Fretless Friday 8- Red Prarie Dawn

[@JimGraham123]

DAMHIK...nylon strings dont work on fretless! Also, fretless is about feel and expression rather than note accuracy. You get peoples feet a-tappin and happiness happens. You are not a concert violinist giving an over rehearsed recital. You are Dr Phoebe giving out your daily dose of banjo, and you have 21.6k patients who are in thrall and travelling with you on this wonderful journey into the mediaverse. You ace it on banjo. You ace it on chickens. You ace it on nodding drinking birds. You ace it on hats.Most of all, you ace it on putting a smile on the face of everyone seeing your vids. Phoebe, you bring joy into people's lives...a rare and precious gift that we all appreciate.

Well said

[@BookOfMormon4GenZ]

I found her channel a few weeks ago and I get there everyday!

[@TheWooTubes]

I never liked banjos until I heard Nylon and Nylgut fretless. I'd say it's a subjective judgement.

[@mrmoose7844]

Didn't hear any lawnmower! Beautiful flowers! Enjoy the chickens. Always a fun time! Thank you Phoebe!!! 80 from Ohio 🐔

[@VictorC-g7b]

It's Phoebe Fretless Friday !

[@chrishushak3562]

or is it Phoebe Phretless Phriday? Either way, her playing and her chickens are a nice way to end the week.

[@Cayoot]

I'm a 62 yo Scruggs style player, and I REALLY enjoy your playing. Also, it gives me real hope to find a (seemingly) wholesome young person as yourself on here showing your talent. I hope when I grow up I can be as talented a banjo player as you are!

[@Kingreddoberman]

I so love fretless Friday with the chickens! Run your strings till it's time to change then experiment any way you please. Girl, you rock!!!!

[@isanewday]

Sounds beautiful! Just the way you have it.

[@johnwilkinson5425]

Fantastic playing, it sounded great and didn't hear the lawnmower.

[@flowerbomber8912]

New outdoor mic? Yes that sounded good.

[@paulyoung5327]

When I'm really tired or stressed I just grab my favorite banjo and sit and noodle around, Not really playing songs just searching for different sounds no pressure just me and my banjo.

[@andrewvavuris8789]

Just what’s needed on a lazy Friday pm. Thanks!

[@latoniasprings]

I think the strings you are using sound just fine. 👌

[@piguy3point14]

"Mellow Tonin' " *snicker*

[@DavidHodges208]

This has begun a listening tradition for me and I very much thank you

[@danlafollette2457]

Happy weekend!

[@panicathedogpark]

I wanna be just like you. Playing folk music outdoors, surrounded by animals and nature, sharing your talents with the world. Life goals 💚

[@samuelwilliams2245]

Very Nice and Nice hat you look very nice

[@monkeyshake3508]

Good pickin! Think those strings are fine.

[@andradenslow108]

Beautiful hat, and love the playing and the chickens! Thanks for brightening my day!

[@xaelath7771]

Nice way to relax before bed - couldn't hear the lawnmower till you finish playing :)

[@danphillips8530]

I just started watching Fretless Friday about 3 weeks ago or so and since then I've heard down to the river to pray on other youtube channels having never heard it before so thank you for that

[@flipinfish]

I'm so old but you darn got my toes a jigglin.

[@johngoodall7097]

So cheery Phoebe and the hens are fun too❤️❤️❤️🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😊

[@daverow49]

Great playing Phoebe!

[@makitor7673]

Bardzo ładne wykonanie i bardzo gustowny kapelusz.

[@piguy3point14]

It's a fine hat.

[@piguy3point14]

Thank you for making the world a better place. #DDoB

[@mauricemcmurry6637]

What a fun fretless Friday! Nylgut strings sound very special. They are best on very lightly built instruments. For a woodtop banjo having a fixed (ukulele type) bridge enhances the unique character of Nylgut. The nut also needs to be modified for Nylgut or Nylon strings as the gauges are very different.

[@darylwatson]

Awesomeness! May your weekend be blessed. Ours is now!

[@johnbolton292]

This makes me happy! In case you've forgotten, God loves you. Jesus loves you. On your journey beware of traps and snares. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

[@heatherburrill]

Great way to start the weekend 😊

[@pauljmeyer1]

Your 'outdoor mike' did a great job filtering out the lawn mower, and I like your grandmother's cloche hat, it's a showpiece.

[@thefool00]

People like you give me hope for humanity.

[@jooei2810]

I cannot understand how KZbin recommended this channel to me but I take my wins and cherish your music Phoebe!

[@mlvogh]

❤ I’m a banjo player too but not fretless! Love what you share with us!

[@rzella8022]

Lovely Phoebe, and the chickens make great ambiance!

[@fordsrestorations970]

Phoebe seems to enjoy the fretless banjo ... now I got to go do my practice.

[@randallalanstewart8283]

Better and better every time I drop in for a listen.

[@williamperkins2160]

Phoebe. I hope you know that your videos bring a smile and an uplifting of spirit to a lot of people. That’s a tremendous gift to give. Thank you.

[@wzardglick]

I could listening every dayon morning

[@nuggetsdad444]

Chickens and banjos. Just the best ever.

[@dougintothesunset]

That was so great. Nice job, great hat, and Squidward too. Thanks for sharing.

[@James-3000]

It just ain’t officially the weekend till I have my Friday afternoon popsicle & soda and watch the latest Fretless Friday! Also: I say try those new nylon strings!

[@daveduncan8004]

We’re all paying attention to banjo playing. We’re not worried about a fashion statement. You look fine the way you are.

