    Very great teacher and I could learn a lot. I am 84 and have been playing uke for over a year. I just bought a uke banjo and want to learn more. Thank you for what I learned today.

    Hi Pete. Thanks for a very useful and interesting tutorial.
  • Thank you, just starting on a banjo uke, having been playing uke for a while, love it. You are a great teacher. Just what I needed.
  • @surfermikem
    Pete, thanks so much for this... You make a great teacher and a classic banjo sound... thanks for the coaching

    Thank you! I am 64 and have been working on Tenor Uke for over a year now. Getting better, and I want to experience the Banjolele. Great first class!
  • Thanks Ive been learning clawhammer for ukulele and bought a banjolele for that banjo sound. I watch your banjo songs often to get ideas of how you use your right hand so it's great to see a tutorial for banjolele. I like how you embellish around the chords with the fretting hand. Simple but sounds good for a beginner to try

    This was really cool. Learned something new (frailing). That makes this a most successful day for me. Thanks!

    Many thanks for your banjolele tuition; NOW I can start on Frailing with my home built (by others) banjolele. Glad to see even the tutor can make the minor errors and re-thinks whilst instructing us . Love that you take it slowly for we novice "frailers".

    Pete, the demo of using hammer-ons at 5:00 to get the classic banjo sound was very helpful. I had watched lots of other tutorials that show right hand technique but was frustrated because doing clawhammer on a chord without that left hand technique doesn't sound like a banjo. I love folk, bluegrass, and old timey music, learning basics on a travel uke for campfires. If I ever get good I'll buy a banjo uke or banjo so I can jam with others.
  • Hi Pete! Just found while searching for some banjolele tips! Nice to meet ya! Thanks for the video!
  • @petreeuk4439

    Thanks mate, watching from Tasmania,Australia . Your nice clear instructions has given me some things to work on. A couple more banjoele focused videos would be great. Cheers

    Hey, thanks so much for the great video. I'm about to pick one up for myself. Have watched several other videos, but quite like the sound of yor instrument. What kind of banjolele are you playing, and what kind of strings? Anything else I should know? Oh, one thing I might mention is that you may want to have a look at tuning your head. It's the same process as tuning drums. You tap all around as you tighten, eliminating the unwanted dissonant ringing. As you know, some people just "put a sock in it", but I rather like the resonance of the head, so would simply take the time to tune it... In any case thanks again for the video and keep on frailin'!
  • Love this.....I was trying to frail and hammer on at the same time...but I think as I am just starting out I should first get comfortable and fast with the frailing first and then work on adding the fun hammer on notes after....great video....thanks!
