A quick recording trying out the nylguts

A quick recording trying out nylguts for the first time

Traditional

Me on banjo (two finger index lead) and Amy on guitar. We learned this tune from Don Borchelt.

For your review, "The Eighth of January". Played in clawhammer style.

I learned it from tab found in "Melodic Clawhammer Banjo" by Ken Perlman, Oak Publications.

Differing from the tab, I'm tuned 1/2 step below double C, f#BF#BC#

Just me and the banjo.

My arrangement

Arrangement by Rick McKeon. Picking by Wayne Conrad, after three months of self teaching.

Here's a medley of minstrel era tunes played on a Bell Boucher copy, gut strings. I like to play these at a slow and relaxed pace and find them both very peaceful.
