That is the perfect song for the birds being happy in the background, and Belina and the other chickens hanging out with you! Love the wheelbarrow and straw too!😂 Glad you're feeling better!
Many people try to say this as a braggadocious type thing but you must realize that almost every single person who ever did music did it by ear before the notes were written down and put into words😂
John Denver would be honored! Thanks for sharing! FYI: The chords for the bridge ("I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me ...."): Em - D - G ; C - G - D ; Em - F - C- G; D .... D7. As for hearing the right chords, it's just that you have to listen and practice. And listen especially to the same instruments that you play, yourself.
My Dad taught me by ear. Now today, my teacher says I have a remarkable ear. So in pursuit of patience, I will put prayer to you practice. As you embrace listening for chords, the facility for re-creation on the neck will, I promise, incrementally build until it all opens up when the boys and I arrange a new song for worship, we have a good ol' time hearing in our minds and bring consensus, accord, lol to our charts. Keep picking! Sounded great!
I’m glad to hear you are over your cold! I’ve always wondered what this song would sound like on the banjo, but I never looked it up! It’s so sweet so many people are sending you so many nice hats!!! 🦔🌷🤍
I was just about to miss Fretless Friday this week until you finally posted Phoebe! So happy to see you getting better after that cold. Cheers and take care!
Your fretless playing is very cool, and the chubby birds walking around too! For identyfying chord changes what worked for me was to listen and learn a lot of music, so you can relate the intervals on the chord changes between the diferent pieces. Greetings from Argentina!
I found that I play guitar much better when I become part of the song. It's hard to describe, but when I end the song, my heart is going like crazy! When I just play it without emotion, it's not as good.
Thank you, Phoebe. I just remembered playing 'Country Roads' on guitar in an Elective Class in High School. We played chords. You played the melody. I like your version better. Long time, no see with Squidward. The Sparrows provided fair backup for volunteers. Take your vitamins. Eat nutritious food. Get regular exercise. Stay hydrated. Get plenty of rest. Be Well.
Querida Phoebe. Me alegra que estés mejor del resfriado. Muy bueno Country Roads. Espero que sigas buen y me encanta el pollo negro es re simpático. Saludos 🪕🎶✨️🇦🇷
Adding this to the plethora of covers of this song I have saved in my favs on here. Such an emotion spuring song and I'm glad you added your take to it. Sorry you were sick and glad you are feeling better. Keep hydrated and safe JIC though. Also, I agree. Awesome outfit in general and for recovering. You look so cozy. 💛 I need to say ..never been to West Virginia but I don't need to to tear up at this. Cali has always been home but I think that's the main unifyer for this. Just makes you reminisce about that comfort and what home is to you. Also my parents are from upstate New York originally and we used to visit every summer growing up. It was very rural out where my grandparents lived. An old farm on the side of the mountain. Nearest neighbors are a half mile away and those are relatives. Forest borders the clearing the house is built on on one side and resumes across the road on the other. Two lanes and no enforces speed limits. At the very bottom is a swamp with mud dwelling fish and an abandoned railway running through we offroaded on once. There's a small pond out past the barn. The area is pitted with cold water running gorges and cataracts. My grandmother and parents met in the one room schoolhouse in the town over. The house was built by my grandfather between my grandmother's parents house and her brother's house. My grandfather's family farm is visible across the valley on the side of the mountain opposite. I've only been maybe once in almost 20 years. I do miss it a lot at times and this song really captures that sentiment.
I find myself slightly envious of your surroundings - though mine aren't at all bad (Colorado). I love that you are a huge fan/player of 'porch music '.....me too! Kudos, and I love your feed on here!
Nice rendering of Country Roads! My "trick" for trying to find the right chords is try to play the melody and see which notes seems more important. They are probably eihther the chord base of the three or five in the chord at that part of the melody. Then just play those "guesstimated" chords and try to hear if and where something sounds wrong and try to fix it.
After I get done editing, I've watched my video so many times that I don't want to watch it again for a while. When my viewers ask questions on videos, I did 3 or 4 years ago and have to watch it again to see what they are asking sometimes.
to be heard Saturday 11/16/24 on Radio Soleil (2-6 pm) with Toots Hibbert "Country Roads" from "A Reggae Session" we are from Little Haiti, Brooklyn, N Y
We often have sessions where we play three or four Denver tunes in a row after someone asks for One.... McCarthy AK used to have a Denver Folk Festival every summer after he came for a visit. Don't know if they started it back up since the plague. Chords will come with playing often.
