Darling Cora - Traditional Banjo Lesson (BF Shelton)

Banjo Heritage 👉   / cliftonhicks  
gCGCC "Darling Cora" (access all my tabs here:   / cliftonhicks  ) as played by George R. Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. George learned the tuning and song from his father, Mal Gibson. BF Shelton's 1920s recording, "Darlin Cora," is another example.

Open String Pull-Off, alternate string pull-off, Rufus Crisp's "double shuffle," East Kentucky Drone Lick.

I'm playing a restored 1888 Luscomb banjo with Aquila "Classic Banjo" Nylgut strings, 1960s vtg. Remo frosted head, 1880s (Lyon & Healy?) ""Pat'd" tail piece, hand-carved maple bridge by Clifton Hicks, and 26 reproduction SS Stewart brackets (raw brass, 2" hook, 5/16" nut) by Rickard Banjos.
