Hello David, I enjoyed your detailed video here. Very informative, and straightforward. Having bought a Goldtone GT 750 six string banjatar about twenty years ago, I was never comfortable with the sound as it did not sound bright enough. A few years back I did purchase a used five string banjo and liked the authentic sound. I am going to string the Goldtone with "Nashville Tuning" and see if that helps. Thank you again.

Have a question for you and thanks for the videos. I play the guitar upside down and backward, long story... Martin D18 from way back. I would like to buy a banjo to try and I have been around long enough, that you have to spend enough to get some quality and yet I am not sure how my claw hammer fingerpicking will adapt. Suggestions?

IntlPlaza I use Argentine Gypsy Jazz Light Gauge Strings (also Rouxinol R-30 Strings w/ a Wound B String) which are IIRC I think they're Copper w/ a Silver Plating so they're not going to be as bright as Bronze strings. It's more of a Gypsy Jazz Sound.

Thanks for the video, lots of useful information. I just picked up a Framus 6 sting banjo from an Auction and was just curious of how well it will work for my purposes and your video confirmed my impressions of the instrument. The purists out there refer to them as cheap junk but I think its a well built instrument and a good deal for the money if you can find one. I'm mainly a 6 string acoustic player and have been playing since a kid but like the sound of a banjo but not sure I want to learn a 5 string. I'm learning the idiosyncrasies of the 6 string banjo and they are fun to play with. The 6 string banjo is great for old time guitar hacks like myself and looking forward to adding the sound to our local jam sessions. Thanks again!

IntlPlaza It's recommended to use really Light Gauge Strings (10s or 9s) because it'll allow the head to vibrate more freely making it loud. The 6 String Banjo is just loud because the Drumhead is acting like a really loud amplifier. These were originally used in Dixieland Jazz because back in the 1920s and 30s before we had amplification, Guitarists used these to compete w/ those Blazing loud Horns

As a musician I primarily played guitar, but when I wanted to try banjo I went for a five string. I was somewhat worried that the learning curve would be difficult, but what I think I failed to understand is that the banjo is very easy. If you’ve played any finger style guitar, that knowledge and muscle ability transfers over very well, and you get to play all the classics with an accurate sound. The five string banjo is basically as difficult as a ukulele but with an extra string you occasionally pluck but almost never fret. In my opinion, I would just take a week to play with finger picks on a real 5 string banjo and follow Jim Pankies tutorials on KZbin. I’m playing real bluegrass with 6 days worth of banjo experience and it’s exhilarating!
@Tasmanaut2 жыл бұрын
Scruggs style picking is NOTHING like any sort of fingerstyle guitar. I'm a pretty decent travis picker but bluegrass picking with the syncopation is nothing like it. The only thing that translates is your ability to fret notes. I Highly doubt you were playing proper bluegrass after 6 days.
