20 Polkas played on Banjo at slow speed (100BPM)

Ben Hockenberry plays 20 popular Polkas at 100 BPM on his Banjo. Great for trying accompaniment. Remember you can change the speed of the video by clicking on settings (the cogwheel under the video).

 

 Here I copied the list of Polkas in this video:

This list of Polkas, and others like it for each type of Irish tune, are generated by members of irishtune.info, a free site for tracking practice of your repertoire: https://www.irishtune.info/session/polkas.php

 

By now the top 20 has changed a little bit.
