Great video. Started playing clawhammer/old time a year ago. Love it so much. I had no idea R Giddens was part of this. I've always been in awe of her. This old Appalachian LOVES Texas Hol Em. People who hate it are the same people who think whites invented country.

Great video. Thank you for putting this together, and for the links below. I learned of RG through the tv show Nashville ! I’ve followed her since and recently read a very good article about black country music in Zelle magazine.

You should be able to tune down that low with the John Hartford d strings. Don’t know how that will sound with clawhammer, but some food for thought

This is such a great video, thank you very much for posting it. When I first heard the song, I was trying to figure out what tuning the banjo was in, then, when I learned that Rhiannon Giddens was playing I knew it was probably not in an open G. The way you explain how to play it in the video is very insightful. I can’t wait to start learning this song. On another note, have you ever done, or consider doing, a tutorial on Rhiannon Giddens Louisiana Man? Specifically, the live version that she did on Austin City Limits? The opening to Texas Hold ‘em reminds me of the opening to Louisiana Man. It has that same deep, low, soulful sound.

How much does a fretless banjo like that cost. Anyone?

I knew that this was Beyoncé’s best song musically the first time I heard it. She doesn’t get enough credit for the research and sampling she does, but instead she’s presented to the gp as a thief or something.
