- I had a request for a tutorial for this tune / song - so here it is! It's a really fun one to play and you can add lots of your own extra bits to it. There's a recording of my version of this song on my EP 'Lost & Found', so you can play along on TH-cam • Banjo Pickin' Girl or Spotify open.spotify.c.... Just be aware if you're playing with the recording you'll need to capo the banjo as the recording is in the key of A. Have fun!

Hey everyone :) Welcome to the banjo ranks! I'm Banjo Jen - a singer-songwriter from Sheffield in the UK. I don't really play loads of old tunes (even though they're cool) and I don't focus overly on too much theory or technical aspects. But I use the wonderful frailing banjo style to play and create songs, and - most importantly - to play for fun. So I hope that I can help you to do the same thing and get enjoyment out of this fab instrument if you're just starting out (just be aware you will always be the butt of jokes in folk music circles if you play the banjo!). Please join me in the uphill struggle to make banjo cool!
If you're interested in my original singer-songwriter material, please check out my website www.banjojen.com and subscribe to my main TH-cam channel / banjojen . Thank you :)

You just blew my mind, Banjo Jen.
That was a lovely lesson. I like that it shows your thought/tune translation
Jen you have natural ability I think that's why you don't use tabs you play mostly by ear so I'm going to get the basics of
this song down first then add slides and pull offs later I'm sure with your fantastic lessons I'll get there in time.. Cheers,
I think I just stumbled upon my dream girl. Subscribed!

Hi Jen just came across ur channel I’m learning bluegrass atm been at it 11 months now and fancy doing abit of claw hammer in one of ur videos u mention learning urself which I’m doing just wondered how long I’ve been playing cheers Rich
I've been playing abut 7-8 years :)
@@frailingatlife7755 I’ve got along way to go then lol I did read a post that it takes on average 5 years to learn to play to a reasonable level so better get practicing then lol thanks for the reply regards Rich
Excellent. Just was wondering why you don’t play over the opening on the neck for flailing?
To be honest I've just never really been bothered as it's not as comfortable for me - I prefer keeping my hand over the head. I don't find the difference in sound is extreme enough to warrant me moving between the two positions, but some players like the more plunky sound over the scoop - particularly if they're just playing tunes. As I just play songs I find that because I'm singing over the top anyway I just want the louder sound of the normal position.

Is this standard tuning ?
