The Cuckoo | Close-Up

Banjo is tuned: fCFA#C (one step below gDGCD aka "G Modal" tuning). Click on the machine cog symbol in the bottom right corner of this video player and select "Speed" from the pop-up menu. From there you can slow down my playing even further to .75 or .5 speed.

The Cuckoo | Close-Up

Comments

Well, I guess it's pretty different. I learned the song originally from George Gibson but in that 2010 video I had only ever heard Gibson play little pieces of the song and then only a couple of times since I was a little kid following him around. So I didn't have a clear idea in my head of how it was done--so in that video I attacked the song in somewhat of a "Rock & Roll" mindset and just cut loose. This more recent performance: <a href="https://youtu.be/t0neny6upJ0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/t0neny6upJ0</a> and especially this latest one: <a href="https://youtu.be/Z0d0e_llv3U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Z0d0e_llv3U</a> are a lot more thought-out.

hi, just curious...how close is this version to your youtube from 2010?

Celia Dunnington

Another great I need to learn. First got turned on to this one from the Cold Mountain soundtrack. Riley Baugus & Tim Erikson's version. Thanks for the homework Clifton!

Jeff J Schrems

Thanks Clifton.

Man...that song just hits me in the gut. Great stuff even slowed down.
