Thanks SO much!! Much appreciated! Kelly

[@Lukerides11EGC]

Been playing a uke for almost 2 years. Got an Aklot Banjo Uke 6 weeks ago and I’ve been practicing your strumming techniques daily. Thank you for all these great videos!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Luke! Great to hear! These little banjo ukes are so much fun - you are going to have a blast with yours. It blows me away how much enjoyment I get out of these banjo ukes for not a lot of money! Really pleased to hear how much fun you're having with these videos! Thanks!! Kelly

[@ntbanjo]

Great lesson, so fun. Been practicing the secret strum everyday!!!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Norm! Great to hear!! So happy you're having fun with this material!! Thanks! Kelly

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

This is a real foot stomping song with fun words. The paintbrush, sledge hammer and blue grass strums are coming along fine because I practice them every day. The double strum will take some time but eventually I'll get that too. A huge thank you, Kelly.

[@fourstringstrummer]

That's great to hear Mike! I'm so pleased you're enjoying these and making progress with your playing - it really makes it all worthwhile for me! Kelly

[@crankybutnice]

Been playing about with banjolele for about a year...Trying to step it up now. Your presentations are clear and fun. If it ain't fun at this stage in my life it don't get done. You have a great knack of explaining the theory and technique without talking theory and technique....keeping it in layman's terms. Thank you.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Sean! Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying the content here. I'm having a lot of fun making the videos and love to hear that people are getting something out of them! Thanks!! Kelly

Hey Rodney! Enjoy!!

[@bonniedavidson936]

Love love this ! Hank Williams is one of my favorites ! I love how you break it down for us beginners and slow learners 😂. Me. ! But then progress so everyone can play ! Also I like I can decrease the speed. I didn’t know that until you pointed it out on one of the sessions. Thanks !!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Bonnie!! Im really loving the community we're building here on this channel. So many nice people (like yourself). I got to thinking - I look at it like we're all uke players and we have our own condo building - some folks are "living on the first floor" and others are up on the third (depending on their skill level). I want to teach everybody a version of the songs so that we can all meet up in the "party room" later and play the tunes together. It doesn't matter what floor you're on - it all blends in to make a great jam session! Kelly

[@fourstringstrummer]

...and if you like Hank Williams - stay tuned! I have another one coming up in the next couple of weeks!!

[@lisacompton3661]

Good to see you Kelly. Great lesson. I bought a dear little banjolele recently but don't seem to be getting on as well with it as my ukulele. I must persevere inspired by you and your techniques. Thank you. Best wishes.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Lisa!! That's great news about the banjo uke! Stick with it - work the paintbrush and sledgehammer strums to get yourself rolling. Seriously, let me know if there's something that's really "hanging you up" and I'll do what I can to see you over the hump! Kelly

[@lisacompton3661]

@fourstringstrummer thanks a lot Kelly.

[@lturner744]

So…the double strum is a bit advanced for me right now. But following along and practicing I know I’ll get there, and fully enjoy the trip. Also have to give you a big thumbs up for your song selections. This one has been especially enjoyable. I love Hank Williams, yet wasn’t familiar with this. Can’t help but smile at the clever lyrics. Now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole reading about the history and significance of this one. Definitely ahead of its time. Thanks!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Lucy! Ya it's a fun song for sure! George Thorogood and the Destroyers did a cover of it that was pretty "rockin". Glad you enjoyed it Lucy - you'll definitely get the double strum!! Have fun with it !! Kelly

[@fourstringstrummer]

...and stick around for another Hank Williams tune...if you're wondering what I've got cooking...coming up in the next couple of weeks!!

[@user-tx8rn4ue4o]

Any chance of playing " My Buckets got a hole in it" Hank Williams please....(Love what you're doing). DG UK.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Dave! For sure - I'll put it on the list! Thanks for the suggestion! Kelly

[@user-tx8rn4ue4o]

Can I use a low G with your strums. Love your sounds. Dave G ..UK.. 2220 hrs.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Dave! Sure you can. It will give a little different sound but there's no reason why not. With a high G it gives something a little closer to a banjo type of sound (with the high G ringing). With a low G it will sound a bit more like a Travis style guitar picking. I think the BEST solution is to treat yourself to another ukulele! One for high G and one for low G. How's that for a great idea?? Let me know - I'll write you a prescription if necessary! Doctor Kelly
