For enthusiasts of early banjo
Boatman's Dance
Ok here is my first video with my first home made tack head. It is maple/African Mahogany with Nylgut strings and a 25.5" scale length. I am a guitar player and still learning banjo so please forgive my poor banjo style. Also, this instrument ended up being louder than I thought it would be so I'll have to sing louder next time. Hope you like it, and many thanks to Terry Bell for all his great advice along the way! By the way, this is in open D tuning.

Sounds great, Jason. For a tackhead, she has a lot of sparkle. Nice singin', one of my favorites.

Nice. This music is largely about the songs and singing them. Do more. Condenser mics tend to gravitate towards the strongest sound as it records it. That does not really reflect the volume of your voice in a real setting. Fingerstyle??? Why, or rather ...why not? keep the tunes flowing. Banjo looks and sounds good.

Loud is good! Chapeau to anyone who can build their own great sounding banjo! Looking forward to hearing more.
