What a humble, kind and amazingly talented individual. He's the reason I play banjo...watched him play in 1979. I love the fact he doesn't have to inject "comedy" into everything. It comes second.
I love the fact that even at his incredible skill level, just like any musician he's never content. " I'll play it for you again, and tighten it down."
not only is this a great interview but the uncut version also gives you a look at what and how one goes about doing an interview.. 2 in 1.. people are gonna complain no matter what you do, they obviously dont appreciate the process of art as much as we do..
Really enjoyed this interview and Steve's playing - I love that emotional style of playing and it has inspired me with my own journey in following in my Dad's footsteps.
And Foggy Morning Breaking with Alison Brown. Maybe my all-time favorite composition. I understand Steve Martin wrote a portion of the composition. Awesome!
While I have seen and enjoyed his acting, this is where he really gets my interest. Currently in the beginning on my own journey to learn the banjo, a bit later than mr. Martin, it is an absolute pleasure to hear him play. What an amazing artist.
Great interview. Steve Martin has written some amazing music. He truly is a very talented man... but as he said... it comes from hard work and practice. I'm not sure why anyone would give this thumbs down (except that they are very shallow, vapid individuals who have very little intelligence). I notice his clawhammer is very lose.. much different to how I've seen others play. I also noticed he uses a drop thumb method which is very unorthodox.. fascinating.
I love Steve's Deering , Mark Jonhson's beautiful banjo looks like its the same model and they are deffinatly friends .. Great how much Steve has helped everyone in our Clawhammer banjo community ..What a nice guy
Wow! not that I would expect anything less. I suppose an expensive instrument is pretty common amoung professionals, but i still choked on my coffee.:)
I don't see anything wrong with this video. Only one time did the camera zoom erratically. I think the lack of edits is quite enjoyable. When he messes up the beginning of his song, he just restarts it as if nothing happened. Very professional!
The version of this that was published WAS edited. This is the raw footage. So it makes perfect sense that we see those kinds of mishaps. Personally, I think that stuff is really neat!
It looks to me like this is raw footage, one camera of a two camera shoot. The cameraman zoomed in to adjust focus when he knew the other camera would be on the interviewer. I agree with you about Steve, though.
Interesting though it is, to see the full clip, the interviewee clearly assumed this would be edited. It's a little unprofessional to not honour the implied context of the interview.
I look at it that the banjo is a Deering Brand (at one time no body wanted to buy them). I play a 1968 Gibson. Who cares how much it costs. Unless you want to sell them. He plays very well. That is the best part. The banjo is very hard to master. Try it and see.
not quite sure what you are getting at, but this was a single camera shoot.. and this was the raw footage so everyone can enjoy every minute. what aired on national television was edited. this aint that sloppy.
I would have loved to have been in that room..and you jerks were yapping about NONSENSE! And interrupted a man with banjos worth more than you make in a lifetime! Not to mention 50 yrs of comedy and musical experience..he didn’t have to be there...I think the interviewer was a little intimidated. And nervously interrupted by accident.

VERY well stated.
Such a unique & talented guy. Thank you!

Rare treat to see him play clawhammer.

I loved this unedited version, It's sincere
Really enjoyed this interview and Steve's playing - I love that emotional style of playing and it has inspired me with my own journey in following in my Dad's footsteps.
I enjoyed it very much.
Two people can't come to grips with the fact Steve Martin is an intelligent, accomplished musician and comedian.
...and song writer, author, & actor. Extremely talented.
Steve Martin's banjo works with Earl Scruggs are fantastic. "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and the beautiful "Daddy Played the Banjo" ...
And Foggy Morning Breaking with Alison Brown. Maybe my all-time favorite composition. I understand Steve Martin wrote a portion of the composition. Awesome!
It's hard to be simple....very profound declaration
While I have seen and enjoyed his acting, this is where he really gets my interest. Currently in the beginning on my own journey to learn the banjo, a bit later than mr. Martin, it is an absolute pleasure to hear him play. What an amazing artist.
I just (yesterday) picked up my first banjo.. Im 53.. Am I too old?

One of my favorite clawhammer players. He's the real deal on this instrument.
I love Steve's Deering , Mark Jonhson's beautiful banjo looks like its the same model and they are deffinatly friends .. Great how much Steve has helped everyone in our Clawhammer banjo community ..What a nice guy
Great interview! A lot of intelligence on both sides.
This has to be the most amazing piece ever played on the banjo
Great banjo picker. Greatest instrument ever.
I feel everything he says.
pretty interesting to see he plays so much from the wrist
As there has been so much buzz, here is the edited version: steve martin on Extra
That is a Deering Clawgrass banjo he is playing. $15,299.00
Wow! not that I would expect anything less. I suppose an expensive instrument is pretty common amoung professionals, but i still choked on my coffee.:)
That zoom in oh my god

Henry VI steve martin on Extra
(For Nancy) = close friend Martin Short's wife who passed away ... knowing that makes this song hurt more
That was some "wild and crazy clawhammerin'" dang.......
1:58 thats some quality zooming right there
"The Great Remember (for NANCY)"
It looks to me like this is raw footage, one camera of a two camera shoot. The cameraman zoomed in to adjust focus when he knew the other camera would be on the interviewer. I agree with you about Steve, though.
decent bloke
Nice Clawhammer Steve. Great banjo sound.
What song is he playing at the very end??? It sounds awesome

Oh I get that but why upload the second camera of a shoot, its just sloppy.
not quite sure what you are getting at, but this was a single camera shoot.. and this was the raw footage so everyone can enjoy every minute. what aired on national television was edited. this aint that sloppy.

Fair enough, it just seems like the subject of the interview would usually expect for all the messy bits to be cut from the video
I would have loved to have been in that room..and you jerks were yapping about NONSENSE! And interrupted a man with banjos worth more than you make in a lifetime!
