Fretless Friday 29- Salt Spring

[@sarabellaiac]

Phoebe!!! My first banjo arrived on Wednesday! Hooray!!!

[@chrishushak3562]

Banjos are like potato chips - you can't just have one.

[@MrJRW1]

⁠@@chrishushak3562😂 that's the truth!

[@ViolinistGL]

Welcome to the family!

[@michaelallen434]

I love that I get to start my weekend with such a cheerful and kind person and wonderful music. I can stop fretting now!

[@MatthewHaney-t6q]

Fretless Friday with Phoebe (and some chickens)! You can't go wrong with that! Great song Phoebe!

[@susansanders9159]

You did mighty well with this on the fretless!!!

[@The_Immanuelist]

An overambitious tune on a fretless friday! What could be more perfect. and Progress over perfection now... You make those slide notes sound better every time I hear you play. I never considered going fretless before and now I am eager to be fret free!

[@young1939]

Yep! Here I am listening to the fretless banjo on Friday. Thanks always Phoebe. 😇💕👍

[@MichaelBCoats]

Dr. Phoebe, another great dose! Much love, and God's blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zackbean2149]

Beauty comes in many forms. Phoebe then the fretless banjo. Mucho Fantastic. You are reallly Fun. So are your String small farm. Lovely.

[@garyfrombelfast3521]

Terrific! Where else can one find both fretless banjo and a molting chicken! Keep up being you. 😊

[@p5gBand]

I love this song because it always brings a smile to my face. Great job Phoebe and thank you. Keep 'em coming.

[@d.randal.h]

Very enjoyable fretless Salt Spring. I'm not sure I've ever heard it played on fretless before, but it fits - especially the slides into the chord progression in the chorus.

[@richardofsylmar]

Thank you. I sure needed a fretless Friday. I just sat back, soaked it all in and enjoyed every bit of it.❤️

[@Sujowi]

I’m 1 centimetre into my first cup of coffee and have come to spend it with you and your music and moulting chickens. It’s almost 10 am in New Zealand on Saturday and Fretless Friday is a nice way to enjoy a weekend cuppa! Those slide passages are tricky, as is accidentally switching from major to minor mode. Pretty tune, pretty hard, pretty good all round!

[@vitreousphantasm]

Love fretless Fridays so much!

[@KenneyCmusic]

I live near Salt Spring Island where John Reischman named this tune after! He’s a Vancouver Island local. Great playing Phoebe!

[@petehealy9819]

As always, a beautiful setting, and I really liked your approach to the tune. The repeating descent to a minor chord caught my ear. Sounded like one of your strings was sliding out of tune, but I do hope you share this one with us again as you develop it further. OK, time to go look at the Northern Kentucky sky! Thank you, Phoebe! 🙂👍

[@piguy3point14]

The minor tone creates a tension against the root/major that feels like it has to be resolved.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Happy days Phoebe ❤ lots of love to you and yours hun 🎉

[@DrChrisSaffran]

Love your bucket almost as much as this beautiful rendition of Salt Spring!

[@Harbinger999-sz4ni]

Never Frett Forgetfulness on Friday, Thanks Phoebe

[@scraft1222]

you are awesome I love your pure and honesty

[@drumzone5]

Still waiting for that tour of your shed/office!

[@paulyoung5327]

Thank you Phoebe it is inspirational just watching you and always nice to see where you are going to set up next enjoyed the whole arrangement. An excellent way to end my day and week. Frail on!

[@ruysclan]

Very lovely! Enjoy that lovely sunny weather! The sky for me is bright, fluffy, and silver

[@Gevedon]

Awesome! Molting is a rough process, our chickens seem to do it altogether at the same time!

[@thegniffen4645]

I often beat myself up right after I get done recording it’s an issue that’s difficult to avoid but try to avoid it if you can. You’re doing great keep it up. Never stop. You rock!

[@here-right-here]

I haven't been playing my fretless at all, lately. You just insipred me with this song. Feeling like playing now. Thank you! 🤓

[@jasons6491]

Thanks for making my Friday a fretless one, and glad to see another appearance of Bucky the Bucket!

[@MichaelOliver-ry7fj]

French fried funtacular! Fe, fi, fo, fum, I see a Giant of The Strum.😅😊🎉

[@michaelsommers2356]

The sky in my area is, and will be for the next six months, a nice uniform gray.

[@boogiemorgan]

Beautiful as always sweetheart, and I love your playing! You don't have to make any excuses to me, I play an instrument too! LU 🌹❤️🌟🪕🥰♾️🌴🏖️🦩🇺🇸

[@michaelsommers2356]

This was a very nice version of "Salt Spring". Not that it wasn't perfect, but nobody expects perfection, not just from you but from anyone. Absolute perfection is inhuman, and would ultimately sound very wrong. If, by some chance, you ever do hit a wrong note, not that you ever would, just call it improvisation.

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

THIS IS THE CREATIVE PROCESS!!! 🎉 You have given me a great time on the ride home from buying groceries. Fabulous! Did you say "modal"...Shady Grove in Dorian tuning.

[@Aaron71304]

Most adorable look and pleasant presentation.

[@talkingtomusa4862]

thanks for the tune. all the best to you and yours. may nothing be bent, broken or missing. may you only increase. 😁

[@johncourtney4226]

Love Phoebe Friday

[@Backkanal]

Me too.

[@piguy3point14]

​@@BackkanalIt's become a pretty large group!

[@scraft1222]

I see clouds opening up to reveal what's really going on behind the puffy illusion, nice

[@rabendranath]

I hope you have a great weekend Phoebe!! Cheers!!

