New to banjo (I'm a classical guitarist) but starting to get a hang of the instrument... Playing on a Farland banjo. Still trying to work out how best to record it, in terms of mic placement. Advice welcome!

Well done!

Comment by Richard William Ineson on Wednesday

Well played, nice tone, it's a good tune that should be played more.

One of my favourites. Excellent playing with much feeling.

When I played it I just hammered though it. Very nice indeed and a lovely tone.

Thank you all. 

@thereallyniceman it was your recording that prompted me to learn it!

That's fantastic!

I find it's best to bring the mic up as close as possible, so it's just out of reach of your right hand.

Thanks Russ. For me, that just results in distorted audio, unless the audio levels are extremely low. I was more thinking about which part of the banjo the mic should be pointed towards.
