  • We hit 10k!! And we're almost to 11k! Wowee! Hope you enjoyed this q and a, sorry it took me so long to actually make this video, but better late than never! As I said in the video, I'm deeply grateful for all your support, and excited to see what the coming years hold!
    By the way, I was going to do a banjo cover of Billie Jean, but I didn't have the time to take on such a large project, so maybe that will be the 20k special...

    Onwards! Should negative comments appear, just play banjo until you can't hear them. I think that's how it works.

    I think that the reason you get such nice comments is that, rather than creating a web personality, what we see seems to be the real Phoebe Sanders which is really refreshing.
    The first album I ever bought was The Best of Marcel Marceau. What a sucker I was.

    In the words of the brilliant and zany Devin Townsend, “your vibe attracts your tribe.” Your enthusiasm and whimsy gives us all a few minutes of bright cheeriness, it’s nice to see a positive loop forming-the world needs more of that.
    Plus, you have (had?) a propeller hat. That’s enough to put you in the winner’s circle right there!

    I just stumbled across your videos today. I was immediately hooked. Amazing playing. The Great Remember (Extended) was really enjoyable - TWICE. I enjoy your own flair added to any pieces you play - your rhythm, softening your tone here and there, your improvs - all very enjoyable. I wish I'd known of you before. Keep it up! You have a new fan. :)

    QUESTION -- Is the "Drop Thumb" Banjo method of playing the same as the "Clawhammer" method? Before his passing, I occasionally heard Uncle Josh Graves, the Dobro player, speak of the "Drop Thumb" method that he said his Uncle used to play.
    I am glad people like you keeping the Clawhammer Banjo Alive. THANK YOU Phoebe.

    A friend gave me an old cheap banjo years ago. It was so cheap the neck was made of pressboard. I made another neck for it and fooled around with it for a while. I was never fond of the fret markers I made. I need to redo the neck and learn a few more songs on it now that I'm retired and have the time. I like the old-timey, nostalgic sound of clawhammer.

    I don't know Phoebe, some people kind of observe other people and need to be part of the crowd or have company all the time, and other people are just as they say "comfortable in their own skin". I wish I could have a long recording of you because it would be great background music for doing anything, Check out Gerry Garcia's "Shady Grove" album he has some great tunes on there. I hope to see you live one day-get over to NYC (I'm in NJ lol). All good things in all good time. I'm happy because I've only seen like ten of your videos and know there are more while you are adding more.

  • @edrushbrook
    @edrushbrook 5 месяцев назад +1

    I always say that there are no sad songs on a banjo. Maybe that’s why I like your channel because of your positivity. I am trying to learn clawhammer style at 73 but it’s hard to train my brain. I did come up with a song when I dropped the D string to C. At least I hope it’s original, but I’ve heard so many songs in nearly 3/4 of a century.

You were the first banjo channel i found and i’m so glad you were because of your energy and enthusiasm for the instrument, keep up the good work.

  • @joeanderson8839
    @joeanderson8839 2 месяца назад

    I read music but it is easier for me to learn by ear. I suggest that you learn to play in every key. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Claw hammer is good to know, but you should study as many different techniques as you can. The more versatile you are, the easier it will be for you to get work. I also love Sam Cook. Just remember to put your heart and soul into everything you do and you will be loved by all. Well actually you can't please everyone. But you can do what needs to be done. You are a good person. Don't ever give up.

    Sam Cooke! Arguably the best soul singer of all time although there are many many greats. I was listening to him just this morning to put me in a good mood. Funny story, I spent a couple seasons working in the kitchen at a residential retreat center in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York, and I brought my Sam Cooke CD in and we played it in the kitchen on repeat so much that the female sous chef got sick of it, but me and my buddy Ron (the only black guy in the community at the time) loved it so much we just kept on playing it. She even went as far as to take the CD and hide it from us one morning, and I knew what she was doing because I had done the same with a House of Pain CD that was in heavy rotation the previous season. Not to be deterred I just plugged my iPhone into the aux cable and played the whole album anyhow. When the sous chef came in from her break and heard it playing she was perplexed, and finally she asked, “Wait a minute, how is this playing?” I turned and looked up at her and said, “Spotify my dear,” and the whole kitchen erupted into laughter.
