A Little Stack Of Wheat - 5-string banjo (free tabs)

Here's a new arrangement I made for A Little Stack Of Wheat, a traditional Irish hornpipe. This is mostly in a two-finger style, but I'm also brushing some chords with my thumb once in a while. Free tabs are available in my banjo club this month! Thanks for watching! https://kylegrayyoung.gumroad.com/l/kylesbanjoclub

dont ever try to tune a banjo high that was the most challenging task ive ever had to endure

[muirneach]

and they said banjo wasn’t a worthwhile instrument. well im playing hall of the mountain king rn so who’s the real winner here

[revolant]

So my banjo got here yesterday

[kristakittyfish]

I didn't often memorize music when playing clarinet unless I had to as reading the sheet music was easy and second-nature but trying to learn to read tablature is NOT so I've just been memorizing everything and I get how guitar players can just play songs from their heads now

[ineloquent-tumbling]

Finally got my hands on a set of fingerpicks and started learning rolls on the banjo today.

I love this??? Why did no one tell me how fun rolls would be???

[spice-ghouls]

Once I'm good enough at it that I can manage it with some measure of confidence, I'll post a video playing.

OH did I tell you all on here that I'm learning to play the banjo?

Deku right after Bakugo got stabbed by Shigarako/AFO:

Flashback to when Banjo (5th OFA user) said to keep tabs on his heart, or else it'd react to his anger.

Deku, in spite of this, became immediately ENRAGED, and his eyes look like they lit on fire (even scarier than him using OFA at 100%)

Then he PUNCHES and BITES through Shiga/AFO's Rivet Stabs like a fucking beast

THEN- HE LOSES FOCUSES SO BAD HE NEARLY HAS SHIGA/AFO TAKE AWAY ONE FOR ALL. HE WOULD'VE LOST IT IF NOT FOR NANA AND YOICHI

Essentially, Deku loses his absolute goddamn mind once Kacchan is hurt, and this isn't even the only time.

Just to show how terrifying he is here: Full Cowling 100%

vs "He stabbed and insulted Kacchan"

I've realised in browsing lately that a lot of people on AO3 really don't seem to realise a lot of tags are like tied to a parent tag and assume they have to use the ones that are like "Charles | Grian".

Like guys you can tag as "Grian" and it'll still show in other one. You're not missing out on readers 'cos you are in the tag (thank you wranglers). You don't need to keep going "ao3 stop using irl names challenge" you just... don't have to use them in your tags either.

Just slap down that username and hit enter. And if you're still not sure you can preview your post and test the tags go to the right person (just open them in a new tab) and not Mumbo Jumbo from Banjo-Kazooie sdkgh

making a list for myself of new-to-me music i've gotten or enjoyed this year, please recommend me things if you would like & i'm sure i will add to this list!

aria of vernal tombs, obsequiae - i picked this up because i saw it recommended as medieval metal & it didn't have like, spooky fascism vibes to me? the real problem with liking medieval things and metal? anyway it's very beautiful & parts of it are ethereal. i like listening to it with the windows down while the sun is rising over the hills (i have a long commute). it doesn't feel spectral or mystical or anything to me, though, i just think it's lovely & like. nerdy. which makes me happy

head hammer man, horndal - got this because kim kelly mentioned it in her metal newsletter. i really like the echoing hammers on some of the tracks, and there's this rising guitar call on 'calling: labor' that i love. also there is a song called "fuck scabs" & it's about a strike! i think the album art is beautiful too

kentucky, panopticon - kim kelly's fault but also it's a metal album about kentucky coal miners. my favorite part is the transition from the lonely banjo to the heavy drum drop in "bodies under the falls," it makes me think about how much i like laurel blaydes' version of "coal tattoo" & how the rapid, beautiful banjo sounds so furious & always reminds me of what those speed metal solos do. also they do a version of "which side are you on" that i like

new heaven, inter arma - it's cavernous! one of the things that i like about metal is that it can feel really architectural, like it's creating a sonic space; when i was in middle school, i was super into early metallica & the stooges' raw power because it felt like the sound was a solid wall between me & the world (yes i have mild hearing damage now). anyway this album does that a bit for me, my favorite on the album is probably "garden in the dark," the vocals really work for me there. also i got the blue vinyl & it's pretty

ecdysis, unearthly rites - the first record i picked up because of kim kelly. it's probably the densest of these to me, and it's got this frantic despair going on that i really like. also a song called "fuck ecofascists" yes bro say more. i don't love the sludgy vocal personally but i respect the aesthetic, it absolutely crushes

the forest seasons, wintersun - thank you geddyqueer for the rec! this is like. i am saying this with affection & admiration. the best ever background music.

a chaos of flowers, big|brave - thank you tomato, who recommended this band to me! i gather they are drone metal & i still don't really feel confident that i am understanding the artistic language here, but there is so much dimension on this record, it feels transportative to me & made me think about what i listen to music for. it made me think about the inside of my skull as a location with dimension. i know functionally nothing about the process of creating music but the texture on this album feels elegant in a mathematical way to me, & i'm impressed by that. love the vocal too & i wanna buy the vinyl. relatedly i have a tab up of an album by the body & it is also making me think about space & sound & i think i really like it but i need to listen to it again

sunbather, deafheaven - picked this up after listening to it once on a recommendation like a year and a half ago, didn't really love it, listened to it again & i think i get it now even though it'll never be a favorite for me. this has been an interesting exercise for me in thinking about how i listen to music & what i want it to do; sunbather to me is great like, background while i'm working music, because it's so moody & present, but it doesn't operate in language for me. i have no idea what makes music good but when i'm in the right mood the texture on this record feels amazing

i'm curious how people listen to metal or what they want from it, because i usually am very much a "shuffle all my songs" kind of person & i will go whole years without listening to more than a couple new songs, i like pop music & things i can sing along to, i have no vocabulary for music, but i strongly feel that the correct unit of music for most of these bands is 'album.' i listened to a couple blackbraid records (very fun! will probably buy a vinyl) and it felt like going on a walk in the woods, or having an intense late-at-night conversation with an interesting acquaintance: there's a sense of movement & transition that i really value.

we got a record player a couple years ago & i remember once i started listening to vinyl records it made me think about the album as a historically contingent form. like, i had listened to 'darkness on the edge of town' before & it was easily one of my favorite albums, but i hadn't thought about it structurally, about how the order of the tracks interacts with the physical experience of having to stand up to flip the record. (i'd listened to cassettes before but mostly what i had were my dad's old bob dylan & clancy brothers mixtapes, so there wasn't that same kind of design in play.) when i got into music, it was CDs & itunes. i remember lying on the floor with the speakers on either side of me listening to electric ladyland & it was this incredible physical experience, because the spatial effect of the audio was so intense. anyway the first like, mobile music device i owned was an ipod shuffle & that is such a specific kind of relationship to have to music & i'm thinking about it again. what kinds of things can you notice & what kinds of things are deemphasized? also i am all the time thinking about how weird it is historically that music is primarily an individual experience now, as opposed to a communal or participatory one. plus the ever-present music & copyright & sacred inspiration questions, right, topical given the RIAA suit. anyway! music what even is it

oh right. the gourd banjo improvisations

right after i bitched and moaned about the landlord's saluspa porchblock i realized it was finally gone

Tuning is Wabash Blues tuning as, so I've heard, originally recorded (i.e. f Bb Bb Db Eb, whereas I think most contemporary tab rectifies it to a natural eAACD). delightfully moody tuning with the opportunity to drone the fuck out a full octave down. simply slutty.
