There is no increase on perfection. Earl Scruggs the best banjo player ever. Never to be surpassed, never to be overtaken.

brandon daniels

listen to Carl Jackson, much better

Freeda Peeple

@brandon daniels No, he isn't

Mark Lanton Yeah, Mary should be WAY better known than she is. I'm sure Earl himself would agree.

There would be no sound at all without strings and a good banjo of course, but it's Earl's hands, head and heart that is mainly responsible for his tone, the sound that started countless imitators and wannabes on a quest to achieve it.

If you listen to the original Mercury recording of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, it's not the speed or the fact that he does not take a break. It's the timing and spacing between the notes that are so precise. Especially in a time when recording equipment was extremely limited. Please listen to the original recording of Bluegrass Breakdown and try to imagine having never heard a banjo played like that before. No one knew a banjo could be played like that. cont.

But this is flint hill special, not foggy mountain breakdown.
Am I missing your point?
