    Hope you’re having a great summer. Thanks for all your Patient teaching. I’m going to try to work harder on your stuff. Hope your shoulder gets better. I have the same thing and it takes time.

    This is why I started learning clawhammer banjo. To play these fun old folk songs like this. 😀 Thanks, Jen!!

    I've always felt that if a tune doesn't sound good slow as well as fast it's not much of a tune. A very nice song. Well done.

    I start physical therapy for my shoulder on Monday. I feel your pain!! I love to play my banjo slowly to just enjoy how wonderfully musical it is. Thanks for all you do here on UA-cam. Be well.

    I don’t play clawhammer 5-string banjo. I play jazz on a 17-fret open back tenor banjo, but I find your content interesting, entertaining, educational, and fun. Thank you so much.

    I love your lessons. Just picked the banjo (frailing). I am 69 and hope I still can learn it before the virus get to me. Situation here in Brazil is really terrible. Worse than ever. I lived in the USA for 24 years, my daughter lives in Miami. I might never see her again. Only God knows. But we will meet again, sometime, somewhere ... Thank you very much for our lessons. You are lovely, great teaching! Be safe!

    Lovely little song for a quiet evening. I got drawn to this again this evening! Looking forward to the next video, I think as summer is a coming and we just might be allowed out of the house, we need some campfire sing song songs 😁 because who doesn’t like a banjo sing song round a campfire? My kids love them but seriously if I have to bring one more thing “round the mountains when she comes” I’m going to hurt somebody! 😂😂😂🪕🪕

    That’s really good picking young lady and you sing very well. Also, that’s a hard thing to do is play a Musical instrument and staying at the same time. That’s very good. Keep up the good work I’m enjoying your channel.

    I just recently discovered this simple, but fun song. So many ways you can play it. I like playing it Dm G7 in the last bar instead of the F to G.

    You are right! I have been focusing too much on going fast. The slow and contemplative also goes soooo well with my new banjo, btw, I just picked up a short neck maple beauty from Pisgah Banjos.
    Thanks for the great content, Jen. How'd a Brit Lass like yrself get into all this Southern Appalachian stuff? Cheers from Western North Carolina

    Hi Jen, just discovered your vids, don't play banjo but always love the sound,and the tunes played on them mostly old timey, you , have played a few of my favourites, like your fresh and friendly way of teaching,you mention that you dance as well as play,would that be Apperlacian buckdance, thats how I got interested in the sound of the banjo,if so whats your favourite tune to dance too. kind regards Dave

    • @frailingatlife7755
      @frailingatlife7755  3 роки тому

      If you look up Feet First Appalachian dance team on here there are quite a lot of videos - that's the team I learned with so there are a few old vids of me dancing. Loads of cool tunes! Nowadays I just play banjo for them, but I still do a tiny bit of stepping as part of my Banjo Jen live set (see my original 'Mill Song' video on my other channel :)

    This is great. Any chance you can do some Irish songs like 'The Wild Rover', 'Whiskey in the Jar' and 'The Black Velvet Band'? I have the strum but I have difficulty in hitting the melody notes.

    • @frailingatlife7755
      @frailingatlife7755  3 роки тому +1

      Hoping to do a 3/4 time tutorial soon which might help with Wild Rover. I don't really play an Irish tunes - maybe look up Dan Walsh, I think he does some Irish ones, he's ace :)