Great fretless today! Your audio/video tools are great. Couldn’t even tell you were being backlit because your tones looked good. Audio nice and clear as well.
I can't hear chords either. I suspect that with the most perfectly patient coach taking me through it at my own pace, MAYBE I could get there, but meanwhile... nope. I mean, I HEAR them, but I don't recognize them by name/function. Still, good to have goals - keep us posted as you do more with that. Also, while I can recognize melodies by ear, my ear is notoriously sloppy and when I need to actually transcribe something accurately (like from a youtube video) I a) slow it down and b) go over bits of it, singing the notes, sometimes counting up or down step by step! But I LIKE it, so I keep at it!
Hearing the chords just takes practice, to train your "ear" (brain). Rick Beato has an ear training course that can help with hearing intervals, chords, etc. Happy that you are recovering from your recent affliction. Happy Fretless Friday! :-D
Great Fretless Friday this week ! Great song choice played beautifully. I've made the jump from clawhammer ukulele and just purchased a 5 string Banjo so any learning tip would be great. I'm going to enjoy the journey 🎉
I only played single note instruments so I can play a melody by ear but mystified about chords. Sorry, no help. Thanx Phoebe, your garden looks great. Martin London UK
From The Andy Griffith Show: “Never Hit Your Grandma With a Big Ol' Stick,” That made Charlene Darlin cry, and "Dooley." Not exactly a request, but an idea 💡
"Crack a cold one!" 😂 I've found that sometimes near the edges of being/getting over a cold, sometimes your brain can be a little unfocused, which I find sometimes lets me not overthink playing music. It makes the Feel play more. *shrug* What do I know? I'm old, and it's early on the Right Coast. Just in my second cup of coffee. The mic must be good. The birds were audible, even a little loud, the whole time but the banjo voice came through right out front.
Phoebe, you're being awfully dangerous with playing all my favorites as of late. I think it's settled, you're making this guitar player go and find a banjo. This also makes me wonder how City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie would sound on the fretless. God Bless and thank you for all you do!
omg that's all I drink now(bubbly soda)grew up chugging sugary and corn syrupy unhealthy concoctions and trying to reverse that trend, awesome good for you, and is good for you also.
So glad you are feeling better, Doc! Great dose! Have you taken a class in music theory? Learning the relationship between chords may help you better identify them by ear. I have to go back and watch some of the longer videos you have done lately. It has been a busy time for me. I love what you do and love you, Doc! God bless you and your family! ❤❤❤❤❤
Good stuff! Don't know anything about chords but I am a photographer and know something about composition and lighting. The lighting and presentation was fine on my end. Great background singers too!
So happy you're feeling better and you sounded great this Fretless Friday as usual you lifted my spirits and made my weekend look brighter. It is hard to hear the chords while you are playing, A suggestion - tape yourself then listen for the chord changes.
That’s a great song, one of my favorite by John Denver. Reminds me of my childhood riding in my dad old truck, now a days I listen to his music on my Bluetooth speaker on my tractor. By chance do you know Rocky Mountain high? Thanks again.
Phoebe, As a fan I think both your new Guitar & your fretless Banjo sound pretty good. I agree with you though that you need to set up a way to mark frets on your Fretless banjo. Just an idea.?
Wanna know my Friday night routine?? Sip some tea, eat popcorn and graham crackers, and.... watch Phoebe Sanders. I love your playing, I love seeing your smile, it makes me look forward to Friday night so much. Thanks you , p.s I loved this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How old are you anyway??
Phoebe never cut towards your fingers you'll need them ffor playing, as you progress you will find that though a song seems simple you'll think that needs a seventh here , or a minor there because thats what experience does im sure if i played Jazz I'd use 20 chords instead of four or five . The mist will clear eventually. I enjoy your playing 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍
I heard on a couple of videos you opened a PO Box so fans could send items you might enjoy. Where do we find the PO Box? I have a few banjo related gizmos that I'll be happy to send.
@@phoebesanders2487 I expended the video description and sure enough I see it now. Thank you for taking the time to point that out and re-share it with me. I drive home from the LA area on the 27th, so over the 4 day weekend, I should be able to get some things together. I've been down in LA for my company for the last couple of weeks and really need to get back home and get some house cleaning done before December when I have some kin coming into town. Again, thank you for the post and for the great video. BTW: I think you might be a little hard on yourself. I truly enjoyed the fretless version of Take Me Home. I'm really digging the slides and really interesting tones you get out of the instrument! Rock on!