[@AllenGarvin]

There were... a few questionable notes there (it's part of the fun!), but shifting is so hard on a fretless and you totally nailed around 3:40!

[@landonhall1852]

It's called a mode. When you change from A major to A minor (I think Dorien is one too)

[@Liam-nn4kx]

You had me at G-tuning!

[@Nitenichi100]

Thanks!

[@phoebesanders2487]

Thank YOU!!

[@martinbarnes6853]

Fantastic! I can't play anymore due to both hands being injured. Thank you making an old fart happy

[@danoconnell1833]

Thank you, fretless Phoebe. Good job with a challenging tune.

[@Retro6502]

Happy Friday, Phoebe, Salt Spring is such a great tune! I learned it a few years ago at a folk music workshop and always love hearing it. Chording on a fretless is impressive! Were you thinking of changing mode? I've never played a banjo, but you're gonna get to me to buy one! lol

[@Ivearted]

Hello from Minnesota!!!😎👋

[@stephenworthington8508]

ALL GOOD FUN YOU TAKE CARE...❤

[@thegniffen4645]

Happy Friday!

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

Hiya Phoebe, well played. How's the shed? Glad chickens are as uncooperative as ever . Heheh Martin London UK

[@yeoldfart8762]

Very relaxing. Thanks!

[@johnsmithSongbird]

God bless you phoebe I hope all is well Keep playing the banjo

[@hammingdad1]

I have loved this song since the first time I ever saw the John Reichmann performance. You did not butcher it. It was excellent!

[@jimmycampbell4639]

Been waiting all day THANKS

[@duvan_cubides]

I love your Music !

[@lawrencevandenberg7725]

Birds liked it!

[@orphee8175]

i'd like so much have your weather, in France, it's raining and cold :'(

[@billmumbo2697]

Sorry for your loss Phoebe I lost my two cats a year ago they were 15 one died suddenly and her sister pined for her till she passed nothing would bring her round so sad still miss their fighting and wrestling.

[@WarrenFloyd-xr2js]

Beautiful playing 😎👍

[@garycarlton3877]

I like it.

[@iamleejohnson_]

I need to learn this song! Sounds super uplifting on the fretless

[@mightydorchux]

Well done!

[@randallalanstewart8283]

Lovely, mistakes and all, keep up the good work!

[@JohnThomas-du5vc]

I think you did pretty good Phoebe, I have a question & that is how often do you end up drinking your coffee cold instead of hot? & Also you said that you were still in School , Are you in your last year of High School and what do you plan on doing after you graduate? . P.S. I enjoy listening to you play your Banjos.

[@daverow49]

I love it! :)

[@martingruffalump5484]

😊😊😊

[@chicagolee]

Play on, Phoebe

[@RatMom5403]

I always feel like youre looking for recognition in these videos, and I always wish I could be there in person to listen to intently and just be there to help you feel recognised! I also noticed since the last time I saw one of your videos (probably a couple months?) that youre in a new spot! it looks gorgeous

[@samuelwilliams2245]

Nice

[@ralphcopas]

enjoyed the performance

[@TimEmmerich]

What you were trying to remember to tell us is the name you chose for the banjo playing pumpkin guy that you made!

[@anthonygallegos4342]

Nice hat.

[@anthonygallegos4342]

A hay wagon!

[@_andrewvia]

Do you host parties / get-togethers in the breezy building behind you? Do you play to entertain the guests? How can a person get invited?

[@robertbussard6155]

TGIFF!

[@AlanBrown-yg7rl]

I think you did that one on your beautiful gourd banjo?

[@amandasanders1141]

Yes, Salt Spring on the gourd banjo was the Phoebe video that made me want to learn banjo!

[@crazylegoman]

I felt bad when I clicked the thumbs up like thing on this video, because it made the like count go from 665 to 666, but hopefully more people will come along and make the like count a non-evil number.

[@stuartclifford8795]

Great fretless again, even the minor notes. 😃. By the way the sky in England is rubbish 😂. I noticed in the background there is something that looks like a chicken coup on stilts. Is that a bat box or something? Thanks for making me smile again. 🙂🪕

[@Laboiteatests]

Hi Phoebe, I'm from France, and I was wondering if for a future video you could play the old song "Goodbye Liza Jane"? I particularly like the Fiddlin' John Carson version. 😊🪕

[@RatRod150]

Hence forth, you and your followers are hereby barred from fretting about any mistakes you have made or may make on Fretless Friday. So let it be written, so let it be done.

[@John-Smiley-Garrett]

If you don't try to exceed your normal limits, you'll never get better! Great version of a wonderful song. And what are sparrows for, if not to provide background sound for a banjo picker?

[@christineweatherford5852]

Phoebe where did you get that adorable banjo?

[@futuredirected]

They’re not ‘songs,’ they’re ’tunes.’ This has been a public service announcement from a crusty old banjo player. Nice key shift. An advanced move. Shh. 🤫 Thank You for the break, Phoebe. I’m not fretting. ❤🪕❤️

[@JK_anyday]

I was gonna comment something but by the end of the video I forgot what it was

[@VictorC-g7b]

Pheobe will you 🎶 celebrate Halloween 🎃 ?

[@jaybolland6595]

If I wanted to send you a banjo, where would I send it?

[@eudaenomic]

I can tell by your facial expression whether you are having difficulties.

[@jimicrack29]

arrrrrrrrrr coffee drinker why?????? me i like water or warm beer will you be my friend

[@tussk.]
