Скачать или смотреть The Gambling Man -- up-picking banjo with tablature

Corresponding tab is available on the Banjo Hangout: https://www.hangoutstorage.com/banjoh...

This is based on the playing of Samantha Bumgarner (you can find her recording on YouTube). Samantha Bumgarner, a traditional musician from western North Carolina, taught Pete Seeger how to play the banjo. Pete popularized the up-picking banjo style that he learned from her, but it was a well-established playing style along with clawhammer and two-finger picking back 100 years ago.

The banjo is in the relative Double C tuning, but I am pitched down a whole step to fBbFBbC, just like in the Bumgarner recording. I think the lower pitch works nicely to give a bit of low growl to the tune. You can just as well play this in C or even capo up and play it in D if you wish.
