I tried to play over the neck today, in order to cluck.

My banjo is unscooped, with a low action.
So I tried to raise the action by raising the bridge with a "beermate" (a "coaster"?) - talkin' about homemade solutions .
It is just to try anyway, not for the tone!

So, I think I'm catching the cluck:

I need to work a lot to improve this, but I'm happy

Even the blind squirrel finds an occasional nut, I found a banjo!!!

Yep--you've got a "cluck" going--listen especially to the third brush in your clip--you can hear the harmonics chiming in*

Cheers,

That sounds great! Especially on that Deadwood revival song we discussed on a previous post a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the kind words!

BAZ: This tune came in naturally for the clucking test, as I think Jason Mogi clucks a lot - and a simple tune.

I can but hope that someday my French will be 1/100th as good as your English! Tu écris l'anglais très bien, en fait. Je n'arrive pas du tout d'écrire on français!

Cheers,

Not bad at all!

This is why I love the hangout! Living in pre-internet isolation for so many years, I had never heard the term clucking.

Now I realize I've been CLUCKING all these years and not just clucking around! :-)

Man you can cluck and speak French, two of the things that I am working on. The clucking sounds great.

Do you have to play over the neck to get the cluck? Does it have to have those harmonics to be a cluck?

Well, I can't take any credit for the French - but still workin on the cluck!
Hey I see you live in St-Etienne! Hope you won't become on ASSE fan, that is something unbearable for someone who lives in Lyon and is an Olympique Lyonnais fan

I still know little about cluckin, but I think you do have to play over the neck: the cluck is the sound of the harmonics produced by playing above the 19th fret.

Well, Deadwood Revival is a band, it's not related to the HBO Tv serie (though I like Hbo's Deadwood too!)
The thread we're talking about was in the "Tablature request" topic, search for "Bound to Go", wich is the song title.
