A little trick I use all the time!
I just love your guitar playin!
Hey Sounds like you listen to Jake Workman!! That lick on the last phrase of 9 Pound Hammer was very Jakeish I mean, all the playing does.
Thank you!
Well that’s the ultimate compliment! Thanks! Yes, that lick’s from him.
Nice playing! You will be the only person ever to get a partial fret job on only the 18th, 19th and 20th frets
She takes lessons from Jake. At least she did. Maybe still does.
I just tried this and it…works.
Wow. I’m gonna have to try now😂
Ben, have you tried it before or not until now?
Well of COURSE I still do. I will never stop.
That’s cool😂 What are you gonna do when you pass him?
I obviously won’t live to see that day.
You might! That must be fun, I’d like to meet Jake.
I do virtual lessons. You can too.
Yeah, I don’t really want lessons at the moment, I would like to meet him and jam though.
Whoa Libby! You taught BEN something!?
I taught him a few things, just not necessarily the kind of things one would consider especially beneficial to teach…
Will it fix a banjo strings?
I always pull on my strings when I fit new ones. They don’t seem to go dull but like all banjo players I am constantly retuning - Like Murphy Henry says at the start of every lesson - “Tune your banjo” I tell you that lady sure instilled me the need to keep your banjo in tune.
Thanks for sharing @Flatpickin_Libby great tip.
@Archie This is different than stretching the strings when you put them on; I do that too. This is for after your strings start sounding a little dead. It might help a banjo although may not sound as drastically different as on a guitar. I know @Lucy_L uses this trick on her mandolin pretty often.
