I recorded this song using a Deering Calico banjo. I love my Calico, it has more resonance than any banjo I've played so far. It might be too thin and bright for recording, for some musicians. I personally think Deering's Golden Era series is best for recording, but for just picking I love the Calico! I'm using Dave Hum's backing track, which you c…

I recorded this using a Deering Golden Era. It has a maple neck. The banjo had a buzzing issue on string one when doing pull offs. I bought it from Fuller's Guitar in Houston. So I sent it back for a refund, but it has a beautiful song. I really like Deering's 06 tone ring. I ordered the Deering Golden Wreath instead (which has a mahogany neck), wh…

I recorded this using my Deering Goodtime Special banjo. For $1,099 it was one of the best deals I've ever purchased. I love that banjo! It doesn't have a truss rod and doesn't need one, because the Goodtime Special is solid maple. It does have a tone ring. It is 9.5 pounds, which is easier for me to play longer when writing tabs or working on a so…

This is one of my favorite song mixes by Dave Hum, "Behind The Haystack & The Setting Sun." They are both fun songs to play, especially The Setting Sun. Dave's family has tablature available for both of these songs and 39 more at their website. They also have this original backing track made and used by Dave. My tracks are inferior to Dave's. He's …

I wanted to make a backing track for something different than from songs that Dave Hum did, simply to carry on Dave's tradition of learning new songs. I heard him say that there are so many songs and so little time. He sure was right about that. I used this YouTube video of ?Blue Ridge Cabin Home? as a template. This particular recording was done b…

I found this melodic song, ?Saint Anne's Reel,? which sounds nice on the 5-string banjo. It is done in Standard Tuning, in the Key of G. Despite its popular association with Ireland, St. Anne?s Reel is actually of French-Canadian origin. The inspiration for the 1929 tune comes from a quaint French village named Baie Sainte Anne, situated on St. Ann…

Here is a traditional Irish reel that I learned from Dave Hum called, 'The Traveller.' It is also known as, 'Walker Street.' I used his recording on YouTube as a template to make this backing track. Dave plays it in standard tuning in the key of A (capo 2nd fret, and 7th fret of fifth string), but I have also made backing tracks in the keys of A an…

This is a really great song that Dave Hum recorded. It is called "Flying Cloud Cotillion" or "Flying Clouds." I love all the melodic playing in this tune, and I think you will too. When I first heard the song it seemed complicated, but in fact this is an easy song to learn and play. I used Dave's song as a template to make this backing track. I mad…
