Hi All, I’m working on remembering the lyricks to a couple of John Denver tunes at the moment, isn’t this a great site! Well done to Mandy Tim and Kelly for setting up and running the site, it will be great! Here’s my most recent attempt on youtube, I’ll do some more stuff after I finish my long hours at work,( but this won’t be for a few week yet.) View

    Wow Mandy you got that one so quick and played and sang it great! .. I’m still learning the lyricks, .. probably post the tune next weekend if I can

    Thankyou Joel and Mandy!, You just play a long neck the same as an ordinary banjo, but the strings are tuned to E instead of G, which is good for singing some songs that I can’t do in G. (the fretless banjos are tuned to E as well). The long neck can make your arm ache after a while though!

    In reply to - Bill Holden posted an update in the group Banjo Bandits Here’s a long neck banjo from the uk, .. need a bit more practise on the tune, this is the best I can get it at the moment. · View

    • real sweet sounding, bill. i like the low tones on that thing. great job!

      • Ditto to this! I wouldn’t begin to know what to do with a long neck, but you made it sound great Bill. Is it hard to reach the end???? LOL
