the greatest thing about playing in beetles is that you can play here, there and everywhere
Brilliant 😀
Hahahahaha
It wasn't a Beatles song! 🤣
Ooh, I wish I had Maxwells Silver Hammer.
Ok, take the upvote.
My best friend in high school had a 1957 Beetle. He didn't have a starter for over a year. We parked on hills when we could. But I still ended up push-starting that car more often than not. I suspect that my arms are at least two inches shorter today because of those push starts. Fond memories.
Love that you are so young but appreciate nostalgia
Manual transmission will never leave you stranded 😊
I love how this is a mixture of American bluegrass banjo with a little Indian sitar influence. This is awesome!
@@Seacrestered I like that, too! 😀
That there's the best banjo pickin' from the back of a Beetle I've heard all week!
If it has strings, josh makes it sing!
Can you do 'a bouzouki in a Suzuki' next please?
'A fiddle in a fiat' would also go down well..
Mandola in a Corolla.
Play some Mozart in a go cart?
@@chrisw5742 Tremendous! Vivaldi in an.. Audi?
@@adewebbmusic7488 Bongos in the Congo?
Push start... as I am an old guy, you give me hope for our future! Keep making the music too!
I had a truck I would always try and park on a hill.
Well-played clawhammer is such unalloyed joy. It makes you want to dance, but at a slow mellow pace. You can see so easily how it kept the mountain folks entertained of a Friday evening.
Banjo signed by Béla Fleck, very nice! I saw him open for the Punch Brothers at Clowes Memorial Hall last December. Fantastic show.
That is a real Beetle, with the rear engine, air cooled engine...The easiest manual clutch to get used to....Oh and great to hear you play banjo, Josh. It adds a lot of character to any song.
The ambient noise frames the music perfectly! Waves crashing while kids play in the back ground and their parents converse. This really was the perfect setting for this!
joke :
Josh left his banjo in the back set and took off the view the sun set . After an hour or so it happened, he got to see a beautiful sunset! It was at that moment he realized he left the windows down and the banjo in plain sight ! Josh loved that banjo , and an hour or longer left in plain sight for everyone to see . (' I Hope Noone Has Stolen it ! ') he thought as he ran back to his VW bug. He makes it back and is breathing heavily as he looks in the back set and sees...
Another four Banjos . LOL
Your awesome Josh . Thanks for the entertainment all the years.
1st car that I helped completely rebuild from the crankshaft out was a 1957 black hardtop Beelte, did it in 1971-72, in my neighbor's back yard. Taught me everything I needed to know about cars until electronic ignition became the standard. It was fun to work on a car born the same year as I.
ah wonderful, the simplisity of a Beetle...look at that dash !
and brings feelings of a more relaxed time- banjo at the beach,
and yes there is the proof - there is room in the back seat of a Beetle
for both a person and a banjo !
...the green shirt, the warm yellow sunshine sunset
So cool! I'm listening to this in my 1974 VW campervan in a rainy Wales. Lifted my spirit with fun sound. My wife says Josh is the only person who can make a banjo sound good😊
There's something you don't see everyday. Fun!
A great by-product of Josh playing banjo is the Steve Martin, Billy Strings and Sierra Hull recommendations the Google Algorithm brings me.
Many push starts of Beetles in my past!
BEETLE! I’ve got a 67 named Blossom. Me and my lady named and share her. She’s amazing and we love listening to your music while driving her. So cool.
Push starting a Beetle brings back memories!
I know right where you are. Close to the camp grounds where we parked our camper year after year. A wonderful park and beach on the great Lake Michigan! I remember as a young lad cruising the park in my 1966 Mustang, listening to The Beatles! Great video, thanks so much!!
Nothing like the echo chamber of the rear of a VW classic beetle! Sweet. Thanks Josh.
While I think the Beetle is nice, I think you really need a bus. And even then, maybe a Westy. My wife and I had a 76’ Green Westy we honeymooned in 85’. We had many great adventures in it. We later traded up to a 87’ Vanagon Westy, upgraded to a subie engine. I still have dreams of driving the green bus. It was like being in a secret club.
Who knew the acoustics in a beetle were this good. Also a lovely bit of golden hour light. Lovely work. 😀
Deja vu all over again... I loved my red VW bug though driving it during the winter in Minnesota was an adventure. It had a gas heater that seemed to have a bit of a leak, so there was always a touch of gas smell in the air... but the heater worked! I loved how small it was which made parking near the University of Minnesota campus easier. The problem was the bumpers were so low that I kept having the front hood crunched. That was a pain in the butt. Thanks for the memories Josh... and for the wonderful music... as always.
Such a pleasure to watch Josh’s virtuosity on so many instruments! Oh, and, yeah, that Bug is really cherry! 😃😃😃
😆🤣😆
It’s an oldie but a goodie!
This’un’s got a backseat and a rear window!
Had a 1971 green VW with a cb radio with a 10 ft whip antenna on the bumper. Looked like a remote control car. The truckers called it a pregnant rollerskate.
VW Käfer - greatest car ever! 🙂 Greetings from Germany! 👋
Great Banjo, Great Artist. Great VW Käfer (Beatle). What a great set up.
It does not speak for the Battery, if it is down after presumably not too long with lights on.
Love tha clawhammer, and this is off the rails! When I first moved to snow country from San Diego, I got stuck in snowdrifts too often. Good thing I drove a bug-i would grab the rear bumper and yank the car free.
Long time fan of Josh and 30 year vintage VW hobbyist. Great car. Yours, or just borrowed for the video?
Banjo in a Beetle, what could be better?! I could listen to you play all day.
I had 2 Beetles. The classics, not the new ones. Loved them both. One was a Superbeetle convertible. The Beetle in this video is beautiful. I love that you know how to push start! That is a lost skill.
Thank you
I had a '62 Beetle during my college days. It still had a 6V system. On a hot day the resistance of the cables was too high for it to start. I did a lot of push-starts of that little beasty.
I checked to make sure I hadn't increased the speed. Nope, it's really that fast! Not only talent in Abundance; but that smile is something else as well. Thanks for the fun video; keep 'em comin'; we love each n every one.
love how he included the beetle as equipment in the technical details
That Beetle is the perfect acoustic setting for a banjo! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵👏👏👏
Wonderful sounds from that banjo! Your video brings back memories of my first car, a '61 VW Bug. It had no gas gauge so while you were driving it would run out of fuel and sputter. Quickly you would reach for the floor and flip a lever, which tilted the gas tank giving you 1 more gallon of gas!
He's so fing amazing!!!
Were you in Michigan?! I would have been so thrilled to happen upon you jamming in your awesome car. 😃
Makes me miss contra at Park Township Hall. Thanks for making the kids dance anyhow
I am a beginner clawhammer banjo player and it's nice to see you playing the banjo. I figured that you did.
I love the banjo but I really love that car. It is fantastic.
Welcome to West Michigan!
I learned to drive stick in the late '70s in a 1964 Beetle, owned by my high school best friend. Unlike you, Josh, I never learned to play banjo in a Beetle. Great video and music!
Bat flattery, it’s a Beetle thing.
Beautiful restoration and that sweet sound sets it off perfectly. 😎👍🍻
Are you still in Holland??? We hung out on that beach, drove an old 65 Beetle, and did many many push Starts! I love your banjo playing and delighted that you shared this with us...I hope you enjoy your stay!!!
Love it. VW's make everything better!
Loved that! My very first car with a 1968 Volkswagen beetle and I adored that thing! And yes… More than once. I started it by coasting downhill and pumping the clutch lol.
Where’s Waldo? Why he’s strumming a banjo in the back of a beetle. Very Nice 😊
So cool! I live just down the road from this beach! Wish I’d been there to listen in person! Haha
Nice: sweet and musical. And the video is (as always) warm and winsome.
Nice banjo work. But also LOVE that classic VW bug too!
Thanks, Josh! 😊
More banjo Josh! I smiled the entire time you played. Plus my first car was a 1968 red Beetle, which I pushed many a time as I too left the headlights on… Duh-oh!
it's amazing how easily you play so many instruments! Congratulations, you are really strong!
Sweet little bug you have there Mr. Turner. Happy bango picking!
Hell yeah, Lake Michigan. Head to the Skee.
Great Banjo play. I had a same coloured Beetle as a first car, used to park it pointing downhill :)
Wish I was there with my guitar to pick some simple rhythm with ya Josh. Great acoustics in that old buggy.
I had a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle. It was red, just like that one. I loved that car! Breaks my heart everytime I think about it. I was basically forced to sell it. 🥺
Love that car, first of all. Your banjo picking is awesome.👍👍🇨🇦
Great playing, thank you, and the lovely VW beetle brought back so many memories of the one we had many years ago. Good thing was that it was the easiest old car I ever had to push start.
Totally awesome banjo!! Love the Ole Beetle too...
vive la coxinelle rouge, bravo Josh, south west of france.
