Shady Grove - clawhammer banjo tune
Shady Grove! I wanted to find an actual shady grove to film this in but I didn't have the energy so I chilled with Gilligan instead. Its a bit of a mess but I had fun playing it, hopefully yall will have fun listening to it. I stole that fancy variation riff thing from The Chieftain's awesome recording of this song; if you haven't already heard it, go check it out, its insanely good!
Banjo is in G tuning, I think.

I always enjoy your banjo playing and topping it off with your smile makes it even more enjoyable. 👍💕❤️
I love the banjo. Fretless Friday needs to happen more often.
Love it! You're the coolest kid on youtube!

Phoebe is the best she gives a mountain of pleasure 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I was a huge Gilligan's Island fan as a kid. I wrote off to Bob Denver's fan club one year, and a month or so later I got an envelope in the mail with an autographed wallet-size picture of Denver (not wearing his Gilligan hat!). I was thrilled of course. There was a little message on the back that said something like "Best wishes, Bob Denver." I felt very honored. I was about 10 years old. Great banjo playing, BTW!
This is the best version ive ever heard! You're amazing! Are there tabs for this? Are you in GDGCD?
Nice one Phoebe ! From memory I first heard this tune played on a Doc Watson album.If I recall correctly,Doc played it on a little fretless banjo his father made him when Doc was a kid.🇭🇲 ❤
Beautiful rendition.
Phoebe rhymes with fantastic? No? Yes!
Those lights are fireflies. Lazy water, susurrant. Always remember, tomorrow is your day. It was written so. Everyone will be watching, you're one who makes the flowers grow.
I can hear Jerry humming along
Thanks!
Bought a banjo in my misspent youth. My picking hand is not smart enough to play banjo. I sold it. Forty-five years and several guitars later, I love hearing this style. A nice modal tune, well done.
You are having such fun and the grin on your face shows it. Keep up the good work and I love that hat you're wearing too.
The art of the Banjo is a faltering art. Thank you for keeping it going !

We all need a banjo.
Thank you, Phoebe! 😘 You are one of my favorite teachers on youtube.
THE HAT
Awesome "lil buddy"!!!
"There are no mistakes, only happy accidents." - Bob Ross Don't let it turn you around. Don't let it get you down.
Gilligan’s Island…theme…Dobie Gillis…hat looks familiar…life imitating art. Phoebe…you get better every time I hear you. You go girl! Where were you…looked like you were somewhere else while you were playing. Nice job!👍👏👏👏
Great version Phoebe! I like your Gilligan calendar. Gilligan's Island was a staple of after school tv for me when I was little back in the early 70s.
very nice
A family fav! We were so excited to see you'd done Shady Grove! Excellent!
Thanks, Pheobe. I always enjoy it. Also like your Gilligan hat.
That was awesome very relaxing to listen to 😁😁👍👍👍👍
"GILLIGAN!"
If I let KZread throw banjo music at me, this video is always third in line. Not the worst to be so loved by my algorithm haha
Lovely My daughter and I listen to Shady Grove on my channel every night before bed. It's to say goodnight to the Ermine. Seth and I met Shady Grove at the Ak Folk Festival in Juneau Alaska. She's a reporter there.
Very cool tune. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us.
Love the new ambiance!
Beautiful ! I enjoy your playing immensley,,,The clawhammer style has always the nice gentle roll and not the garish "flat & Scruggs" pickin,
Bravo 👏 ❤️👍
Very cool version
Excellent as always 👏
You are doing great, Phoebe! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Going back to Harlan. Love it! Fun tempo change!
..thank you for sharing your amazing performances - god bless you Phoebe
Love the vibe, Phoebe!
yo sickkk
Nice
Wife bought me a banjo at garage sale , sorry I gave it to Goodwill. Love your videos, fan of Ron Block /AKUS
Hi Phoebe, no it's not in standard open G tuning. The tuning is G-Modal also commonly known as G-Sawmill. In open G tuning - the notes from the 5th string to the 1st are G, D, G, B, D. From this tuning, the B string is tuned up 1/2 step and gives the banjo a melancholy sound. Great job, beautiful tune. 😊
Awesome banjo music 🎶
Fantastic!
Thank you for sharing!
awesome
really like the left hand work at :40...might steal that 😏

Me too! I love her improvising and riffs.
Ahhh love it
The nod to the Chieftains sends us back in history, to why the banjo and the ballad came to the Americas and the Scots - Irish influence in our music ...Gilligan would be proud. Shalom in Him, Yeshua Hamashiach
Wow you smashed it ! Sounded great, I'm just learning this on the ukulele. 👍 Thanks fir the inspiration
I cherished my "Gilligan hat" when I was a kid. Great version of this tune!
Thanks! 🛥🌴🌴
Great stuff , loved it ,,,,, Thanks
First! Love the hat, playing sounds soo good, some parts are cool how its more strummy 😂
I wish I had hands like that.
Love the hat! Thanks for sharing another tune.........
beautiful💖
Very cool, Phoebe!
Yay!
Ode to Gilligan, nice! I really enjoy your work.
Great hat. Even better banjo playing 👍
Nicely done.
This reminds me of Matty Groves by Fairport Convention. I guess they're probably based on the same tune
Very nice! 😊👌
great job!
I bet Gillian wished he had a banjo on that island. . . I feel like there’s a song there 👀

Something about those crab-claw hammers on the beach. 🎶 🦀 🏝 🎵
The variation that you did is great. Your version as a whole reminds me of the Tom Paley folk box version and the lyrics that go with the Folk Box version are to my mind the best coz' Shady Grove is the location, not a person, "One arm around the Likker' keg and the other round my dear".... soooo romantic, lol.
j'adore ce morceau ! merci !!
Nice!
Disturb the strings And keep it ring. Get the banjo To hold enjoy.
cool
Merci , j'adore ton style
😃👍
Take it from an old man. That fine picking. Keep it up baby doll. You’ll be able to play with your eyes closed soon enough. Thanks for the play my favorite song.
😇

Nice hat. Both hats.
😂 the calendar in the background, she’s fully committed, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was helping her grandfather transport moonshine in the back of their model T ford down the creek
lovely playing. Btw, Gilligan's all very well, but I miss Elvis. 😉
Do you take requests? What about Sally In The Garden

Frosty- not frosting. Sorry
What’s the other tune that you bring into Shady Grove? I’m sure I’ve heard it on the Chieftain’s Plank Road album. … I love your approach to playing. I’m sure you inspire a lot of people to pick up their banjos and just play them for the joy of making music.

Thanks but I just found it. It’s the other version of Shady Grove. On the Chieftains Further Down the Old Plank Road album with Tim O’Brien singing.

Gilligan on the calendar? Guessing that's why you wear the hat?
Nonchalant!!! (And no German helmet:)
That was not good, It was excellent!
Phoebe is 🔥🔥🔥 coming from a bluegrass music family, I thank you for respecting the traditions. Great job kiddo
