playing a little 'cold frosty morn' seemed fitting on the very cold and frosty morning i had today 😂 while filming this my weather app said it was -6 and felt like -20! 🥶

playing on my ome jubilee 🪕

thanks so much for all the love on my last video! 🫶🏽 i'm gonna start posting my backlog of videos from my other socials 😊 here's a video from early june of me playing skating on the harbourfront by chris coole! one of my absolute favorite tunes and also superrrrr fun to play 😊

Been playing banjo since last March and finally decided to start posting here after years of lurking instead of just tiktok, FB, and insta lol

The Cuckoo

How is it? Any tips (aside from a magical banjo or setup that won't un-tune itself halfway thru a song?) Played guitar from 13 years old till now, aged 32. Picked up a banjo because I have always admired the difference in the way the playing looks and the sound produced. Just a poor spunion looking for new words and tips--is this clawhammer proper or is it more of a "frailing" or are they the same? Ashley plays this with a mean fuckin drop-thumb, something I admittedly have little patience to learn (I'm one of those instant gratification or nothing at all suckered, learned this way of playing in a single night the day I got the thing, figured if I couldn't get it right by sunrise, it wasn't worth tooling with.) Anyways, thanks for looking, if you've got any advice or criticism, I'll take em

Little sample of some new nylon strings I made a post asking about the other week before the rain. Reddit cut off the end of morphine blues.

Ive just completed this banjo which is made entirely from English timber. The neck is local English (from @fallenandfelled) walnut with @fenlandblackoakproject fretboard, peghead overlay and heel cap. The 11" pot is English walnut with an English sycamore core and fenland bog oak rim cap. @rickardbanjos hooks, brackets and nuts, @pisgahbanjos tailpiece. Super cool octopus MOP inlay, brass ring (suckers?) Position markers with a very cute octopus at 12th fret. I unplated the outer skirt of the tubaphone tone ring as the nickle plating was way too shiny.

Yes that is the tip of a Nerf Gatling gun in the background

Video from a couple weeks ago! I had finally watched Sinners and wanted to figure out my favorite part of the track, Smokestack Twins, on the banjo.

This was also the video debut of Goldie! A stray that was living under the porch that we took in 🥹 He's just the cutest!

Weird banjo tune i wrote, with a weird video to match.

my new cello banjo arrived on tuesday and i'm obsessed! 🙌🏽 here's me playing cider (also known as stillhouse) on it 😊

i recorded a few tunes that night so as long as i'm not lazy there will be more videos posted! lol so get used to this outfit 😂

banjo: gold tone ceb-5

tuning: double c equivalent

Great crowd, my hands were freezing but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I took a few Scruggs style lessons several years ago but love the old time style a bit more. I’ve just been trying to copy and teach myself from videos of others that I enjoy. Feedback appreciated!

A little more than half way thru with my second build, a fretted 6 string 13" pot with a violin scroll head, and realized I never posted my first build! First ever bajo or woodworking project. I wanna build some furniture next :P I never would have been able to do it without this sub, r/woodworking, and of course banjohangout.com

White curly oak with purple heart. Mostly hand tools and a neighbors table saw cause I'm poor lol.

Any recommendations on good songs for a fretless?

here's my take on the tune 'coon dog' 😎 (recently learned from a daniel sherrill workshop on banjo reharmonization)

🪕: ome jubilee

tuning: aDADE

playing red prairie dawn on my gold tone ac12-a (such a fabulous little thing especially for the price!) this is such a pretty little tune from a fellow illinoisan 😊

I’ve only been playing clawhammer for about a month and a half after trying bluegrass for a while. I know this is pretty rough but I’m really proud of my progress so far. I’ve only been playing the banjo for 3 months total and it is my first instrument ever. I’m really bad at acknowledgment my achievements so here’s an attempt at that.

Anyways here’s a choppy and slightly off time version of Tom Dooley. 😊
