Lemme just say this. You didn’t inflate the balloon enough, and it’s the wrong type of balloon. You’ve got to make it so the strings just barely miss the balloon, and I’d recommend thick rubber balloons.
No the other gentleman had blown up the balloon just a little bit bigger so when he popped it in the soundhole the balloon was touching the strings, but I would imagine you would have to get just the right amount of air in the balloon so skin would be bareilly touching the strings,to give it a slap snare like sound banjos are noted for,they are basically a tambourine with strings stretched across it, weird instrument indeed.
I love these irreverent-humour videos. As for the task at hand, I think maybe you needed to inflate the pink balloon a bit more, so that it covered more of the acoustic's sound hole. Then maybe it would work...
Condoms (if you don't have balloons handy) give it a nice bluesy tone, especially if they are ribbed, and the lubricant helps keep the strings from rusting.
Johnny Cash used to put matchbooks on his strings so they buzzed like that...poor man's snare drum...Ralph Towner used to prepare his strings with sticks to do the same thing in his band Oregon back in the day....he has a song called Buzzbox...
I think you should blow it up a *tiny* bit bigger, not by much but in the video it appears to be almost filling up the hole entirely and I think is just barely touching the strings
Now this will lead to the inevitable ... 2 balloons one guitar hole video ... Next thing you know a whole genre of freaky guitar porn has been created.
Do we know whether he was using a metal-string acoustic, or a nylon-string classical? Cause if he was using a classical instead of a standard acoustic, that might be what's making the difference.
If you would have blown the balloon up larger it would have plugged the port better without touching the strings. Your balloon looked undersized compared to the original.

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk this is actually good
fake
9 time stamps for a 3 minute video this is the effort we come to Landon for
Timestamps or bust!
It’s real it was acoustic guitar and the problem was that you didn’t inflate it enough to hold in place around the ring. And that’s how you do it
The deflating balloon effect as the video disappeared is an example of the special kind of genius the world needs more of.
balloon fart sounds for the win
I agree😂😂😂
Lemme just say this. You didn’t inflate the balloon enough, and it’s the wrong type of balloon. You’ve got to make it so the strings just barely miss the balloon, and I’d recommend thick rubber balloons.
That's right. I just disliked the video.
yeah your right the strings arent touching the ballon like the guy in the orignal video
@LemonTheAxo Well in the original video they did and that worked out great
Thick rubber balloons. Bet
@jdsjjssjei That might be so but that doesn't change the fact that it worked great in the original video.
Red balloons have a better tone 🤣
I should have tried Purple. it’s the thing now days.
Gibson sells signature red balloons 🎈 signed by Slash.
$100 each!
You need true bypass balloons! The hot air is sucking your tone. Do you have balloons rolling around your dryer?
The old tone color discussion?
I’m to poor to make a poor mans banjo.
I'm too poor to pay attention to a poor man's banjo
Im just poor
I am most poor
I'm too poor to be poor
I'm so po I can't afford the last 2 letters
I felt that pick drop on a spiritual level
great post! So far my favorite
Yes
The secret trick is to have 98 more red balloons in your acoustic. Auf irhem weg zum horizont.
Ich wusste es!
99 Red Luft Baloons!

he lied to us! he said it can’t touch the strings! I want my money back.
Tone balloons? Does the brand matter?
Does colour matter?
We need an in depth comparison vid.
I think one day I might just possibly, never do that 😝
inflate it until it just touches the strings.
It gives enough damping to make a passable banjo "plunk" noise. :)
If I use a Blue Balloon will I be Playing The Blues🤪 💙🎸🎶
Play it on a field and you'll be playing bluegrass
@@flaccid6pancake 👨🌾🗨🎸🎶🤣
I love these irreverent-humour videos. As for the task at hand, I think maybe you needed to inflate the pink balloon a bit more, so that it covered more of the acoustic's sound hole. Then maybe it would work...
I like to mix it up :)
Hmm I don't know, maybe the balloon has to fill the entire hole but not touch the strings? I still like to believe it could work maybe.
You need to blow that balloon harder so all the strings hit the balloon.
that blows!
Condoms (if you don't have balloons handy) give it a nice bluesy tone, especially if they are ribbed, and the lubricant helps keep the strings from rusting.
Paul Rudd could’ve played the fake banjo!
99 red balloons is better than 1 red balloon.
When the clip flew away like a deflating balloon... It made my face hurt
(trying to suppress the laughter).
I STARTED CRYING AT THE SECOND HE SAID THIS 0:26
#dirtymind
it was a sad moment
Too bad it didn't work. I guess banjo playing will forever remain a rich man's hobby.
exactly! it was worth a shot
poor mans banjo? The banjo itself is a poor mans guitar
Johnny Cash used to put matchbooks on his strings so they buzzed like that...poor man's snare drum...Ralph Towner used to prepare his strings with sticks to do the same thing in his band Oregon back in the day....he has a song called Buzzbox...
he also used dollar bills and playing cards
@@RebSike and cards of paper (he usually preferred dollar bills because they had the right thickness)
"Did I make this video?" LOL
I love the fact that this man was so quick to say he made it and then turn around and say no its fake
I reject both hypotheses
@@landonbailey okay you might don't mean we all do not trying to be rude
ⓘ This claim about the easyness of poor man's banjo construction is disputed by baloon specialists
The balloon has to touch the strings.
agreed
I think you should blow it up a *tiny* bit bigger, not by much but in the video it appears to be almost filling up the hole entirely and I think is just barely touching the strings
that sounds like a challenge!
I knew Paul Rudd would make an appearance. Slappa Da Basssa!
that poor mans banjo video was literally on my recommendation and i saw this
😝
Same
You didn't blow on the balloon hard enough. Your strings has to touch the balloon
next time!
Now this will lead to the inevitable ... 2 balloons one guitar hole video ... Next thing you know a whole genre of freaky guitar porn has been created.
The Poor man's banjo for those of you that bought three or more guitars but never an actual banjo.......
Sarcasm over 9000? Now we’re talkin’ I liked this attitude already
He was playing away from the hole to not right over it
Didnt blow the balloon enough
"two in the pink* 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂
One in the stink!
"Real or fake?"??? i dont even think you did it right. I think your balloon is supposed to be big enough to be touching the strings
is there a right? it’s a balloon in a guitar 🤪

