take this hammer - tank, the baritone banjolele (tenor banjo)

[SuleDrum]

Lotsa fun! Is that you on bass & vocals, too? Let's get my banjo-uke & your tenor together sometime!

[lucjyjazz]

[slimpickensrx]

wow, very great! better than any leadbelly I've heard

[trippy992]

this is really, really awesome! could you share the tab? i've got a banjolele i'd love to try this on.

[doogey9]

Hi trippy,

thanks so much....unfortunately, i don't do tabs....i can tell you that the chords are G, D7, G, G7, C, G, D7, G

[bjornbakken]

Todd! Another great video (of course!).

I've been working hard to learn how to play "off of" another person lately (so I can jam with friends), and I've been using a ton of your videos--thanks for being a great person to jam with!

[doogey9]

Bjorn,

you're most welcome....right on!

[kc8afw]

Great stuff there, Todd. Tank was soundin' good, too.

[doogey9]

thanks Kevin,

i'd love to get a decent open backed 5 string banjo to play around with, but tank will have to do....he's sturdy and workable at the moment :)

[mctrmt]

You handle this hammer with that tank really well. She's a beaut!

[doogey9]

thanks so much Mary-Anne :)

todd

[doogey9]

thanks so much Adelle :)

[MrTinyJim]

Fan-diggity-dad-gum-tastic. Loved it.

[doogey9]

thank you kind sir :)

[SirCoughsalot]

Awesome. This is one of my favorites, always sing it when I'm feeling down.

That's some banjo playing, Todd. You should break out the tank a little more often.

[doogey9]

thank bro....

i will do that :)

[UkuleleIgor]

Great video. You have nice relaxed feel on Your playing. *****

[doogey9]

Igor,

Hooray for the heavy artillery! That was awesome.

thanks Don!

[casetone2514]

Good ole Huddie Leadbetter!

There are two people looking over my shoulder in the café....hang on.

OK you are on speaker and the consensus is..

....all three of us agree you sound really great.

Just me again now. That was a bit weird. Another great version Todd. I really enjoyed it.

[doogey9]

ha ha...thanks Tony....

they were 'peeping' over your shoulder eh? funny.

[fourteentwelve]

Great playing Todd! That must really feel heavy to play after the uke. You play it so well, and you really got my feet tapping!

[doogey9]

Hi Michelle,

yes, 'tank' is very heavy indeed :)

thanks for the kind comments...

cheers,

todd

[eerteep]

shweet!

: )

p.

[doogey9]

fanks!!!

:)

T.

btw, you rock!!!

[eerteep]

funnily enough, that's the meaning of my name...'rock' that is...or 'stone'.,.

cheers!

: )

p.

[doogey9]

Yup.....Petra, Peter, Petri.....Cephas (hebrew)

there was a Christian Rock band called Petra in the 80's and early 90's.....mixed feelings about them ;) kind of like gospel hair rock ha ha....though there stuff at the end was not too bad.....metal!!!!! (with very high pitched voice :)

[ihavenotea]

I can remember a lot of their songs most are best forgotten. But they had one or two quite impressive ones.

[doogey9]

ha ha....you had the same experience?

excellent!!! :)

[ihavenotea]

I should dig through there discography and cover one or two of there gems. I remember Color Song being the best of their early stuff and I think the rest of my favorites are on Beyond Belief (though I can't recall if they were good, just that I loved that album in early High School).

[UkesterBrown]

Lovedit- and I notice the bigger strap. I bet "your" standard uke strap digs in a bit on that heavy boy!

[doogey9]

David,

'heavy boy' is an understatement if you can believe it....it is a very very heavy banjo :)

thanks so much,

Todd

[TheCoffeeJunkee]

Awesome Todd! You never fail to impress!

[doogey9]

CJ,

thanks so much friend,

Todd

[ukeyermind]

Re: Dirt Farmer....that is a great album....they have it in the collection at the county library attached to my work...i checked it out a couple of months ago :)

[lewdite]

[jmmquah]

Oh yeah! In the favs! Gotta love the tank...more please...

Just a request...get that right hand in shot!

Thanks Todd

[doogey9]

James,

thanks man....sorry about the over all coverage.....it was a bit of a thoughtless quickie....i'll try to get a better over all shot of Tank and playing next time i utilize his 'heaviness' :)

[josephhoh]

Another master class. How fortunate could we be?

[doogey9]

thanks so much Joseph....

looking forward to your next post :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Very nicely phrased, Todd. I love the way you hold back, just a little, on some of the key words. Very few people know how to express the words like you do.

[doogey9]

Ken,

that's very kind....thank you sir :)

[helveticaukes]

Fantastic, as per usual. :-D

Sam Love

[doogey9]
