The reason I call it "The Secret Strum" is it was a secret to me how I did it! People would ask and I didn't really know - it just kind of happened...It took me a while to slow it down and figure it out. Hope you enjoy it - it's a lot of fun!

How do you like a video twice? Seriously, great tutorial.

Thanks Rebecca!! Feel free to join our new Facebook Chat Group "The Four String Strummers"! You'd be very welcome! m.facebook.com/groups/6666720290056917/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT Thanks again! Kelly

Just got my own Aklot in, and trying it out (I'm a complete beginner at banjolele, but I play a bit of guitar), and I feel good with the way you explain some basic stuff. Thanks, ... and now I have to practice. See you

Hey glad you enjoyed it!! Hope you guys have fun with it! Kelly

🤯 actually taking it step by step and it IS do-able! Made it to step 3! My husband is amused by my walking around dazed and air strumming! 😂 but it works!! Thank you!

I really appreciate your step by step teaching style. I have a banjole and I am really working hard to become more proficient as I sing and play with the guitarist in our Bible home group. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks so much. I'm now a subscriber.

Hey that's great! You are doing it exactly the right way - slow first and then gradually increase the speed. Have fun with it! Kelly

Thank-you hat was a great lesson!. You broke it down so I could get it. I wanted a strun for one part of a short silly song I wrote. When I fully master it I will play around with all the different parts of this stum.

I'm sure that is the same(or very similar) to the George Formby strum?

@fourstringstrummer

Жыл бұрын

George Formby used a couple of different strums consistently - these ones are a bit different. He was actually a very skilled player. These are kind of a cross between a style he would use and clawhammer.

Thank you and how is the banjo tuned?

GCEA is what I use. Thanks

Looks allot like clawhammer on the old 5 string banjo style.
