Fantastic 

[rpeek]

@DoctorRazzArea4 Thank You!

[resistzine]

Very cool!



[MudDauper]

Is there a reason why the neck is off-center, along with the bridge? Does it make it easier to play?

[rpeek]

@MudDauper Nope, I set it off center rather than remove the gas can handle. It sits to one side of the handle. Just thought it looked more like a can with the handle on.

[woodcrafter81]

@rpeek Thats the coolest little banjo i've ever seen!!

[rpeek]

@woodcrafter81  Thank You!

[mikkaramies]

You should record an album. I would love to work with you on that!

[Munthegun]

I Really dont see how any one could ever dislike this. This is so awesome. Well I guess we have proof seeing as though theres no dislikes in the ratings bar. Great video.

[rpeek]

@Munthegun Thank You!

[Schubachs]

Did you make this instrument?

[rpeek]

My god this sounds incredible. Don't know what it is about banjo and dulcimer. Just make me feel good inside to hear.

[quinnstafani]

Oh Lord! why ain't you famous?

[rpeek]

@quinnstafani Too lazy to put myself out there.. hahaha. Just like to stay around the house and pick and grin..

[Shellydav]

Is this your own tune or is this an old standard?

My 12-year-old and 3-year-old want to watch this and hear this over and over...and they want me to play it when I get my banjo!

[rpeek]

@Shellydav Yea, this is one of mine.. Thanks. Glad the kids like it..

[Feenbean16]

[rpeek]

@shamrock4500 Thank You!

[DaZeDmerlin]

You have a real soul for music i reckon, i love this stuff.

[Timothydlol]

im always asking you pal but what tuning you in here?

[rpeek]

@Timothydlol I dunno. I just twisted up the pegs.. I'll play with the old gas can and see if I can find it again..

[rpeek]

@Timothydlol I just put up a new video to try and explain the tuning. hope it helps..

[JustunLivae]

that thing sounds surprisingly awesome! cool tune too!

[rpeek]

@JustunLivae Thank You! I love to make music on junk..

[spectrender]

How did you attach the neck to the gas can?

[rpeek]

@spectrender The neck has a wooden dowell stick that runs through the can and the tailpiece screw goes into it. I've got videos up on how to make these things.. See "how to make a gas can" video.. Thanks.

[Rogermiler]

AWESOME!

[spookedjunglist]

Sounds like you recorded this via a laptop. You can eliminate the whine by simply pulling the power cord while recording. Or you can also use a ground lift on your power supply. Just a friendly bit of advice from an Audio engineer...

[rpeek]

@spookedjunglist Actually recorded it with a camera, but I wore that camera out now and have a newer one. It works much better. thanks for the input though..

[rollmop7]

this one of the best things i have ever seen!

[woodsinme]

Yee-haw! Git it! Haw!

[acapwell]

sylvester weaver would be proud!

[rpeek]

Thanks for the tip on Sylvester Weaver. Found a youtube video of him playin' and sure do like it. One of my new favorites, and an honor to be linked with such a fine musician..

[goingkaffir]

this is one of the best sounding banjos Ive heard, I have a friend who makes cigar box guitars, similar to these...great sound and jam session before you went to work.

[rpeek]

Thanks. Something to do to pass the time... It works for me..

[volume11video]

Yes! Great pickin' on a very cool instrument.

Thanks Mack!

[ClaypoolFan69]

U R AWESOME. banjo kicks ass

[rpeek]

Thanks..

[matheuslcintra]

really aprecciated that

[SOADafi]

smart idea! would a cereal box work?

[rpeek]

Maybe. I've seen it done with a cardboard wine box..

[rukia444]

How did you attach the banjo neck?

the banjo sounds SOOO nice!

[rpeek]

The old banjo necks have a wooden dowel rod that runs through the banjo. I just shortened the rod, poked a hole through the can with a screwdriver and hammer and slid the stick in and lined it up. Made a tail piece with a bent fork.  Not much to it. Give it a try, not much to lose if you use a cheap neck and a can..

[yonderyoung]

is there a pickup or is it acoustic

[rpeek]

Nope, no pickup. Just a can with a banjo neck in it. Nothin' fancy.

[Bidyyy]

Hi " We like that Banjo !!!!

nice Greetings from Austria

[rpeek]

Thanks. Austria!  That's awesome...

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Excellent! Best slow down that slide. Generate too much friction and "BOOM!"

[rpeek]

Yea, that is a concern. Might blow my fifth string off... It's happened before. No banjo players were injured in the filming of this video...

[superbandace]

that la s part was hilarious "no banjo players were injured in the filming of this video...: @(*_*)@ :)

[rpeek]

Thanks... Glad you liked it..

[lcfoxfc]

great work buddy, i idolize you

[rpeek]

Bes' be careful. Might grow up to be a claw hammer banjo picker. That's SKAWIE!

[drewbanjowebster]

It's good to know what we can do with all the gas cans once the oil's run out. Sounds great by the way.

[rpeek]

Yea, better start saving all the cans you can find. Once the oil is gone, they'll be collector's items..

[SouthernFNP]

makes me smile:) What does herbal tea and a gas can banjo do for you??

[rpeek]

Rather have a T-model and a gas can...

[lewdite]

Terrific stuff.

[rpeek]

Thanks Lew..

[goodsonbasinger]

classic gas? Mason jar Williams?

[rpeek]

Hahaha.. Classical gascan..

[debstef]

Thats a beautiful guitar! Amazing.
