Lately I've been bitten by the banjo bug. It's my favorite Bluegrass instrument. I used to "chase" and flirt with banjo pickers in Nashville.
We just saw Mean Mary in concert, OMG she's wild!
Last week we saw a bluesman named Scott Ainsley play a gourd banjo with nylon strings, wow, what a sound.
I don't know how to play banjo yet, but I like to noodle on my banjouke a lot. I just want more versatility than the banjouke offers, the 5th drone string might help.
I don't want a big heavy banjo that's gonna test my strength, and I don't care to play on steel strings. But I really want to learn, and play it in my ukulele ensemble.
Does anyone have any ideas, opinions, helpful hints, etc?
