Brilliant playing, I’m on page 58 of Ken Perlmans book, not started drop thumbing properly yet but I’ve had a tinker and I know the hours of work and repetition that you’ve put in to be able to play as clean and swift as that. Absolutely fantastic, a pleasure to watch.
Great job, I enjoyed the tunes. Your fretwork is fantastic. I admire how can keep your level of concentration up enough to get through all three songs.
@4bumbler I don't use melodic fingering. I've never been able to wrap my head around those, but I certainly love hearing players who can. When I move up the neck, I generally just play out of closed chord shapes.
If you 'add-in' lots of triplet-arpeggios and use open and alternate string pull-offs .... you'll even get that FULL HOUSE - WALL of Celtic-style SOUND.
@sk8er5uk I learned a ton from Ken Perlman's book "Everything You Wanted to Know About Clawhammer Banjo." I also do a lot of drop thumb where the thumb lands on a string higher than the middle finger. After awhile that starts to feel more natural than alternate string pull-offs (at least for me).
Cool playing. Took LOT of work to do that. Cool transition also. Dying to hear you do something. Maybe try some California Roll banjo triplets on there?
bravo. amazing. magnifico! i envy you. im learning the banjo as i post this comment. i cant quite grasp the finger picking. being a guitar player all my life using a pick. i feel overwhelmed.
~Absolutely Brilliant - please can you advise me on how you learnt to play celtic tunes clawhammer style? I'm fine with drop thumbing etc and I think my clawhammer is sound enough but I have no idea how to start with 6/8 time and celtic tunes! Please help! Thanks
I think this was absolutely FABULOUS. Not sure where you might have learned the tunes but would sure appreciate your response. Where could I find the tabs, etc. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful playing and well chosen tunes. Kelly
I heard him live at house concert. He is just fantastic but then he opens his mouth n spews out socialist political views and ruins the concert. What a shame.
@@rattyfingers8621 I don’t give a fig for the politics of the player, it’s the music and if someone has a certain conviction thats their right. You don’t have to agree. Applaud the music

I've been torn between the tenor banjo and the clawhammer style for years. You have just given me the answer. Thank you so much and merry Christmas
You are a fantastic player. This is fabulous.
I've seen this video countless times now... Absolutely beautiful.
this is great playing,keep it up sir lovely to listen to,

You are a great player. Really enjoyed that.
Sounds wonderful!

Nice picking, really amazing!
@JohnnysCoolStuff Indeed. I've heard that same tune called both "Maid Behind the Bar" and "The Green Mountain."
There is some nice learning here thanks mate...mad cool
Bloody brilliant!!
Wow some of the cleanest clawhammerin on TH-cam! I aspire to play this well someday.
I'm glad I now know you can play irish folk on a five string and not just a four string
If you 'add-in' lots of triplet-arpeggios and use open and alternate string pull-offs .... you'll even get that FULL HOUSE - WALL of Celtic-style SOUND.
Thank you, nicely done!
Amazing picking and taste!!!!!! I added the video in a playlist of Irish 5 string

Wow truly great stuff
Hey Brian!...sounds great! I was just looking around for something to teach my students on St. Patrick's day and stumbled on this.
Hope you're well!
Very nice!
This is so sick
fantastic!
Thanks for sharing 👍👏👏👏
That's excellent!!!
Wonderful
Sounds good, sir.
Thought I might like to learn the banjo thanks for fucking that dream. Fantastic skills
Very good I know the first one as The Maid behind the Bar (but in the Key of D)
Magistral
Awesome.

Cool playing. Took LOT of work to do that. Cool transition also. Dying to hear you do something. Maybe try some California Roll banjo triplets on there?

Ahh, Thanks for responding.. Guess I'll have to figure it out on my own haha.. Cheers.
Where do I look to learn this? Absolutely fantastic.

This the root of American music
Great!
Hi, I was just wondering whether or not tabs for these three reels are available somewhere. Thanks, Great vid.
miss mcleods scottish. fair chance the other 2 are also scots in origin
~Absolutely Brilliant - please can you advise me on how you learnt to play celtic tunes clawhammer style? I'm fine with drop thumbing etc and I think my clawhammer is sound enough but I have no idea how to start with 6/8 time and celtic tunes! Please help! Thanks
I believe that first song is The Maid Behind the Bar.
Good banjo players seldom show facial expressions. Like they are all poker players at heart. 🀄️
Sheeee-ooout! That's a mighty fine pickin' and a grinnin' ! I hear they'll pay ya $10 if ' ya sing into a can! Keep it coming!
DANG.
Are you mixing in some up-picking in there? Or is that all down strokes and drop thumb? Thanks! Sounds great
Men, u r talent

Hi Brian, I was wondering if you had any tabs for these three reels? Thanks.
Very nice
Have you ever seen dan Walsh reel set he did on his same butt different album
Dan Walsh sounds awesome! Love how he really drives the tempo. Thanks for the recommendation!
I heard him live at house concert. He is just fantastic but then he opens his mouth n spews out socialist political views and ruins the concert. What a shame.

@@neillconnor guess we agree then. Play the music, applaud appreciate and leave the politics at home.
Mighty boy Mighty!
Sounds more like bluegrass than Irish music.
You look soooooooooooooo sad!
