Alabama Bound - Lesson
Added 2022-10-07 15:00:09 +0000 UTCIn this video I explain how to play my original banjo arrangement of "Alabama Bound" using traditional two-finger as well as overhand (clawhammer) techniques.
I derived my version from old recordings of "Papa" Charlie Jackson and Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter. My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell 1st model "The Luscomb" banjo tuned fCFAC ~ gDGBD. I'm using La Bella nylon strings and a Joel Hooks bridge.
Comments
Charlie, I use 6B. Oddly, both 5B and 7B are heavier.
