Carry On - Kirby

Carry On, by Alfred Kirby -- an unusual banjo solo which incorporates a walking bass line. I've also attempted to incorporate a couple of Bill Ball's variations, with varying degrees of success.

Overall a really nice tune, it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Not that you can see my face, of course.

the banjo is OK ; cheap or not , these masterclones are powerful , may be too ; it seemed the signal is overloaded  ; have you  a choice for the entry gain on your camera ?

I can't complain about the power; my main gripes with it are that the bass response is only so-so, and that it loses tone up the neck; it starts getting bad around the 12th fret and gets gradually worse until it's terrible around the 17th fret.

I'm afraid I don't have a choice for the entry gain on my camera... it's a very cheap camera and it isn't in very good condition. Also, due to purely physical considerations I need to play too close to it, which probably accounts for the signal being overloaded.
