Wow, I wanted to comment on how the riff starting at 04:09 is so epic, but then i heard the outro song and I was blown away. Pretty nice combo with the guitar and strings!
You really have amazing song ideas, those chords at 4:08 and the outro are amazing, you should really promote more your band! I didn't even know you were on Spotify
Good observations. I grew up with bluegrass and mountain music. My dad was a bluegrass player, so I learned mandolin cause it's a good size for kids, we had a banjo and it fascinated me. The left hand is pretty easy with banjo, everything comes from the right hand. I eventually found ACDC, Sabbath(yes I am old) and moved on to guitar, but you got me thinking about banjo. Nice video.
Man I love my banjo. All my friends roast me for playing it, but it really is fun to play and the resonant sound it makes is actually beautiful in person. Everyone thinks of that deliverance song but you can play normal good music on it if you want.
Banjo is such a delightful instrument I borrowed one and couldn't put it down. Also I think it fits women's voices really well in pitch range and timbre
In the late 90s my beuuutiful wife took banjo lessons for a year and man I got to where I actually enjoyed listening to her play. It's a very happy instrument. Now i'm looking at it hanging on the wall covered with dust :sad":
Banjos are beautiful. I had one briefly, but had to sell it before I moved. I bought it because I'd been playing a lot of songs in open tunings on my guitar, and in doing so I read someone speculate that Keith Richards was a closet banjo player because of how many songs he wrote in open tuning. They're lots of fun to play.
double c is a beautiful tuning, i usually stay there for most of my playing, if you like that tuning you might like exploring some old time songs in the clawhammer style, my favorites: soldiers joy, arkansas traveler, farewell to trion, grey owl, julianne johnson (all usually played in double c) lukas pool is the best in that style imo, he has a soft and beautiful touch. if you want to get an open back, i highly suggest a cheaper gold tone, i have 6 or 7 banjos and was very surprised at how well it played given the price (i think i paid 130). i have no idea who you are and i think your video showed up in my suggested because i love banjos and so it was an apt video title. cute bunnies, glad you're enjoying the instrument.
When I found my first banjo age 29. I didn’t plan to quit the guitar and played banjer exclusively for about 9 yeArs . Love it . I’m back to guitar now too. Still there’s just something about he banjo . And when you take it around you find most other people love it too/ maybe they didn’t even know it but they do . Have fun . Great channel/ love your melodic ideas in your playing
Hahahah! This was GREAT! 😆 I've been playing the three finger Scruggs style banjo for about eight months now! It's A M A Z I N G Btw, I love your personality! God bless! ❤️
I've been playing banjo and guitar for many years. I'd like to give insight to those looking to try banjo. Bluegrass and clawhammer banjo have lower learning curves than playing guitar. It's so easy to sound good on your own and it'll come quickly to anybody who knows the basics of guitar. Just remember to learn the techniques and be thoughtful about which fingers to use and how to use them. Technique is actually much more important on banjo than guitar. And I'll say that Twooba's technique isn't great here. Some of what she does isn't what most music written for 5 string banjo is meant for. But that's okay! Music is about having fun. Just keep in mind that people who don't learn how its historically played (Scruggs style and Old Time style) will have a lot of trouble learning songs written for it. The two techniques are very well established. It's not like guitar where there's a million ways to play it. Banjo has a much tighter knit history. I would again recommend that you look up how to actually play bluegrass and clawhammer as there are lots of subtleties that REALLY matter. Also, if you're looking to buy one, remember that the resonator ones are meant for bluegrass (fingerstyle type stuff) and the open back ones are meant for Old Time (clawhammer). I would absolutely recommend getting a resonator banjo for your first one. The open back ones are fragile and quieter, and the action is kept way higher. Also, they have notoriously bad intonation. And you shouldn't spend over $300 on a first banjo. A cheap one will be perfectly fine! Feel free to ask me any other question you may have.
