Grandfather's Clock | Bluegrass Ukulele | Dr. Dennis
“My Grandfather’s Clock” was written in the late 1800’s. It tells the story of the special connection between a man and a clock as he experiences childhood, youth, adulthood, marriage, old age and finally death. The music technique of harmonics show how a high tone released from the instrument can sound like a clock chiming.

    I really appreciated the historical explanation. It had never occurred to me that "Buffalo" referred to the place. So many English folk songs refer to jobs like weaving, washing, gutting fish and making nails or brooms, all considered "women's work" that I thought this was either about buffalo hide processing or native American women's clothes, based on Bob Marley's 'Buffalo Soldier' though I think that was actually about African American soldiers :-/

    Hopefully you'll be able to find a "bluegrass ukulele" jam because any real bluegrasser is going to shun you or laugh you out of the jam. Ukulele is not a bluegrass instrument. Just get a mandolin

    I really enjoy all your videos and have been going back and watching a lot of your old and new as im learning to play I'll mention this to you in one of your newer videos because I've noticed you're still not doing this but I think it's manly because you just haven't noticed but could you please lower the camera down just a little as much as we love seeing your face 😊lol and need to, to get your message it would be really helpful if we could see 👀 your fingers 👉 because like in this video 📹 it was little help with the picking because I couldn't tell what you was doing . Thanks so much for all your videos 😊

    Hi, I've discovered your channel this morning after having a slightly crazy idea last night. Kmise have introduced a very reasonably priced tenor banjole. With new uke string technology, I think it could be tuned in fifths like a fiddle, octave mandolin or Irish Tenor banjo, GDAE and the rest is obvious... :-) "Buyer beware", I haven't tried this (yet!) Alternatively, a soprano uke has the same scale length as a violin and I've seen videos of that in action.

    Hello there... I am wondering if your 6 month course is also for Banjolele? And also if it is for beginners? I have never played a stringed instrument before (I took piano lessons like 11 years ago but haven't played an instrument since then) so I was wondering if I would be a good candidate for your course? And I love bluegrass music and love the sound of picking and would love to learn how to do that!
