Rad video!!! My sister gave me a little washboard for Christmas today. I looked up how to play and found this.Pretty solid! I play drums and thought I’d lick the washboard quick. No way. There’s some serious skill involved. Pat your head, rub your belly in a counter clockwise motion, walk down the sidewalk at a 4/4 pace without stepping on a crack and chew gum at the same time… Thanks for sharing, sharp dressed fancy accent man. Skid Roper is king!!!

[@TheWashboardResonators]

They’re easy to get going with but hard if you want to be good. We’ve got a four part lesson here which will cover most things you need. Good luck as you continue your journey into the land of scrub. 🎵🎵🎵

[@mwhite76]

Perfect...I’ve struggled to find ‘good’ tips about playing washboard. These videos should be put together with a books, music sheets or something similar...I’d buy it. The insight of professional musicians is invaluable especially when they are about less used techniques such as these.

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Matthew White Thats wonderful it’s helping. More to come over the weeks. A full book is a great idea!!

[@QalinaCom]

[@keithhicks1750]

Thanks a lot for your excellent tuition. I play washboard occasionally at our Uke club. The only thing I do correctly I s hang it around my neck. 😊

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Keith Hicks It’s a wonderful instrument!!!

Jeez you guys 'jump' . . . . . I have to say I've only just started in the last 6 months on the washboard but I have to say, as I started it before I knew you guys, you weren't my inspiration . . . but since discovering you both, it's inspired me to want to play it properly! You're a killer duo but Jack you roll over that washboard like velvet mate. Like Krupa washing his socks while he listens to his walkman ha ha. I have to ask though. . . . is it new to attach a 'vibroflex' to a washboard . . . or have I gone too far? . . . . It does sound amazing but it's a bit of a 'reach' when you've got a decent rhythm going. You guys are the mutts nuts . . . . . . I could sit in the bar with a bottle of red and your vids for hours. . . . . and have done! Cheers guys.

[@TheWashboardResonators]

What a lovely message! First we’ve heard of a vibroflex. Anything is possible nowadays. Keep drinking the red stuff as surely it will open portholes to newer and better dimensions. 🎯

[@ronhmason]

Love your washboard videos. Please ket me know where you get your thimbles especially if you have to order them. Thanks

[@TheWashboardResonators]

The Haberdashes on Leeds Market. 33p. Got a lifetimes supply.

[@lampaso6967]

Thats wonderful, thanks! Q: How do you keep your thimbles on your fingers without dropping them???

[@TheWashboardResonators]

They’re metal and squeezable. You can choose sizes so get the nearest and make fit. Rare you loose one. We have paid that stitch fingerpicks onto gloves etc. 🎯

[@basherdrummer]

I’ve always wanted to play the washboard - is it possible to buy one that’s already ‘kitted out’ with the bell, cow bell, bloc, splash etc etc??

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Not like this one is. A google search will reveal what’s available ready to go. 🎯

[@basherdrummer]

@@TheWashboardResonators I’ve tried but can’t find anything ‘pre built’ in the UK sadly

[@alessandrariva3204]

Hi! Can you tell us which music to play these patterns on? Thanks from Italy

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Hi Alessandra. So I'm using them for early jazz, skiffle, blues styles but they're pretty transferable for many styles. Just decide whether it's straight or swung! :)

[@alessandrariva3204]

​@@TheWashboardResonators but what songs can we listen and to play these patterns?

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

how do you keep the thimbles on your fingers

[@TheWashboardResonators]

I bend them a bit so they're a little tighter

[@ralphciardella9705]

Does it matter if you scrape up or down?

[@TheWashboardResonators]

No I think if you get a good sound, whichevr way is fine. However, you are less likely to loose a thimble if you scraping up.
