Absolutely forcing me to play differently and more efficiently.Have to absolutely crowd more notes,because you don't have sustain.
The few instructional videos on Youtube are crappy,and won't do you much good probably,seems like those guys are just trying to play traditional banjo stuff.Keith Urban has 1 decent video,but that's about it.
Highly suggest this instrument,it might set a new fire.
If you like exploring things in minor keys,this is the instrument to try.The tone can be so effective and chilling.

I love playing my banjo. Very fun. Actually haven't played it in a while, though, need to bust it out.

Never really could get the finger picking down, but I probably haven't tried hard enough. Fun as hell to mess around on though.

I really try to do more folk,with classical influence?
Maybe mixing Bela Fleck with Metallica,and Marshall Tucker. I don't know,it's new stuff coming out of me,just trying to follow it along,instead of trying to learn a certain thing.

Discovery.
It was made to be played.Keep it where you can always grab it. The best things happen when you aint even trying.