Man that banjo sounds great in your hands - such a pleasure to listen to!:)
I love thé look of your videos! It’s very dream like!
You are a major inspiration too me along with my Grandpa, he would have really liked your music. Seeing someone else who was just as passionate about music as him. Thank you for being such a wonder.
Josh is in unbelievable talent on a boatload of instruments and has a beautiful voice. if he turns up one day playing a pedal steel while singing I`ll have to use the word genius.
What softness and finesse ❤ Thanks Josh!
You are blessed!!
Too fun..." thank you for the visit
Love a Banjo. Always love Josh Turner's music! I do wish I could hear an explanation of why the banjo sounds so SHARP compared to other strung instruments; I feel it in my teeth. Do you ever discuss such things?
Might I suggest doing a James Taylor cover? Maybe Blossom? Or whatever. Loved your sweet baby James with Carson.
Gorgeous VW!!!
Where'd you get the Punch Buggy?
Love it
I think it was a Bug that I learned to drive a stick . I eventually owned one.
Never enough heat in the winter.
But, if the battery died you could always push it or run it down a hill if on one and back in business! Off ya go!
This made me think of the Ben Vaughn CD Rambler 65. He recorded the entire CD in the car
Worth it.
My first car 1969! 👍
You're amazing
Thank you!
love it as always!
Very cool. Your clawhammer is excellent.
Really nice tune, very skillful frailing. BTW, "push-start" is something I've not heard about or seen in a dog's age. I assume you mean keeping it in second gear, pushing down a slight incline and then popping the clutch to turn over the engine.,
Ohhhh next do Gutiar in a car.
Thanks ❣️
Good intro for fake taxi ahah
awesome car, awesome sound
Your playing was exquisite! And the whole setting, the filming, the filters, the audio... it all fit so well.
I got to buy myself a banjo too...
A friend of mine borrowed me his, it's a great pleasure ! I play the guitar and this instrument just brings joy to my life ! I play in an alternative tuning most of the time it goes F#-D-A-B-X. The X stands for the missing string I have haha, it's a 5 string banjo
@@lucasratti How difficult was it for you as a guitarist to switch to the banjo? Is it a steep learninv curve?
@@ILoveMagic15 I wouldn't be able to tell you as I've not really tried to play it properly as a banjo player would, I just strum it and pick it like a guitar. The chord shapes you do have to learn, that takes some time for sure but it's pretty straightforward and logic can help you alongside. For example the chord shapes, you can move a chord up a few frets to get the same chord af few notes up, and identifying the third will make you know the minor or major version of a chord you learnt by raising or lowering the third, so on and so forth. One thing that can confuse you is that the highest string on a 5 string banjo is where the lower string would be on a guitar. Like a uke if you've ever played one. I think you will be fine if you put your mind to it, plus it seems you want it so go for it !
Maybe it wasn't clear what I said about the strings. If you were to look at it while you hold it to play, it goes like:
G(highest note)
D(lowest note)
G(2nd lowest note)
B(3rd lowest/3rd highest note)
D(2nd highest note)
@@lucasratti That makes sense. Thanks!
Holy crap, Josh...you have a bug?! THAT is awesome!! And, that means you can drive a stick (a lost art these days). Very cool
Sort of reminds me of the Black Cab Sessions.
Also, I once saw an empty Beetle push-start itself.
Awesome banjo playing - Billy Connolly would approve especially your hoops top (as a Celtic FC fan). But the highlight for me was your Royal Red beetle. I had a 1303 exact same colour and the end shot was a real throwback memory. Thanks for this ace video! By the way - loved the Paul Simon show in Aberdeen Music Hall, Scotland a few years ago!
Beautiful! And I can't help wondering how many banjo players you could've squeezed into that beetle! 😅
Q: How many banjo players can you fit in a Beetle?
A: Just one. Any more and you'll have a breakdown.
@@sumnerhayes3411 Naw, it woulda been fun to hear those dueling banjos! 😆
Q: How many banjo players can you fit in a Beetle?
A: As many as you want, just don't try to cram in a guitar player with them or you'll have a Flatt.
@@sumnerhayes3411 lol, that struck a chord with me. 👍
One banjo player and the entire Muppet Band
Have you looked into the Clawhammer guitar style that Molly Tuttle uses? I think she even has a few tutorial videos about it out there.
If you're playing (for audiences) in the area, I'd sure like to know! Thank you!
Very nice, I like your music very much, wishing you great continued success !
Better than a beetle in a banjo !
