Walk around Canberra ACT Speedway Stadium - Fairburn Forrest - Looks closed down
Просмотров 1575 лет назад
Took a ride out today to check out a few options for testing my bike and explored the ACT Speedway Stadium. The speedway is situated on Pialligo Avenue Fairbairn Canberra ACT. The location is between the Canberra Airport and Queanbeyan but to be honest looks pretty much abandoned given the state of it and the lack of updates on their website and socials. The track is in a sorry state.

Took me a while to find it and was heavily secured with cameras but finally made it to the old Tralee raceway or what's left of it. Tralee Speedway opened in 1970 and was a "D" shaped oval made of a dolomite and clay mix. Many types of cars raced at Tralee - super modifieds, Sprintcars, Speedcars, three quarter midgets (TQs, later to be named Formula 500s), stock cars, Solos, Sidecars, and prod...

    Hi there. Thanks so much for teaching. I am so wanting to know how to tune my banjo ukulele to make it sound higher like George Formby did. Mine is tuned to G C E A. BUT, how can I tune it upward sound wise - to A D F# B ? I am wondering what the # means?? Thanks so much for any answer sir. My name is Bruce, I am in eastern Canada. Where are you?

    • @benfrost91
      @benfrost91 10 месяцев назад

      Hello there, the # means ‘sharp’. So the Formby tuning being taught here requires ‘F sharp’ on the 2nd string. If you get yourself a chromatic tuner you will be able to tune into F# very easily. Or in other words, find F, and then tune up one semitone (one fret) to F sharp. Hope this helps

    At the moment my banjo uke is at the music shop , for new strings to be fitted. But the technician said he cannot tune it to ADF#B he says the strings are snapping . I am very disappointed , because I wanted to learn George formby music

    • @godsp.a-book7596
      @godsp.a-book7596 5 лет назад

      Not sure if you have used that shop a lot but I would get your Banjolele back ASAP, sounds like they are doing something very very wrong. It’s only tuning up one full note.

  • @kathjordan2497
    @kathjordan2497 5 лет назад

    Hi dan .i took my banjolele to the music shop to have new strings and I asked them to tune it to ADF#B so I get the George formby sound the technician said he tried but the strings kept snapping , it cannot be done. Very disappointed, Any ideas please.

    • @godsp.a-book7596
      @godsp.a-book7596 5 лет назад

      Hi Kath, it really shouldn’t be snapping strings. What is your Banjolele? I use Aquila strings. At the start of this video I run through the tuning so you should be able to get a rough tune from that. It’s only 2 half steps up on each string so shouldn’t be snapping at all.

    • @godsp.a-book7596
      @godsp.a-book7596 5 лет назад

      My advice would be tune your banjolele to GCEA and the go very slowly with a tuner on the G string, should only be half a turn on the peg then repeat for other strings. If you are turning for a while you are missing the 2 halftones and heading for snap town.

      @godsp.a-book7596 5 лет назад

      Hi Kath, try turning to A D F# B. That’s what I use and what George used most the time. Once I started using that tuning it just sang! Make sure your drum is nice and tight too. Let me know if you need any more advice as happy to help. Happy strumming! Dan
