I dusted off the video camera to do a lesson on Tam Lin, or really a lesson about the A part of Tam Lin and how knowing the chord shapes makes a complex-sounding tune easier to play.

Nice lesson Cathy…..Lee in bloomington
You really are one of my favorites! Thanks so much and welcome back. You were missed.
So glad to see you are back! … This tune is one of my favorites. I play fiddle, but my fiance plays clawhammer banjo and until I found your lessons, he never thought he could play Irish / Celtic music on his banjo, so for us to play together I’ve always had to play his tunes.
I love your unique banjo-playing style and interpretation of tunes — and especially how you inspire confidence that the banjo CAN be used to play a wide repertoire! I’ve just forwarded this to him — and looking forward to seeing more of you again!
Thanks, everyone, for your enthusiasm! i’m glad the video is useful.
So happy to see you back! & sounding as good as ever.
I surely enjoy your posts – thank you for the time.
I love this song! And so happy to find your video on how to play it clawhammer. Will you be making another video on how to play the B part? Thanks!
Thanks for your hard work Cathy. Playing this tab like mad. Love the tune and tab and video really appreciated. Regards Alex
