Riffraff's Misc Stuff

Devil's Dream and Sailor's Hornpipe, arranged by Bill Keith. I messed up several times, but I was too far in to start over. I can play it better when a camera isn't on. I need to practice with the camera more often so I get less nervous. This is the longest one I know. I'll have to do another one with less mistakes, and a bit faster.

What Child Is This, from Banjo Ben Clark. At the time of the recording, I had only been practicing this piece for a week. I've gotten better since then, so I need to record another one.

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach, and arrangement from Charles Butler. I have several arrangements of this, including one by Pete Seeger. That one is harder because at one point it actually uses 4 fingers, and we usually only use 3. This video is from Sept 12, and I started learning this piece the day before, so it is rough. I'm better now, I'll have to record a new one.

Cripple Creek, from Eli Gilbert I get nervous in front of people (including cameras), so I mess up more. Working on getting better with that.

Boil That Cabbage Down, from Eli Gilbert, and a couple up the neck variations.

Blackberry Blossom and some variations from Jody Hughes. I don't do well in front of cameras, so I mess up more than normal. Also still learning single-string playing. It is hard.

Learning a version of Minuet in G by Bach, from Jody Hughes. This is from Sept 12, when I started learning it, so it is pretty rough. It is mostly melodic style.
