So I’ve been taking banjo lessons since January. They were a christmas present this year as I’ve only had the banjo for two years and could only do a basic roll. I’ve learned Cumberland Gap, Cripple Creek, Blackberry Blossom (one of my favorites), parts of Foggy Mt. Breakdown and I’m working on learning Nine Pound Hammer. Granted, I stumble through most of them at the moment as I’m not that adept at making my left hand do what it needs to with the chords while I figure out the rolls and picking with my right hand.
Every so often, I search Amie Street for one of the songs I’m working on to see what it “should” sound like and lo and behold, this time I found it. Here for all your listening pleasure is 9lbs. Hammer the way it should be played. Band and all. Listen to the banjo in the background and imagine it with more pauses, breaks, bad chords and other wise untimeliness and thats me playing for you…
