Lost Girl- Clawhammer Banjo Tune

Lost Girl! I love this tune, and i think it sounds great on this banjo. Fun fact, this is a clip from my first attempt at a mother's day special. The song turned out great, but I felt that sitting on the kitchen counter just wasn't special enough, so I went and set up the whole party scene you saw in the actual special.
The banjo I'm playing is a Bruce Berry banjo; if you wanna check out more banjos like it, head over to these links: website- bruceberrybanjos.wordpress.com/ youtube- www.youtube.com/ @bruceberrybanjos5757 instagram- / bruceberrybanjos

Hi Ms. Phoebe! I’m a new subscriber and my almost 3 year old asks me every day is “Banjo Phoebe” has a new video. She also started carrying around our thrifted children’s guitar pretending it’s a banjo. We love your content!🤠💙

[@bruceberrybanjos5757]

That's awesome!

[@phoebesanders2487]

Aw that's great! Tell her hi from me!!

[@futuredirected]

Lost Girl is one of Your best tunes. Thank You for sharing it. When You don’t mess up a note, anymore, I will miss Your wry smile. Keep on playing, Phoebe. You are wonderful. ❤🪕❤

[@BuddyX74]

That wry smile you speak of is the face of true competence. Knowing you messed up, grinning through it, and continuing on. Phoebe is in for great things. Mr. Scruggs and Roy Clark undoubtedly messed up too, but didn’t let that stop them.

[@Phylonyous]

Total banger!

[@Phylonyous]

Honestly, I respect and appreciate them wry smirts! Just goes to show us that, surprisingly, Phoebe is a human😦

[@futuredirected]

@@BuddyX74 I think for the most part, the “flubbs” happen when she tries a figure and it doesn’t work out. In my experience, the dancers and listeners don’t notice. The smile, though! I love that smile. If she ever plays a tune without at least one, it will be sad indeed. I hope she keeps trying to add those figurative notes. It’s what gives clawhammer its spice.

[@MichaelBCoats]

That's no lost girl, that's my Dr. Phoebe, champion practitioner of banjo! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CoXriX]

Damn. I almost forgot about my daily dose of banjo

[@jimsharrow1950]

Phoebe, great playing ! I don't know how often you review the comments, and I see this is only two hours past. You asked on "Fretless Friday" bout using nylon and nylgut strings on your banjos. Old banjos, gourd banjos, wood top banjos and any banjo that does not have a neck reinforced with a metal truss rod are built to use guy, nylgut and/or nylon strings. Metal strings have less give and greater tension transferred to the neck, and can warp the neck destroying intonation. A banjo with a truss rod can be adjusted to correct neck warpage, and as such can handle the tension of metal strings. You can't go wrong putting nylgut on any banjo though it will sound like a different instrument. If you want to hear the voice of God, put nylgut on your gourd banjo. Years ago I restored a banjo that was over a hundred years old. It took me everyday for a year. And I loved it. But imagine my heart break when I got to a festival only to discover my banjos neck was warped beyond recovery due to the new metal strings I put on it 😢. The truss rod is accessed at the peg head end just behind the nut. It takes only an eighth to a quarter turn with an Allen key to adjust the neck. This should only be done rarely if ever by a luthier or someone who knows what they're doing. Anyway, thanks for reading this far. And remember: nylon, nylgut, ( or gut, which is really temperature and humidity sensitive like skin heads to be a pain) is great on any banjo. And metal strings are for banjos that have a truss rod to counteract warpage (okay, you could use light gauge metal but . . .). Play on girl !

[@happyskating2000]

I would think the wooden soundboard plus synthetic gut strings would be a bit muddy. I have a gourd banjo with a skin head and synthetic gut strings. It’s also fret less.

Thank you, the sun is setting and the cat is snoring and it was just now an excellent time to get my next dose of banjo. Shalom in Him

I like Banjo some but I wouldn't say it's my thing. I didn't listen to it regularly but I keep comong back to your stuff for the last few weeks and I really enjoy it. You are cool.

[@rogermcadams8806]

Your getting better! I can't say much just started this banjo adventure not that long ago so you've been perfect to watch. Gives me encouragement or one of those big words that mean practice, practice, practice.....😂 Honestly Pheobe thanks for being you!

[@user-sp1gw8gz3o]

I’ve always loved the banjo. I bought one as a kid and packed it with me everyday. Never learned how to play. No point of that fact other than I dreamt of playing it. lol. Steve Martin was one of my inspirations. He’s been doing much more than a comedian

[@susansanders9159]

Sounds fantastic! Yay for beautiful kitchen music!

