Howya folks,
Just wanted to share my new recording of some traditional Irish tunes (and a couple of originals), with particular focus on jigs.
I've been using the drop thumb style in aDADe tuning (though avoiding the 5th string to allow for switching keys in sets).
It's called drop-thumb trad and I hope it finds its way to some happy ears.

Excellent!
Thank you for sharing.

Drop-thumb lead, (6/8) time !?

Great playing! I find that jigs and rags are hardest to get the correct rhythm on so i applaud your masterful touch.

A truly lovely album, showcasing how gorgeousness a banjo can sound, in the hands of a highly gifted and sensitive musician. Your wife's contributions on fiddle add a wonderful touch of sweetness.