[@MartinRaymond-p6m]

Coffee and Phoebe for breakfast ! Great way to start Saturday morning. Love your work. ❤ Perth West Australia

[@sam__304]

As I read breakfast, I thought where in the world are you, then I finished reading your comment. Greetings from West Virginia. Its 9pm here

[@MichaelMiller-ny3rr]

Fret less Friday’s are special... very special like you Phoebe! Great playing! Love it! ❤️

[@edprince9079]

What a nice relaxing looking spot.

[@jovanblom7742]

Nothing to talk about - she's definitely in!

[@SPLENDIDZEN]

For me... you are the queen of fretless bass!!!... Cordial Greetings from Spain!!!...

[@DavidJeffries-d8g]

Whatever you decide about the strings I’m sure you’ll be able to get the best sound out of them. Also another pretty hat! Your Grandmother had good taste!

[@young1939]

Friday being the last work day of the week is always nice to look forward to. Fretless Friday makes it a wonderful experience. Keep up the good work Phoebe. 👍💕♥️

[@morningcoffeepottery5416]

Love your positive energy! Thank you for sharing!

[@shop970]

It's real! It's very enjoyable! Thanks ! You go. Go, go!

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Your slides are definitely getting more precise! I can almost hear your ear yelling at your fingers... "almost... almost.... STOP! " You are hitting your mark much, much more often, and at a much greater rate of speed, as well! You must be practicing in the dark! It sure helps with muscle memory :) I don't know that the nylon strings would work very well with the wooden top. Nylon on a gourd instrument with a skin top would sound really good. Congratulations on finishing Finals. My daughter finished hers this week :)

[@dianegomes7914]

That hat is really great. And loved the mellow tonin’!!! Friday is good for a chicken&pickin’ day.

[@You-cx5mb]

In tune with youself is your own. The chickens was great yea Life is good Give thanks Thanks for the tune up

[@dancochrane617]

You’re always amazing on the banjo regardless of what frets or strings you like. Thanks for brightening my day today ! 😊.

[@zdoublins]

Thank you for your content! Have a blessed weekend!

[@williamsporing1500]

Very nice!!!

[@dalewheat]

Congrats on getting past your finals. Your fretless technique is improving by leaps and bounds. I really enjoying watching you play, especially when I see your hands go into “auto pilot” mode and you start to look around, then focus again when the pattern changes. Always fun to spend a sunny afternoon with you in your lovely garden with your friends. Try all the different strings you want - they don’t last forever, anyway. Nice hat!

[@petramitchell7162]

Wonderful! Thank you 😊 ❤

[@Mr.Ekshin]

NEVER give the audience the "oops, I messed up" look. Ever see a cat trip, slip or otherwise take a spill? They immediately give off that cool air of "Hey... I meant to do that !". The more you watch a blues man play guitar, the more you realize there's no such thing as a "bad note"... they're all just colorful musings that give the song character.

[@enmbiusfantabbles3670]

finals also killed my brain. i'm in the perfect mental state to sit back and listen to some fretless banjo!

[@drumzone5]

I hope you did well on your finals! Love the purple hat!

[@kandlaker]

I Am always so delighted to hear your Banjo music !! 😄

[@ieraa12]

Thanks! A lovely mellow vibe to take us toward the weekend. I don't know enough about instruments to offer input about changing strings, but I do have a soft spot for any opportunity to adventure, so if it seems like it would be fun to try something new, do it! You can always change them back.

[@josiahtheblacksmith467]

Happy fretless friday!

[@andyperkins8620]

Sounded great as usual. Didn’t hear any mowers. Thanks for another Fretless Friday!!!!

[@jooei2810]

This fills me with the same joy as listening to Mozart You are a gem!

[@yeoldfart8762]

I agree with the comment that said play those strings till the wear out and then experiment. You can find KZbins with banjos using Nylon strings. Listen there first. You sounded great.

[@gettingstuffdoneright5332]

Charmed as always, and as always beautiful playing beautiful chickens a beautiful few minutes of escape. Thank you🙏

[@2old4u]

Another Fabulous Fretless Friday!

[@Taipan108]

Very nice! I love your chickens too! Ahoy from Australia.

[@sarcasmhatter595]

These are quickly becoming the sound Friday makes (And congrats on surviving finals!!)

[@xyagold6990]

Phenomenal creatures

[@johnshinn6274]

It’s entirely up to you about the strings. You’ll always do a great job either way and if you don’t like them, you can always go back. Thanks again.

[@MeadowlarkViolin]

Wonderful! Love the chickens too!

[@BigCheeseRumble]

Pretty hat and cute chickens. And you keep getting better on that fretless. Go Phoebe!

[@CharliePonting-ng1hp]

Fantastic as usual - and no lawnmower sound

[@joeladams338]

Thank you so much. I love starting my weekend with you and your chickens. Wonderful song, love the purple hat and the faces you make when you think you hit a wrong note. I don’t hear any wrong notes. You are perfect don’t change. Keep it up.

[@jamesluebben5925]

Hello hens! Hello Phoebe-in-a-hat! Hello Friday banjo!

[@Laboiteatests]

J'aime bien :).

[@GARCKY]

Very nice, indeed!

[@xwngdrvr]

Magnificent. Aa is.

[@chrisdierking5108]

I was surprised when you said you lived in Southern California. If I had to make a guess I would have said, "inside a Miyazaki film."

[@CharlotteHall-wi5zu]

The strings you have sound great! I wouldn't change a thing!

[@jooei2810]

Thank You!

[@Martyrium5]

This is my favorite channel on youtube❤

[@deanjollow2892]

You play great . Sounds like a Angel playing. Keep up the great work

[@LighthouseGospelBand]

Beautiful Playing! I enjoy seeing the chickens come in and out of view! I have 2 pet roosters that I rescued, and they love me to play the banjo for them, they'll crow along!

[@_JD3]

That was a jammin tune 🌝

[@hbg423]

Love your style. Thanks
