Is it right to say Bela Fleck rocks!

Gotta love that crazy Prince looking case his banjo is encased in.

Dudes....Bela does rock! And so does Victor Wooten. Been a fan for years now.

What the heck was the pirate playing? Thats a crazy looking instrument.

 

[TulsaJeff]

Awesome music there.. I love it. The pirate is playing a homemade instrument that he built himself from what I understand.. he is a drummer and this is a guitar platform with drum sensors on it. His fingers and hands hit the drum sensors to reproduce the drum sounds.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[meateater]

Triggers, I get it. Very cool!

 

[bob the noob]

I agree, great music... but am I the only one who thought I'd see this based on the title?

 

[que-ball]

Yeah, no more sax for me after hearing that! But why is it on a BBQ forum?

Cuz the banjo was SMOKIN', that's why!

Ifn we are gonna talk banjo I have to slip this in... a friend of mine. "Biscuit" 3 time national champion.... not much on the internet with him but you ought to hear this guy sittin around a campfire... anything from Foggy Mountain Breakdown to Stairway to Heaven. This is a short clip from some studio work he's been doin.

 

[buffalosmoke]

Good stuff pignit...too short of a clip tho

 

[pignit]

I know. I wish he had more on the internet. This guy is incredible to sit down and listen to. He plays any style and any song you can request. If I run into anymore clips I'll pass them on. He is an incredible talent...... also a great guy.
This is a clip I found from a cell phone video... sittin in his music shop just pickin.
