I'm a clawhammer player, but lately I've been obsessed with Charlie Poole, Frank Jenkins, and Pete Peterson's banjo playing. Now I just worked up this arrangement yesterday and recorded today so it's definately a little rough and slow, but isn't it a pretty banjo tune? Gotta love the old-time three finger!

sounds great man! I don't think it sounds slow. I think the tempo is perfect, no more speed required!

Wow, Isaac! That sounds great. Is that in F#DF#AD tuning? I can't believe that in all these years, I've never really dug into 2- and 3-finger picking in earnest. I love it, and I've messed around with it a bit on and off, but maybe you'll inspire (or shame) me into getting off my butt and working on it! Keep it up; you've got a great ear and a great touch!

Ha I don't care if you just laid it out the day before you recorded it, there's no way you can call that rough and slow. That's a great little song man, it's got some nice old old sounding little turns in it, and it's a gem. Keep up the good work.

Very very nice!
I would love to learn some finger picking, but boy is it ever tough!

Sounds good, Isaac. I've found that the key to this tune is to engage the part of your brain that's still a reptile. The second I find myself thinking about the rols (especially on the B part) - it's gone!

Very nice tempo. Takes you up and reminds me of walking on clouds. Great job.

Nice work! I really like that a lot. That tune sounds like it might have somewhat of a relationship to Spanish Fandango.
