If I Only Had a Brain- Clawhammer Banjo Arrangement

- If I only had a brain, I would have realized that my dad was working on a project in the backyard and filmed somewhere else. Ah well, we got a good video in the end. Didn't get enough wind to spin the propeller hat though. This was a really fun song to arrange! I think the melody fits the banjo sound very well, and with a little clawhammer styling thrown in, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!
Shoutout to Schmudge the terrier and Lollie the corgi for running around like crazy and causing mischief. Maybe I'll get them to sit still with me for a video one of these days.

that propellor hat is literally the coolest
Totally agree! It’s epic awesome sauce!
This is so refreshing. When CZcams was innocent and real.
I think this just proves that part of it still is especially with musicians. You just have to know where to look
The biggest shout-out to that human wandering around seeking garbage with perfect timing and to the cute little dog
This one's so cute! Of course the propeller hat, but the dog sniffing the camera, and a cameo by your Dad. But best of all is that you arranged a tune from the Wizard of Oz! How wackily cool. Thanks, Phoebe!
I have been avoiding the news (always bad & sad) and instead, found your music and spirit totally uplifting - thank you!
How I love this tune - never heard it on banjo, and now I'm just so happy.
The hat is like a Jughead Jones crown hat combined with a propeller beanie!
Decades upon decades in the future, this will be the coolest old lady anyone has ever known.
I notice how you can play without looking at the neck. I’m impressed by that. You are playing with feeling. I’m an old guy who plays guitar. I love banjo and thanks for being there with that beautiful smile
Being a somewhat older person I sang the loud parts "out loud". I know what you were singing silently! Having grown up watching the " Wizard of OZ" and being from Kansas this is a special song for me! Thank You!
Love the hat, Love the happy creatures and really love the banjo...just don't fly away!
I'm sure this has been said time and again, but you and your music always bring a genuine smile into my day. Thank you and keep up the great work.
this was absolutely the most fun i had all day, and i had a REALLY fun day! thank you so much for topping it all off :)
I always sing this song to myself when at work
Love the pupper half-time show
Hi Phoebe. Love your banjo playing. When I was a kid I had a Beanie and Cecil propeller beanie that you could wind up and when you pulled the chinstrap the propeller would fly off (I'm an old geezer). Thank you for your music. Also, I am a fan of the Wizard of Oz {books and movie). I remember when they used to play the movie once a year like a holiday.
Sounds great. Banjo is the perfect instrument for that song. You just want to sing along.
Beamie, since it is a Moon Pie Panjo its lovey sounds are like beams from a loving moon.
The great ones make it look soooooo easy.
You should have two counter-rotating propellers, so that once they start spinning, they don't spin you around due to conservation of angular momentum.
This off the wall wry humour is delightful
Doggo cameo! They're adorable!
Why can’t Phoebe Sanders run for President?!? The world would be so much more peaceful with her playing her banjo on the front porch of the White House.
Tell your dad he needs to be spinning your propeller with the leaf blower rather than just wandering around photobombing! Such things are what dads are for. 🙂
I'd be curious to know what criteria you use to decide which banjo to play (larger pot vs smaller). Is it based on the song or something else? I'm in the process of deciding on a beginner banjo and am leaning toward one with a larger pot (12" vs 11").
I miss the chicken
Pheobe you are amazing. That was terrific!
Absolutely wonderful! And I'm glad the hat didn't take you up before the tune was over.
Good one Phoebe, I got a hat like yours we call him jughead hats. I made it years ago from old cowboy hat. I do not have a propeller on it. I'll take a picture of it sometime and send it to you.
Also known as crown hats. Originally made from old fedoras. Made famous by the character Jughead from the Archie comics.
Bless your beautiful Self and that Corgi!
You are AWESOME!!!!
I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Piper. She loves your playing also!
I love that you include your furry friends in your videos and show your special love for them when they surround you with their love!
Thank you for your inspiration Phoebe, your gift is beautiful!
More corgi!
Great tune....I forgot about it!!! And the hat made me smile which I needed today. Much love kid.❤😎✌
I love this! The tune, your playing, the dogs, but most of all the hat! Keep it up, young lady. You're a ray of sunshine!
Ha ha! "If I only had brain" -- a complete poem in 5 words! Look closely!
Gorgeous beautiful hat!
Nice playin!
No no, it sez "If I only had a brain". No, wait, that's a bug on my screen. It crawled off
Ey, simple thing, but your tempo and swing is the bees knees~
Wicked sweet, the scarecrow was always my favorite!
Ah…my theme song! 😂
😂
Thanks for brining a smile to my face. Like Steve Martin said,can’t e sad while playing the banjo!
I was expecting to see Oscar jump outta the trash can 😂 - you got there in the end - nice!
