Eddie Peobody in 'Strum Fun'

[Bluefinger]

The very first headbanger :)

[1m2a3t4t5]

His last name is Peabody not Peobody

[midgetboy050694]

Holy crap smiling the whole time

[eruptionista]

By Jove! I've ordered my instrument already

[Pickinbuddy]

Eddie was such a fantastic player---that performance on the old Gibson Harp guitar is priceless!

[misslace112]

He's a tiny bit scary though isn't he, some sort of banjo freak!

[drn1023]

I love me some Surf Guitar, and now I think I see where Dick Dale got his inspiration from !!!! LOVE IT !!!

[vactisum]

Legend has it that every time Mr. Peabody invited a trio of prostitutes up to his room he always made sure he had a corresponding number of musical instruments on hand to whip them into an orgasmic frenzy. I had no idea someone had actually filmed one of these encounters.

[accordeonsteve]

What a rendition of "Some of these days" Terrific, really!

[bgPeteF]

It's funny, but if you stare at the blonde shakin' her thingy long enough, a banjo player appraes in the background....

[superjules]

Back in the days when shredding on some gear could score you some trim

[Offdrive3]

Crazy beautiful!

[MrJnobianchi]

Lovely, great artifact. Really, why doesn't it work this way in real life when you whip out a plectrum guitar? Well, maybe it works that way for others, but never did for me. :D

[StevieCoyleMusic]

"Cigarette?"

[iminsmim]

I say!

[weinerbongo]

1:20 Pat Metheny eat your heart out.

[ukulelezaza]

Does anybody know which song Eddie plays first? I love it.

[ufoolable]

what's that crazy guitar thing 1:30s ?

[ukulelezaza]

@ufoolable Harp guitar, made by Gibson (I think).

[ufoolable]

@ukulelezaza thankyou :)

[bubbleshorwitz]

i'm surprised they didn't just rip their clothes off when he busted out that harp guitar.

[wibble7773]

lol!!!- i think he actually orgasms at 2.45, bless his little cotton socks.

[diggerjay]

"dat "auld cunt" cud charm da "knickers off a bare arse"!!

[Fozzymaple]

No other banjo player, tenor, plectrum or five string comes close to Peabody (though Leroy Troy and his banjo grandfather, Uncle Dave Macon could give Ol' Happiness Boy a good run for his money).

[eisenburgh]

Definately a ladies man!

[jozo1816]

amazing!.....thats what she said!

[thehellout]

Thanks for posting, Jack!

[bioneek]

That banjo isn't all he is going to be strumming tonight... HIYO!

[jodygrind69]

That was insanely good.

[StUkulele]

OMG! This guy is a superhero!

[Hikikomori013]

1:54 Good use of harmonics!

And the banjo is unreal. I wouldn't believe it was possible to get those sounds out of that thing!

[maxbest2]

Excellent! Was this a "soundie" clip?

[UncleMacJug]

Why don't I get invited to parties like this? Wow!

[Tonefid115]

Incredible with a very Light touch!

[bobdenver1961]

Love hearing the harp guitar!

[BrunoEspo]

the girl at 2:48 is HOT. she's the perfect pinup steriotype

[BrunoEspo]

p.i.m.p.

[gibsonkal]

give me whatever he's on... man boiyoingggg

[KawhackitaRag]

I'm just jealous that Eddie gets all the good axes and the ladies, while the pianist gets stuck with a crappy '50's spinet, rather than a fine upright.

[azzu01]

funny--- the blonde tried to steal the show by lifting her skirt!... Well, it doesn't work baby. We are all music lovers and for us the only sexy thing in sight is the banjo

[mick2cu]

Amazing player!!!!!!

[samjhatfield]

Ha Ha. LEGEND!

[DisfiguredCowboy]

Wow.  WOW.

[MCPRE]

Eddie Van Halen on a BANJO!

[markd3570]

He probably gets more ass with that fucked-up looking guitar than anything else, although the banjo's making that blond bitch shake her shit in his face... he's probably thinking, "One's OK, but... threesom... foursom!!! I just hope piano guy doesn't come over here!"

[KawhackitaRag]

Hey! I may have sworn off fretted stringed instruments, but I definitely have NOT sworn off girls!

[KawhackitaRag]

"that fucked-up looking guitar" is a real musical instrument called the harp-guitar. Look it up if you're curious.

[p4rkourboy999]

fantastic

[earlycamp]

My boy, Eddie can definetly attract some women.

[60FenderJazz]

Safe to say.... Eddie got some leg that night for sure!

[panamintjoe]

Terrific tremolo, best version of "Mighty 'Lak A Rose" I ever did hear!

[ziggzapp]

i want that guitar, man that thing is out of this world....so is Pbody...he always gets 5 big juicy shiners....tx

[oldcremona]

I tell ya, the banjo is a real chick magnet.

[guitaress1]

Is that first one a banjola? And what is that insane harp guitar? That's too cool!

[Fightingscars]

Yeah, the first one is a banjola. The harp guitar is, well, a harp guitar; they were quite popular in the early 20th century, particularly in America. However the one that he uses has an insane number of harp strings....

[mayorelvis2]

one man truly posessed on the banjo! wow

[6strngplayer]
