PERFECTION! Billy is an undisputed talent, but its his banjo playing that I love best. Pure and perfect...reminiscent for me of how Doc played, with Billy's own added tiny touch of flare in the brushing of the strings a few times, but still letting simplicity shine. ❤

He may be a star for his guitar playing, but I think he really stands out on the banjo. There are plenty of blazing flatpicking guitarists, but not as many clawhammer wizards.

Nice to hear this song for solo banjo! I'm working on a version of this beloved tune for a Moroccan instrument--I'm living in Morocco currently and noticed the Berber wandering minstrels have taken the banjo (4 string version) and really made it their own to play their own trad mountain songs. So I thought I'd get one of their instruments (the loutar) and return the favor. This was inspiring, thanks Billy. :)

Amazing story! That African instrument is actually the original banjo, slaves took their string instruments often with skin heads and top drone strings over to America and it got developed over the years. The Banjo is an African instrument ! Much love and hope Morocco treats you well

he should showcase his banjo, mandolin and his fingerpicking way more. if they sell the radio stations on lots of airplay his demand would double overnight

Looks like a Vega Banjo!? is that right? Impressive music, indeed. Folks kept telling me about him. Last one was a pretty lady with a wonderful way about her who was ringing up my groceries.

If anyone's scrambling for a tab, Reuben ain't a Doc Watson cover and that tune pre-dates Doc's hay day by over 100 years. Tell you what though, Billy plays that banjo among the best. I saw him in Montana '22 and he opened picking up that there open-back. Thought I was in for bluegrass all but then this man frailed the Crawdad Song and Groundhog. Was a better set to my taste than I could have hoped. He might be a flat-picking virtuoso, but his technique and the wear on that head suggest he plays an awful lot of traditional banjo tunes in his own time. Billy has a lot goin' on.

I'm believe it's gDGCD (sawmill). I've learned it in plain open G (gDGBD) and open D (f#DF#AD), but with the fingering of the hammer-ons he's doing, it appears to be sawmill tuning.

@runrig97 yep, it sounds exactly like gospel plough/hold on, the sawmill tuning which I learned from clifton hicks
