Well here’s my first go at a tune on my beautiful Gourd Banjo. As you watch this please bear in mind that I’m a beginner playing a decidedly advanced instrument; this banjo is fretless and lacks the advantage of modern hardware for projection, giving me a double whammy of more difficult fingering and attack.
When I try Phantom hammer-ons they simply get swallowed up a lot of the time, I think that’s just my lack of skill showing through

I made sure the instrument was in tune before filming, but my fingering may be off so the song may sound a bit wrong. The tune is the ever popular “Old Joe Clark.” Critiques welcome.

I kind of like the dischordance (is that a word) of the tune…
