I just bought a washboard the other week. Your videos have been a life saver. I've been listening to a lot of Tejon Street Corner Thieves, and Piss Poor Players as inspiration as well.

please show a close up on how you attach the stap & accessories. What sounds they make, how you attached the pieces ie what types of glue? Thanks a ton. I'm loving learning with you

Thanks! I've been a drummer for years but just started playing washboard about 2 months ago, thanks for the lessons!

I like the extra accent on the left hand. Very nicely done! And great break down.

That's a great sounding washboard. I just got mine and it is stainless steel is sounds a bit tinny. Is yours galvanized steel? Or what makes that sound?

Zinc, zinc, zinc. that's why you want. zinc board and zinc thimbles. The Zinc King 701 washboard is the one preferred by most pros. you can find great old ones cheap on eBay or at flea markets. the more beat up they are, the cheaper, and the better they sound : )

BTW I wonder how do people settle the spare parts on their boards? Do you have any good ideas to share? Thank you and looking forward to your update ;)

Great question, that's really up to you. I say experiment as much as possible, pans, bells, wood blocks. Try anything you can find. Have fun and be creative! : )

To answer your question better I will make a video about building a washboard and adding accessories. Stay tuned. . .

The best metal is zinc. But I can't find zinc thimbles.

When you say a hand is up or down on a certain beat do you mean that that hand should scrape the board or are you just saying up or down regarding accenting a beat? Love your page btw.

@learnthewashboard5223 3 жыл бұрын

Both actually. On lots of patterns i scrape down on the down beat, and up on the up beat. However, I think the thing that takes the longest to develop, for me at least, is having a very very soft touch. I pressed way too hard for a loooong time; your wrist moves fast, but your fingers stay light and loose. I think Washboard Chaz has the best touch of anyone I've ever seen live. Check out his band, the washboard chaz trio on youtube.