I've never played with a banjo, just guitar, but it seems to me that "double C" tuning she showed would basically amount to a C9(no 3rd)/G in the bass chord when played open, and that seems like it'd make it easier to come up with cool chords and arpeggios. Also since it's neither major nor minor, it can be easily adapted to be either.
Yeah she's playing it almost like a tenor banjo with a picking motion. I would never judge anyone for how they want their banjo to sound, the most important thing is to have fun and love the banjo. But no one really plays how she's playing, except maybe dolly Parton the few times I've heard her play banjo. I play both three-finger and clawhammer styles, hers most closely resembles "Seeger style" of up-picking. Also there's nothing wrong at all with playing old time banjo on a resonator imo
You’re the first person I’ve ever heard call a banjo fragile. Haha. Resonators are really heavy and loud. I think open backs are best as a first banjo.
The main difference between the banjo and the guitar. You can't get laid shredding on a banjo. Well, you can't get laid shredding on a guitar these days either, but even less so on a banjo.
Twooba! I am so happy you are getting into banjo. Very unexpected! I always thought banjo was a cringey instrument until I discovered "old time" banjo music and open back banjos played in clawhammer style. I love your playing! I though you would really like Nora Brown's banjo playing. If you like to use a pick you can also look into tenor banjos but then you lose that cool drone string. Good luck on your journey! :)
YES! Please keep up with the banjo. It's a small growing trend and I'm loving every second of it. Bought one about a year ago and it's become my favorite instrument. GCGCE tuning is also fantastic.
I am SO happy you picked up a banjo, I bought one a couple years ago and I have so much fun playing it. Literally just got it thinking it was a joke but it’s now my best friend, it’s magical. Check out Jim Pankey on UA-cam and learn yourself some foggy mountain breakdown rolls, you’ll have an absolute blast
I wanted a banjo. Then I looked up on technique and realized that if you're not using finger picks, the technique is exactly the reverse of bass slapping. You pop with your thumb and slap with the index and middle. I am already a bass player, so no way I 'm subjecting my mind to that!
Not sure what you mean? Clawhammer is picking downward with index or middle, strumming then thumb hits the drone string. (Or you can do 2 finger without picks thumb/index). Check out clifton hicks👍
Oh hell yeah brother. An open-back Deering Goodtime is a good starter banjo!!! With a Banjolit "Dr Arm" armrest as well. Jim Panky's channel is great for learning.
If I was on Bunny Island, all the bunnies would swim somewhere else. Twooba was just in some random park, and North America's bunny population came to visit.
Actually there are a number of different banjo style instruments. The common are 1. Standard 5 string banjo 2. Tenor Banjo. 4 string banjo. Other instruments that gave banjo options. 1. Banjolele: banjo ukulele played and tuned like a ukulele. 2. Banjolin: banjo mandolin. Played and tuned like a mandolin 3. Banjo Guitar: played and tuned like a guitar. There may also be others. 3. Banjo
I played with a Dean banjo in a store and had to get it because it was so weird. And I'm not even into bluegrass. I just use it sometimes to use in alt/punk/experimental tracks. Nothing inherently "bluegrass" about it, it's just a stringed instrument. And I don't know banjo tuning, I just use stupid tunings I make up.
You have an awesome banjo. Deering’s are the best in my opinion. I have the Deering Mumford & Sons version. It’s an open back and it sounds so great. Mean Mary and Steve Martin play Deering’s, too.
they have those weird six string banjos that are tuned like guitar but it just doesn't flow the same I dunno why if don't finger pick it and try to strum chords it just sounds off what state are you based out of so if you ever do shows I can catch you or if you ever need anyone to back you up on guitar or bass I learn by ear super fast
I just love the fact that there's no explanation given about all the rabbits whatsoever.
don't worry it's a classic drawback of playing banjo, they disappear when you stop playing
good food

