Jeff Lynne & George Harrison play banjos

[jpsmart59]

They are evil instruments, banjules...lol I can't go into here, drop me a line if you want to learn

why. Just kidding.

[klausgroi]

The ending, from 2:50 on, sounds very similar to the end of Free As a Bird !

[begbieboy]

They do not sound like banjos, but like ukuleles. That's because actually those are banjuleles, which are closer to ukes than to banjos.

[ramblingringodolenz]

@begbieboy I agree. I have one, too. This is the George Formby style uke. You can get a 4 string banjo, but it is much bigger than these.

[buddyhoot]

That little strumming with the banjolele at the end was just like the "Free as a bird" video with the guy playing to the theater.. It's known that George wanted to do that part but was denied because there were no other post-Beatles in the video.

I wonder how many modern wannabe artists will have as many Gold disks behind them as this guy has!

[bassplayeroceanside]

@RustiSwordz Artists that pander to large idiot demographics (Hip Hop, Rap) will probably sell as much. Sad, I know.

[Sodahpop96]

Those weren't banjos, they were banjuleles. Just sayin'.

[eloise533]

Oh Jeff, you really are a total genius, I was so lucky to see you live 5 times from 76 onwards, I have been a fan since 74, and always will be, love ya xxxxxxx

[Prinsdam]

This really put a smile on my face.

[ElNowhereMan1985]

I love these guys!

[TheShadowcatcher347]

Nice clip, thanks for posting.

[ewita41]

Boss ... You're playing every instrument perfectly ... lol ....

[16wani]

ukulelemania :-D

[chxavier2]

@16wani So boring damn thing this is. Everybody play this beautiful instrument, but with low musical quallity. Seems that people are spanking the little guitar.

[16wani]

@chxavier2

Then why are you watching this, if you think it's boring ?

[chxavier2]

@16wani Excuse me! I'm not saying that the music of Georges and Jeff Lynnes is boring, boring is the ukelelemania. In the hands of masters like these, even a matchbox becomes a beautiful sound instrument. The ukelele vogue is such a damn boring thing 'cause the ukelelists don't know how to play it. Who am I to say boring of George Harrison?

[16wani]

@chxavier2

My original comment was just my way of saying when Jeff's saying ukulemania that I think it was funny :)

[endrizo]