Ha ill be 59 in dec........ and i noticed for the first time just the other day mind you ....that chords ring the same way no matter how high or low theyre played . Thats all i can tell you because im lazy i did not investigate further 🤣 .....but i did notice it finally for the first time ...maybe i will investigate further. So its not the sound of the chord per say its a background ring .... its neat when you first hear it ✌✌
That is the perfect song for the birds being happy in the background, and Belina and the other chickens hanging out with you! Love the wheelbarrow and straw too!😂 Glad you're feeling better!
Woot! Fretless Friday is a tradition! Love it!
Thanks for the fretless Friday. I look forward to them and enjoy them very much.
I spent 30 years singing with top conductors and wonderful orchestras and nobody sussed that I did it all by ear. Get well Phoebe.
Many people try to say this as a braggadocious type thing but you must realize that almost every single person who ever did music did it by ear before the notes were written down and put into words😂
I love this song, love the birds, but most of all, I love the chickens! Great job!!👏
I’m a 50 yr guitarist so I appreciate your talent you did great

Don't fret young lady, you have it going on!
Thank you. You inspire me to play everyday.
The birds just add to the entire 'Country Roads' ambience. Glad you are feeling better.
Love the pretty sweater and hat. Nice playing, as usual.
I’m glad to hear you are over your cold! I’ve always wondered what this song would sound like on the banjo, but I never looked it up! It’s so sweet so many people are sending you so many nice hats!!! 🦔🌷🤍
Been a while since I checked out your channel. Been fretting. Thanks for a fretless Friday.
Ahhh! It’s finally Friday and I can stop fretting. Thanks, Phoebe. You’re a ray of sunshine ☀️
Feliz viernes. suena maravilloso 👍👍🪕🎶👍👍una música muy linda, los pajaritos son el CORO
I was just about to miss Fretless Friday this week until you finally posted Phoebe! So happy to see you getting better after that cold. Cheers and take care!
Glad you're feeling better! I love Country Roads, and the bird choir in the background was singing along with gusto! ❤😅
Phoebe, I am glad you are feeling better. This song was played on the radio when I was a teenager so it is old and I love it!
That's about the coolest banjo I've ever seen.
Great job on the song, also.
Your fretless playing is very cool, and the chubby birds walking around too! For identyfying chord changes what worked for me was to listen and learn a lot of music, so you can relate the intervals on the chord changes between the diferent pieces. Greetings from Argentina!
You're such a good player even your not-quites worked. Loved it. Thanks so much for sharing!
The more I Listen The Better You Are. Lovely !
Life is tough, God is good...your setting is apropos and you are on the mend.
Blessings and Shalom in Him
No frets today. I'm off this weekend. Glad your better phoebe. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful music, love the sound of banjo 🥰
Beautiful job with one of my favorite songs :) Thanks for another awesome Friday!!!
A productive convalescense! It sounds good. I like the drop thumb you work in.
I found that I play guitar much better when I become part of the song. It's hard to describe, but when I end the song, my heart is going like crazy!
When I just play it without emotion, it's not as good.
The loudness of the birds is just right. But I love me some bird noise.
I'm a bird by the way.
Dear Phoebe, never forget: Mountaineers are always free!
I hear you, I've had covid all week and have been the same way! Hope you feel better!
We were sick at the same time. lol the crud going around is no joke. Thanks for the song!
One of my favorite songs.
Great tempo for the instrument. Really cool version of this song. 😁
Wonderful
Very very nice!!!! Love it!
I'm glad you're better.
This just feels good 💯
When I was a kid and all the other kids were outside playing football, I was inside practicing guitar. Now I can kick a guitar 60 yards.
Thank you, Phoebe. I just remembered playing 'Country Roads' on guitar in an Elective Class in High School. We played chords. You played the melody. I like your version better.
Long time, no see with Squidward. The Sparrows provided fair backup for volunteers.
Take your vitamins. Eat nutritious food. Get regular exercise. Stay hydrated. Get plenty of rest.
Be Well.

Not the easiest song on Earth. Well done!

Aaah Calamardo 😅🎉
Chords by ear would be great!
Very cute hat Phoebe! Love your chick, chicks!
Really good considering you said you hadn't practiced. Have you ever watched The Peterson's video on Country Roads?
Thanks for one of my favorite songs! You could try writing down what you believe the cord is as you listen and see how close you are afterwards.
Banjo by Phoebe, backing vocals by the Byrds (birds). See what I did there? 😉 😀
hooray