[@polskaman20001]

Thank you for the Tune Phoebe! 😊

[@landonhall1852]

These banjo doses really do make me happy. Thank you

[@brucewagner4394]

Your awesome. I've played instruments. Never became proficient etc. But I know enough the difficulties. So called professional people flub-up .garrentee. don't stop ever. Don't let people get you down because they don't know any better. Or they're just jealous. Soon on your way to Nashville? Or the grand Ole- Opry?😊 Plus I like your smile , and sense of humor ❤

[@jimcrews8951]

Yes, thank you for such entertainment, a wonderful performance. 🎉

[@kencastania4582]

a recording contract is imminent ... nice!

[@robertjoyce5629]

Your music makes me so happy.

[@Judymontel]

What a fantastic tune! Now I want to try and learn a fiddle version. That banjo sounds so amazing, the first thing I did was to scroll down to see if you said what it was in the description (you sure did - thank you!) But also - you are just getting better and better, you know?

[@mikemarak2613]

Thanks for sunshine on a rather dreary day hear in Connecticut 👍😊

[@smadaf]

That was fun! I'm gonna listen again, right now.

[@daverow49]

Wow that is very lively. Got my foot tapping straight away. You play banjo with finesse and passion and that stands out. Keep doing it because you will be more famous than you already are!

[@spectartacus]

Haha, brought a smile to my face

[@phillipcowan1444]

I hit the like button before you were even halfway through. Great pickin'. Lovely smile.🙂

[@loydhenderson6945]

Everyday is indeed very special. Just came across your channel and saw you playing your banjo. The video put a big ol smile on my face. Just what I needed to hear. "Cool beans"! 👍😙

[@edprince9079]

I am sure glad you are on youtube. I love to hear you play. Plus the chickens and stuff.

[@seadawg93]

Awesome! I’ve been enjoying this channel for a while now, but last week I actually got a banjo as a birthday present and I’m learning. Can’t do anything like this yet …but I’m working on it!

[@SibeDad]

Some one let you in the house...no shed or chickens🤗

[@jesseheadluthierie]

The Bruce Berry banjo is perfect for that song 😍

[@timothywalker4563]

I am enjoying the good doctor’s music keep on picking 😊

[@young1939]

You sure can play that banjo. Wonderful! 😇😇😇

[@IronHideWildfire]

[@danlafollette2457]

Thanks for sharing your talent with us! It brightens my day!

[@carmanmacbain5976]

great picking and a real banjo you cant ask for more.

[@molotulo8808]

Im 64 and an inspiring musician l, so I subscribed! My son is 26 and wants to start playingva banjo. I guess i should just buy him one. I just started playing violin back in April '24. Never to old to learn to play an instrument. Just makes one regret not starting sooner. Better late than never!

[@jaydeehere1918]

Awesome. Cheers from the Canadian Rockies l*l .

[@nerdgarage]

Looking and sounding better than ever on the holiday. Keep em coming.

[@softwhere07]

You and that banjo sound terrific! 😎 Well done!

[@robertbussard6155]

I'm so impressed with your progress!

[@jaredshaw8163]

What a fun tune, I really enjoyed it! Thank you 🙂

[@NiallMor]

Nice one! I loved it.

[@randomdestructn]

I just learned this one the other week. Fun tune to play, especially with fiddles. I love the melody of the B part. I might have to try your fretting of the second string at the third fret in the A part. I've been doing it as a pull off on the first string, based on Allison De Groot's playing in a clifftop vid here on youtube.

[@williamnye478]

Well done, Phoebe! You get better all the time!

[@chrishushak3562]

Not a lost girl - she is right here on my computer playing banjo. It's one of the hats that has gone missing.

[@sebas5688654]

Ты просто мастер!

[@austinoblambino]

A master at work

[@martingruffalump5484]

😊😊😊

[@user-mi5gj4lp6k]

My God Phoebe! how much do you practice anyway? The fella gave you that banjo knew what he was doing.

[@PhotographyCol]

Great playing 🎉🎉🎉😊

[@databoy2396]

Wow, you killed it! You sound amazing on this tune!

[@JimGarver-tx8rj]

Thanks. That was fun to listen to a tune I never heard before.

[@gnarlycharlie7964]

I know it might be simple but I would love love love for you to play my blue heaven, it’s become one of my favorite songs over the last few weeks and I’m sure you’d just knock it out of the park. Killed this one!

[@buddyzilla4557]

Think this is the first time ive seen your head uncapped! Last week the thimbnail made me thing the brown cap was your hair and made me real thrown off for a second but this time its the real thing. Shorter than mine and a lot more controlled. If i dont have it tied back or a sweat band on its all up in my face! 😂 Glad yours is more managable so you can play so nicely unbothered. 💛

[@michaeltellurian825]

Very nice!
