Finally a well demonstrated video to demonstrate the difference. Well done as usual Kelly
Thanks Anton!! 😁
I have been fiddling with reentrant tuning (high G) with the banjo uke. Claw hammer style works best with high G as the drone string. it has been a boat load of fun experimenting with Claw hammer on the uke and the banjo uke. Thanks for the great comparison. It also seems that some songs sound better with a low G, and some with the high G.
Thanks again!!!
Hey Patrick - agreed!
Good thoughts Patrick - does that mean you will need another Banjolele with a different setup?! Haha (Jamie)
High G for me.
I have low g fitted to most of my ukes which I prefer but on my 3 banjolees they all have high g I never thought of adding a low g to one of them which I'm tempted to do now after watching your video Thank you very much 👍🪕
Yet another good reason to have more ukes! (Why have one when 8 will do??)
@@fourstringstrummer 😂 I have 18 including my banjolees do you know if there is therapy for this behaviour 😂👍
@@johns4962 I'm sorry John...it's incurable...just do your best and buy more so your systems don't shut down...
Ha ha right at this moment I'm putting a low g on my magic fluke firefly 😊
I'm a low G guy. However whatever you like, just have fun. Thanks Kelly.
Great comparison Kelly! They both sound amazing, but I guess I’m more of a traditionalist, I prefer the high g on a banjo uke. I have high g and low G on my ukes and find that low doesn’t always suit some songs when strumming, but is beautiful when picking.
Hey Wanda! I kind of like high G all around but there are certain songs that I really like the low G on. I think it has more to do with the style I play where I tend to emphasize the high G a lot
@@fourstringstrummer I tend to play that way also. Next string change, I think I will try to change one of my low G tenors back to high. Not sure if it will work because I had to have the nut adjusted for the low G. 🤞🏻
@@wandam3295 give it a whirl. When I change out to low G I recommend people (that are just trying it) use a wound low G. These can be the same diameter as an unwound string and may not require any widening of the slot.
Great video! I prefer the high G, when I do fingerpicking, it is closer to the 5 string bluegrassy sound.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Perfect Kelly! Thanks for making this video, it is really helpful 🙂 (Jamie)
I like the high G on my banjo uke. It sounds more like a banjo to me. However, I prefer low G on my tenors.
Interesting!
Very interesting. Never thought about low g on a banjoeles. But have to say I am still a high g gal !!
It sounds more like a banjo (which is what I'm after) with high G. Plus, claw doesn't work with low G.
Low g definitely
High G.
high g for me
Me too but I have to say I was surprised how much I liked the low G
Thanks for the comparison. I have low G on one of my ukuleles. I like it, but then I like them all.
@@lturner744 sounds about right to me!
Have you done tutorials on these songs? I would love to learn them!
Hi Sue! Yep! Have a look in the banjo uke playlist on the channel. The two tunes are "The Old Home Place" and "Old Joe Clark"
Like me with my Ohana Ukuleles, I bet she will end up with one of each down the track. :-)
Low G gets me tappIn a little harder but for sure high or low just keep playing🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕
