Gotta Love Country

Been playing banjo off and on for a few years.  I’ll never master it, but it’s fun trying to fool people I know something.

Anyway this song was inspired by Flatt & Scruggs and an old Outlaws song too.

Completely different, I know… but I’m trying to fit it all in!

Love-Jude 🙂

    I like it! I watched a jam session somewhere online that had a bunch of Banjo pickers old and young, all show off their skills…. It was pretty cool.

    It DOES remind me of “So Afraid” by the Outlaws.

    Love the banjo energy. I attempted a country tune for a film opportunity a couple years ago. They wanted a “Folsom Prison Blues” clone. Good thing I had a Telecaster at the time – fun project!

    Great song! I wish “country” still sounded like this and if I could play a banjo even half as well as this I would be mighty mighty proud of myself.

      I know some really great banjo players so, this is novice stuff. I always say it takes a great right hand… and i’ve been practicing my right hand techniques for a very long time 😏

    Love it!! When I was much younger Jerry Douglass and his dad played with my uncle Ray Sponaugle. Still a bluegrass fan to this day.
