A first attempt at playing rhythm via banjo to the classic Jimi Hendrix song: Hey Joe. ('just started practicing this one). Thanks, YouTube, for the backing tracks.

In old G, gDGde A song Joe Troop wrote in 2020.
A new version of Cumberland Gap for me. I can hear a bit of the traditional one here.

This radio broadcast from 1956 includes some interesting variations on Scruggs's approach to the tune.
A fast and loud mix of banjo, guitar, wild fiddling, hectic vocals, and heavy percussion by O'Death, a gothic folk-punk bluegrass-y mishmash.
J. P. Fraley is definitely a favorite fiddler. This waltz he played is quite syncopated, so with clawhammer required lots of skipped notes and the thumb playing pick-up notes. I'm not sure why I never tried learning White Rose Waltz, but am glad it's a Tune of the Week. It's a beauty.

In my excitement in finding another great resource to learn Turlough O'Carolan tunes, I've begun with two from the book and CD compilation by Art Edelstein called Fair Melodies. Both tunes were written in honor of O'Carolan's "patrons", the people who supported him as he traveled through Ireland in the late 1600's and 1700's earning a living as a blind harper. Both tunes are played clawhammer style on a cello banjo.