It's steel I don't think a classical will work
Sack of balloons 🤣🤣🤣
As a banjo player, you did pretty well👍🏻👍🏻
cheers
Someday I wish to see a Poor Ban's Manjo
🤪
When you play poor man's banjo,try play it
😱
Your balloon wasn’t inflated enough.
my head was overinflated
Lmao...just saw the video about 2 hours before watching yours. Too damn funny!! Loved this. 🎈😄🎈
that video says in th description that the baloon must be really close the strings but no touching them
true
Put the balloon In the guitar first before you blow it
that's it
the ballon cant touch the strings but it has to be close
👍🙂
“This is the stupidest video I’ve ever made”
It’s real; I’ve done it with my folk-sized guitar.
Wait try blowing the balloon more and hit more towards the guitar/ banjo and u may get the effect
No it's not fake, you just not put enough air on those balloons
You have to use a ToneBalloon. : ) (If you can't blow up a balloon, you don't have kids.)
ah that's it!
you did not blow it up enogh
Bigger balloons bro!
Awesome content Landon I've learned a lot. Thanks again.
hopefully not from this video! 🤪🎸 thanks!
The ballon need to be bigger to work
o
clearly the problem was that you didn't start off with the red balloon
HAHAHAHA, this showed up in my recommends last night. HAHAHAHHA, hillarious!
There is an abnormal amount of sexual innuendo in this video.
that’s what she said!
blow up the balloon more so that it is pressed against the strings in the acustic
It only works if you date your cousin.
Notice the placement of his balloon as well
i like how the balloon fart sound had a time stamp
always
If you would have blown the balloon up larger it would have plugged the port better without touching the strings. Your balloon looked undersized compared to the original.
I failed
I just rub lime juice on the strings.
I hope you don’t have paper cuts
@@landonbailey no pain no gain
It would not work because you are rich... Not poor
well I’m not rich, but ok 😄
So did he make that many dirty jokes on purpose or was that by accident because it was hilarious
a white horse fell in the mud
@@landonbailey 🤣
slapadabass banjo is a great band name
You Have To Pick It. To Make The Sound
I'm not on strike!
NOOO SO SADDDD
Well that blows;). I’m disappointed too.
0:57 the fretboard is different than that video
😱
"This is the stupidest video I've ever made."
I certainly hope so.
This is why I watch your videos.
do you know the name of the song that that guy was palying???
" paddle faster"!!!!!!
🏏🚣🏻♀️
This guy probably got the video on recommended and he tried it
actually, no, I just timed travelled back from 5 years ago to see if I can still do it!
@@landonbailey wow legend
I think that you inflated the balloon incorrectly, and therefore the sound is not the same.
Anyone know the name of the song in the original video?
Jonathan?
Anyone know the tabs or song that was played
First "Did I make this video" when the ' banjo' was played great, and then "I don't know how to play banjo" dude---
It does work..I do this all the time
even when you're asleep? 😛😱
You did that on purpose. :-P
You have to blow the balloon up more and it has to touch the strings.
I followed his instructions though! :)
Lol 🤣this your best Video so far ever. Expesially the ending, saying: its fake. Lol best statement ever. Thumbs uP. One Love o
this is my best! ah no. I spent like 5 mins making this vs 30+ hours on my guitar build videos. 🤯🤪👍
So, you couldn't figure out what to make a video about? So we got this, thanks.
no I'm trying to ride the coattails of an inexplicably viral guitar video
I do wonder if the same can be for the ukulele
Its not fake you just need to blow the balloon up a little bigger
that was a joke
that's the joke
Its not fake. You just didn't blow it at the right shape. Next time just make it bigger instead of telling its fake..
my comment was fake
@@landonbailey .....ok. but it looked real so
Just try a piece of paper over the sound hole!!!!!,instant banjitar
maybe even wax paper! good idea
I got it to work on one string. The balloon is too round to get it to perfectly fit
The Bassjo is a Les Claypool invention.
2:56 *p a i n*
1:13 jump scare
It's real it has to touch the strings look at the strings you can clearly see it touching the strings
If you use a blue balloon can you emulate B.B. King?
🤔😆
Its not fake the balloon has to be tpuching the strings
that sounds painful
You need to use a black balloon if you want to play death metal banjo....z😎🎸
that’s probably true!
When the balloon deflated in the video it startled me a bit
balloon fartle startle
@@landonbailey yes that it was my friend
bruh the baloon was no where near the strings except the high e string
You're so silly. Gotta love ya!
