How to - Loch Lomand - Frailing Banjo

[finbar1938]

great video bluedanbob and has helped me a lot. I can manage the melody ok but could do with a bit of help on the frailing. Are there any tabs for it?

btw it's "bonnie banks" not "shores". As a Scot trust me on this. The alliteration gives it a nice rounded sound. (Hope I'm not being too picky, it wasn't meant in a bad way)

@finbar1938 You're absolutely right, I did goof on the lyrics =) No worries, I like to get them right but sometimes I slip up and decide to just press on rather than reshoot.

I promised someone else a video on the rhythm section of this tune and I've been remiss to follow up on that promise. Your request has lit the fire under me, and I will do so asap.

thanks for watching and for your kind comment.

Thanks bluedanbob. I'll look for it, and I really, really appreciate it. :-)

Your clip is extremely helpful in getting the melody and chords for Loch Lomond, but I'm just not getting the right hand movement. Somehow the melody isn't fitting into the bum ditty of the clawhammer when I play it. Is there any way you can show me what you are doing with your right hand too. Even if you can't, I thank you for this one very, very much. :)

@d2majzoub Oops, was signed in with the wrong account. I'll be happy to record a right hand version.
