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.
