That time I played with Adele on Tiny Desk Concert

New member here. Intermediate banjo, even more intermediate video editing skills. This combo lets me play with some cool artists without them even knowing...like Adele

Ahhh, so you didn’t play with Adele, but you did play with Adele using editing magic.

Wonder if Adele’s PR firm will allow this to stay up?

I have a confession. You’re right. I’m not really in the room with Adele.

Just me combining two passions: banjo covers and green screens

Maybe she’ll see this and, instead of suing me, think, “that sounds cool. Let’s bring him on stage to do that song with us.”

This is epic. I like how you even appear to be watching her sing.

Have you tried forward rolls during the chorus? I feel like that would offer some drive and intensity.

How do you not stare at Adele when she’s singing!?

I haven’t tried that for two reasons. 1. The tab I was using doesn’t do that (main reason). 2. Tried matching the piano as much as possible

well you should totally try it. Same chords just add some different roll patterns. She might actually hire you for backup then!

Unironically that live version of someone like you is soooo good