The animals crashing the party was fun.
I love dogs in guitar vids so it's no surprise that The Good Dogs would make this vid better! 😂
Your propeller reminds me of "Karlsson vom Dach" by Astrid Lindgren...perhaps you know...! I do like your vids - I don't know how - but I get so relaxed by watching you! Stay tuned...! Greetings from Germany! 🥰
I never realized they snuck a bluegrass song into that film until just now
Very nice! I play this song on mandolin a lot , but you're right, it does fit the banjo very well🙂
That was great ' a lovely atmosphere with hilarious outtakes '
...hard to play slow, aint it? Great job! Love the Goober hat!
The last part of that video made me laugh so much. Very sweet!
Cute song, cute outtakes, and it's so GREEN where you are! Signed, jealous in the midwest
That was great and from one of favorite movies. Thank you !!!
Nicely done kiddo,
I don't play clawhammer but I enjoyed this, I do pick a 5-string and guitar. Wish I had started when I was younger.... Nice Job.
I really thought your dad was Dan Povenmire for a second. But great song and well played!
Stop being so outrageous amazing :D That moon on your fretboard is adorable. And I love your soprano claw.
Super nice. ...then the hat! You're a hot mess, Lady. Thanks for the great time. --Fink
I love your playing! You are a bright, beautiful girl with a great talent. And you figured out the notes to this song!
That cap would be great for the next time you play I'll Fly Away.
Wonderful playing and a Corgi. What could be better?
Hello phoebe my name is Scott and I have a banjo too!
It’s actually a mini 6 string travel banjo!
Anyway I hope to one day become good at playing banjo just like you!
Love the hat! I'll give you a dollar for it!
As someone who was once the Tin Man in a production, I have a soft spot for any "If I Only Had A" song, and this one was so well done. I loved it.
Now I know I have a heart, because it's so happy!!! Doc, this may be my favorite thus far, along with the Christmas carol medley. Thanks for another maximum strength dose of banjo, dogs, and Dad! (Hi Dad!) ❤❤❤❤❤
You make it look so easy. I love all the little flourishes that fill in the spaces (bridges?) between the chorus. Great video!
Love the hat, almost as much as your banjo playing.
Massive thumbs up for the playing (as always) but also the propeller hat! 👍
Only thing missing was a motor for the hat. =)
😂
Hi from New Zealand. Thank you that was delightful.
Thanks! Love life, be safe.❤️🌹
I love those sounds you play! Thanks for sharing this with us, it really cheered me up today 😄
*Christopher Walken has entered the chat*
Thanks! Phoebe 🎶🪕
Wait for it!!!
Love your creativity, your music & your animals very uplifting, thank you 😊 ❤ Cathy
The Scarecrow should've played the banjo in the movie. I think you've proven that beyond doubt.
Lovely playing and you've even got one o' the hats I never thought I'd again see!
Loving your output. Keep it coming and let me know when your gigging in Scotland.
I'm all about that 👍🥸
loved the trash an finale!
Love this! You make everything sound good on the banjo!
Lovely hat! I belive it would look great together with the sweater (yes, you know what sweater I mean)!😊
Great girl... Loved your talent and patience....👍⭐🏴
One-off my favorite songs!
Someday you should probably do "Where Did You Get That Hat?" 🙂
Bob Carlin does a clawhammer version...
We need some singing (barking) to accompany the banjo
You mean something like this? czcams.com/video/k3u5E8XKPjg/video.htmlsi=mWhtf1IzK2wnL41o
A Propeller hat and if I only had a brain ?... Hmmm.
I loved it! it made me smile today . Frail on!
Nice!
Great job.
Looks like nice weather where The Doctor is In! #DailyDoseOfBanjo
Love all the critter action!
great version of this song.
All the retakes reminds me of some of the short videos I attempt to do. Sometimes, it goes smoothly, but then there are times when you can't seem to get 5 minutes without an interruption.
Love the propeller hat!
We watched that movie every year. ❤❤❤❤❤
My brother and I were just talking about the fact that back in the day we would wait each year for November to roll around because they would air the Wizard of Oz on TV…
Goober... Fantastic
Cool, that pulled me back in time. (grateful for the happy setting) thx
I am tapping my foot to this tune. Thank you for sharing your banjo playing with the world. We really love it!! From an old washboard player in Sydney Australia.
Love it.
Thanks for the outtakes! 😂
This is awesome!!
This is fantastic, great arrangement. Ive been learning to play banjo for a couple of years and got two tunes mastered. Id love this to be the third, any pointers as to where I could find a tab. Thankyou
Love it!! One of my fav arrangements of yours
Loved it. I wish I could play that good.
Nicely done!!
lovely chaos
Very cool! Love the outtakes
