Also known as "Bill Cheathum." Or "Bill Cheatam." Or "Bill Cheatham." (All of these spellings seem to be equally popular.) I can see why this tune has been around for so long it's a fun one to play! gDGBD tuning. December 2024.

Snowdrop | Clawhammer Banjo

Whenever the weather gets cold, I get the urge to play this one (for obvious reasons). I have heard it described as "the banjo song that even banjo-haters like." It think it's the simple beauty of the opening melody. There are lots of versions of this tune, but my favorite is by Lukas Pool, so this is heavily based on his. gCGCD tuning. November 2024.

It's finally starting to feel like fall around here, so this one seemed appropriate. I'm playing my newly-acquired Pisgah Laydie banjo here (aka "Blondie"). gDGBD tuning. October 2024.

Old Joe Clark | Gourd Banjo

I made this fretless gourd banjo during the great lockdown of 2020. I had no idea what I was doing, and had a very limited skill-set (and tool-set) to pull from, but I managed to make something playable! I started reading a book about the history of the banjo this summer “Well of Souls” by Kristina R. Gaddy (highly recommended, if you’re into such things). It's made me want to take "Gourdy" dow...

My version of "Landslide." Maybe a little too much "groove" for a sad ballad, but it's fun to play it this way. July 2024. gDGBD tuning.

Can't Fight This Feeling (Instrumental) | Clawhammer Banjo
Wow ! Excellent rendition.
Loved it!
Way to go Adeline! Love your clucking! Looking forward to jamming with you soon.
Thank you! We'll all get together and play again soon!
Lovely ❤
Very nice! Man, its so tough to frail over non scooped frets, you and Chris Coole i see doing it. Did that goodtime come like that.. Or you mod it?
Thank you! I learned to frail on a series of non-scooped banjos, so I guess I'm just used to it. A scoop does make it easier though! No mods to this banjo, other than the decals on the head. This is a goodtime special. (I don't think Deering sells them anymore.)
Nice. What model of Pisgah is your banjo? I have a Tubaphone. They make really good banjos.
Thank you! They do make really nice stuff. I met Patrick this fall and tried at least 6 of their models. This was the one I had the hardest time putting down. It's their Whyte Laydie.
Thank you! 🙏
great job!
Beautiful stuff, man
Very good!
Great timing and crisp plucking
Very good sound and picking of course......from old time framus banjo
Beautiful played 😊
Great stuff man
Sounding great man! Love the shirt too, you know how to play any spongebob songs? :)
Pretty arrangement! Congrats on your Pisgah, too! 😁
Nice playing
Enjoying this on a cold and frosty morning. Cheers to you
Thank you for coloring my YT scroll with some good ole fashioned pickin'‼️👏🏽
wonderful love it
Very nice‼️👏🏽 thank you for sharing this 🎶🫶🏽
Keep it up little lady, you’re doing fine.
Neat 😁👏🏽🎼
Bravo 👏🏽 ‼️keep playing‼️You’re a very talented duo 😁🫶🏽💙🎶
I got my fiddle out and played along with you.
This is wonderful playing - I checked out the Taylor Swift song and found it unlistenable, I keep attempting to like her music, but not to my taste.
👏👏👏
brilliant
I've played this song many times when jamming with a contra dance group of musicians. I never got to it when I picked up clawhammer banjo. It's a perfect clawhammer song.
🤩
Nuff said
I love your arrangement! That has got to be one of the prettiest triple time clawhammer tunes I've heard!
Beautiful!
This has such a strong Appalachian vibe to it.
It's popular for contra dances, which has Appalachian roots.
@@edwardhanson3664 I've never heard of those.
Very nicely done! Can you talk about why you chose that tuning?
Thanks! In my experience, everyone plays this tune in the key of D. While I could have played it in whatever key I wanted for a solo video, I don't like having too many different versions of tunes bouncing around in my head. Double-C tuning/capo 2 is the way most clawhammer players approach D tunes. It gives you more key-appropriate open strings to ring out--a big part of the clawhammer sound!
Little girl got that cluck down as well as any hen can do.
Oldtime is good in family ....bravo from France of oldtime banjo picker
😊😊😊😊
Awesome; my oldest daughter (5) and wife just started taking fiddle lessons. I am looking forward to family jams in the future.
Nicely done!!
Yeah! Shuffle on off to Oklahoma!
Great Job. I'm just starting out and you inspire me to keep trying.
just gorgeous brother
Super. I'm inspired. Thank you.❤
Beautiful! <3
Lovely, thank you

Really really nice! You caught it in all of its gentle crookedness! Bravo!
