  • Happy Friday! This was a really fun one, I enjoyed trying to put as many slides as possible into it at the end. I'm not sure what was so fascinating about my pants to Toto, but she really made a mess of them haha. This was an extra special episode because we got dogs AND chickens in the same video! We were all loving the sunshine.
    I think I needed to be a bit closer to the mic, I noticed in the beginning that the banjo sounded really quiet compared to my talking. I'll get this figured out one of these days!
    I'm in G tuning here.

    For some reason this Fretless Friday’s song takes me back to a simpler time when massive chocolate chip cookies floated around and people ate flowers. Oh. You got the lucky chicken poop. Why don’t you leave the strings as they are and get a nylon neck? Another great Fretless Friday. That fretless does produce a very unique tone. You may find ways of implementing that sound similar to how a lap steel guitar complements a standard guitar. It looks as if you may be entering into a Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club phase. Thank you for all of the smiles. Have a great weekend.
