Did you ever hear anyone playing washboard?
It's a fantastic sound - and so easy to play.
My main instrument for playing and teaching is harmonica and I like to vary my act by swapping between the two.
How about playing washboard and harmonica at the same time? Yes it can be done. I end up playing both badly when I try that!
Whenever I get the washboard out you can see the audience staring at it and pointing before discussing with their friends. What are they saying I wonder? 'What in the world has he got there...?'
In this course I share my extensive experience and love of music to bring you the basics of washboard playing.
It's a little drum kit but it's portable, cool, easy to play and cheap to buy. This is a different type of percussion instruction but it does the same job.
If you have ever wanted to be involved in music but didn't get the right opportunities you just found one! With the skills you learn here you can immediately join in with another musician - from the front porch, to a bbq or join a session.
Washboards are commonly used in Country Music, Jug Bands, Bluegrass, Blues, Skiffle, Jazz, Folk, Old Timey, Americana and loads more.
I've played mine in Irish sessions many times and it works well there as well.
It's great in any acoustic music such as rock, reggae, ska, 'world', and more.
There is no instrument as versatile as the washboard - you can even use it for cleaning your clothes, which other instrument can do that?
