Old Time Tune in C

Something very different this week. I’ve been playing the 5-string banjo a lot lately and I’ve been itching to get some practicing recording it in. It’s been tricky, since it tends to reverberate quite a bit and the microphone picks all that up.

This is an old clawhammer tune I have only ever heard played on the banjo, but I quite like it. The 5-string banjo does well as its own accompaniment, so this tune is played solo.