Are you in New Buffalo Michigan?

Rabbit magnet is just another name for a banjo

10:00 First time I’ve ever seen a bunny held hostage. Great video 🔥
You really have amazing song ideas, those chords at 4:08 and the outro are amazing, you should really promote more your band! I didn't even know you were on Spotify
twooba is like guitar snow white. the creatures just follow her around when they hear her play
It's the tambor of the instrument that lends itself so well to all those diminished cords you like so much.
'I don't own it'- proceeds to twirl it like she's at the Scottish games
My girlfriend also loves the banjo. I love the banjo. The banjo is incredible

Joey Jo Jo plays the Banjojo.
The Banjo loves you too. The Banjo loves your girlfriend... Banjo = Love.
Make Banjos not wars.

Thank you for this. This is how I play my instruments just trying to improvise and have a good time. Definitely have to look into a banjo after this !
Twooba ur the best. Appreciate your videos & music. Youve helped me with my songwriting and confidence in playing. Keep doing you dude
Man I love my banjo. All my friends roast me for playing it, but it really is fun to play and the resonant sound it makes is actually beautiful in person. Everyone thinks of that deliverance song but you can play normal good music on it if you want.
"You can't get mad at what a banjo makes because it's a banjo" 10/10 logic
Banjo is such a delightful instrument I borrowed one and couldn't put it down. Also I think it fits women's voices really well in pitch range and timbre
twooba did an a shape on the banjo and was like, "i'd never do this on a guitar, bruv."
Woah. i love the way you describe what the music you’re playing sounds like to you. that’s really important
I also want to be in a band yo.
No you don’t
the rabbit band ? Tuba and the Rabbitones
In the late 90s my beuuutiful wife took banjo lessons for a year and man I got to where I actually enjoyed listening to her play. It's a very happy instrument. Now i'm looking at it hanging on the wall covered with dust :sad":
Hang in there man 💖
You should play it
This is the most wholesome video I've seen in years

Twooba with bunnies ❤️
08:55 “Banjo hicks are playingt it, it needs to be forgiving”😂
Bought one back in the spring of this year for the sole reason that sounds just sound good on the banjo.
You have the personality and style to become a great musical UA-camr. Gosh dangit I'm in!
The way you see music is awesome!
5:19 That's actually kinda metal. Achievement unlocked: Powerchords.
8:14 the thrill of discovery... 😃chromatic motion. Again, kinda metal. Tension through dissonance.
maybe you just like metal, so everything looks like metal. chromatic motion is from jazz.

The sister of wilderness, they say is, (now, get this) her brother, named Art!
The banjo summoned the bunnies
renting a banjo of my own now, thanks twooba
Girl YES I have the same banjo and I love it
I love how twooba is so unfiltered and just says what comes to mind
The way your starting your videos is amazing
"Banjo - very forgiving, again, just goes with, you know, banjo. Hicks are playing it. It needs to be forgiving" Spectacular analysis Twooba.
I am officially in love with this woman.
Hahahah! This was GREAT! 😆 I've been playing the three finger Scruggs style banjo for about eight months now! It's

Tell us about six string banjos!
I've never played with a banjo, just guitar, but it seems to me that "double C" tuning she showed would basically amount to a C9(no 3rd)/G in the bass chord when played open, and that seems like it'd make it easier to come up with cool chords and arpeggios.

You now hold the world record for saying the word banjo the most times in a UA-cam video.

What's the definition of 'Perfect Pitch'? - A banjo into the skip from 30 yards 😂

Banjo sounds so alive and plucky. I think we could all do with some of that in our personalities.

Hi Twooba, I know this video is old but, I just wanted to say it’s one of my favourite videos on the internet
she just loves her banjo, what can I say
I heard your Final Fantasy VII nod. You thought I didn't, but I did.
Yes! ugly chords sound great on the Banjo!
Banjo. Hick's are playing it, so it needs to be forgiving.
You have convinced me, consider me banjoed
Very Cool. Great playing. Thankyou. Cheers
don't freak out but there's a wild animal right behind you
Wow, the rabbits... and the banjo. You said the word "banjo" so many times. I'm falling in love with you. Platonically, of course. #simp
