Another Week WTF I Can't Keep Up

Alright, so I've got a start on Washingtons March. Boll Weevil, didn't make it much further than the basics. Index lead, played around with it, didn't get anything seriously done. So yep onto the next week.

Back to standard tuning, I'm working on the L&N Rag, and stumbled across Last of Trion which I like a lot and they're both in C so that's the thing for this week.

Also I need to start learning some of the Contra tunes that the folk people round here play. The old time tunes I like just don't seem to fly with that group, they are mostly focused on Irish and New England stuff, so I will adapt.

DDAD and Index Lead

Not necessarily related. And yes I missed a week or so, but in my defense I learned 3 tunes in the last two weeks so I'm still on track right? Welp Half Past Four is starting to resemble a tune maybe in a year it'll sound ok, and Chinquapin Hunting is one of my favorites at the moment.

So for this week I decided to leave cross A behind and head over into DDAD tuning. So I'm learning Boll Weevil off of the Brad Leftwich video and Washington's March (Napoleon's Retreat variant) off of Bruce Molsky's video.

And banjo, so for banjo due to the awesomeness of alopecia my fingernails are all jacked up, clawhammer hasn't been a lot of fun. I tried picks and really don't like them eventually I could probably make it work but instead... So I've decided to get into index lead 2 finger picking. I've been going over some tunes I already play but really need to add to my list of tunes I actually know well on banjo. So this week This World Can't Stand Long from Benton Flippen my favorite name in old time music. Paul Brown taught it at banjo camp a few years back and I never got back to it, until now.
