@@deatsE have fun playing! It's a cool and approachable style

Thanks :-)

@@aldoe1980 thank you :-)

@@darrengarlough5121 yes, at least I think I did ;-)

Thanks! :-)

Thanks!

Thank you! 🙂I'm sure you'll enjoy the new banjo! The rings are a transducer pickup, K&K Pure pickup. It did mute the banjo a little bit but it's hard to tell. But I do occasionally mute the banjo (but not in this video) by putting some cloth under the strings between the bridge and tailpiece and depending on how much cloth you stick in there it can make a huge difference, sometimes too much. Foam sounds good too!

@@mateorguitar Ah thank you for the reply!🙏.. I have K& K pure mini pick ups in two of my gigging acoustic guitars. I really like them (and I have tried pretty much every other pickup system in my guitars! (including the Baggs anthem)) I was going to mic up the Banjo with a small Shure condenser mic attached to one of the rods this weekend as a trial but am interested how you rate the K&K in your banjo? Your opinion much valued🙏

@@stevewinchester6611 yeah OK so I had a similar situation, I have the K&K in my Martin and was thinking about amplifying the banjo. Well it sounds better then most! I'd say that the similarity to the real acoustic sound is less pronounced than on the guitar. But the K&K on the banjo is great and definately better then the usual piezo pickups. And the mics can feedback like crazy during gigs!

@@mateorguitar Thank you!, Yes I understand, amplifying acoustic instruments is always a compromise for live work.. The K&K is not perfect in my guitars and I put mine through an Orchid acoustic pre amp and other eq to get a good useable sound but it is the most natural sounding system I have found so far. Yep mics are a challenge live ..I am grateful for your opinion on the k&k in the banjo. I think I would go for that system. I have learnt a couple of songs using two finger style on my banjo already so I am going to mic it for a gig on Sunday as I cannot wait to try it out!!. I am working on clawhammer style but am not rushing it!.. I dont want to get into bad habits!. I will be using your videos as inspiration on my banjo journey. Many thanks for your time and best wishes from Cornwall UK.🙂

@@stevewinchester6611 good luck! Cheers :-)

Thanks! Cheers :-)

Thanks! Hahahah yeah you got me there! Guitar is the main thing for me and it's kinda hard to switch between the two definately different ways of holding the neck

Hi, I think it's one of those Remo Rennesaince banjo heads or similar. It's factory stock from Gold Tone so might be one of their own. Not sure. It's a 12 and definately way darker and bassy sound than typical banjo head

Thanks man! :-)

Thanks! Well I don't feel like that's the problem but to each their own! Cheers ✌️

I have the gloss MD815 and it’s among the louder mandolins I’ve ever played. This is more likely just the microphone or recording device.

Thanks!

Thanks! This is standard G, gDGBD

Thanks! Keep on picking! ✌️

Thanks :-) the tuning is really what makes it sound like it does I think, it's really cool to tune the banjo lower than usual

Thanks :-) it's the Gold Tone CC Carlin 12

Thank you! I'll try to find some time for those, I see people benefit even from this small video I did. It's great it was helpful. Cheers!

Thanks!

Dzięki! :-)

Thanks! Happy I could help! :-)

Great I could help! Keep on playing!

@@mateorguitar I play clawhammer and some basic 3-finger, but 2-finger has always eluded me for some reason.
