Basic Frailing Strum with G & D7

This is one of those deceptively powerful exercises that quietly does all the right things for your playing.

In this play-along video, we strip things back and focus on the basic frailing strum, moving smoothly between open G and D7. No rushing. No pressure. Just steady rhythm, clean transitions, and time spent letting the banjo do what it does best.

These simple chord changes are the building blocks of countless songs, and by looping them in a relaxed, musical way, you’ll start to feel your timing settle, your right hand relax, and your left hand find its way without overthinking.

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up and playing. Even a few minutes with your banjo like this goes a long way. Nothing replaces time spent with the instrument in your hands.

👉 Hit play, join in, and let this be one of those sessions where the banjo starts to feel familiar, friendly, and fun again.

Grab your banjo, settle in, and play along. 🪕
