POV Banjo Cam 'Earl's Breakdown'

Call me selfish, but this video is going to be all about the banjo player. I hope the ole trusty "banjo cam" gives you a clearer perspective of my approach, attack, lead and backup playing. But most of all I hope you all enjoy another video from last years KILLER deep groove jam at IBMA.

All the best and keep rollin,
RC

Man I love these banjo cam videos! It's so cool to see what your left hand is doing when you're working your magic.

[ericsimmons]

SON! That was a backup clinic... I'll be sure to pay attention to some of these chops.... Good job!

Russ I think the next evolution of the POV cam is getting a 360 cam and putting it in the middle of the circle, it’d be awesome

[wackybruce]

Wish I could have seen my own face when I noticed Michael Cleveland on mandolin 🤣

[chriscooper]

Great picking Russ, I'll keep my eyes open for more of these. I picked up more than a couple of licks and back-up ideas from this, thanks 😀

[eightyoctane]

Thanks again for these videos Russ. I'm learning so much from your POV cams! Inspiring!

[chucktaylor]

Russ, The "View" was good! Among many things, it showed the depth of the string bending and illustrates "don't be timid, push that D string up till it nearly touches the fourth string". CORRECTION "B" String.

Amazingly tight an d accurate playing!

Been watching for years. Keep Rollin. (camera) yet, I just noticed Yuengling, (Pennsylvania) the old 35mm metal film can. ( pick case? ) if so; very cool. Even tho they were plastic when I was a young photographer, I accumulated quite a few of the metal variety. I have been using those things to keep everything in in from the Banjo case to tackle box. Also, about time for another POV vid.

[victorvaive]

[geraldwest]

Used up a whole case of awesome sauce! Thanks for the point of view, pretty cool.

[forgetfulspirit]

... loved it ... great way to start any day ...

[davidmarks]

Really nice banjo vision. I am just starting out with the banjo, and its nice to see the finger work. I also noticed there was a bit of re-tuning on the fly, or maybe that was some kind of musical effect.

[arthurogle]

Loved Lester Raymond Flatt's "pull offs" on this tune!!!

[arthurogle]

A great ole Earl tune. Even better with the guitar "Pull Offs". once made a stupid comment on Patrick's fiddle playing on Face Book.
I posted an apology to Patrick 5 mins later.

[AlaniSugar]

Awesome!!! IBMA's coming up again soon! I won't be there, but I bet you'll be, and I'm definitely rooting for Patrick as Fiddle Player of the
