octave below the second, for a drone. The equivalent tuning in fiddle/mandolin/Irish tenor banjo range is ADAE. The 4-string cello banjo I’m playing is made by Gold Tone, a CEB-4. Marcy Marxer is responsible for igniting the interest that brought cello banjos back into existence, after they had gone done the black hole of (almost) extinction for an amazing number of years. I’m grateful for their reemergence, since both the 4 and 5-string cello banjos are important to maintaining my musical equilibrium. They’re also responsible for my current relationship with Gold Tone as an independent product specialist and dealer - something I had previously never imagined myself getting into. On my website, http://www.banjocrazy.com, I have an interview with Marcy Marxer, entitled, Cello Banjo Pioneer http://www.banjocrazy.com/articles/armarcy2.shtml I hope you enjoy the tune.

Bill is a great singer,songwriter and this is one of his best I think. I'm on comping banjo, guitar,baritone and tenor banjo parts and the lead banjo is played with bare fingers and a mute. Some reverbs, volume edits,panning and EQing. Done on Audition. Another great tune from the 70's. Bill is a great singer,songwriter and this is one of his best I think.

The piece is called 2 Worlds because you find stylistic elements of bluegrass and classical music. Basically my picking here is a kind of melodic style picking but there are also some Fleck like picking patterns in the backup for the violin. As usual both parts are played by myself. Tab and lead sheet of the violin is ready for email. Picked on the HUBER BANJO.
