I am a self taught frettless banjo player and personally I feel formal musical training in not needed. Just keep trying learn by ear it is more interesting then sheet music.

Thanks for this! Question - are your nails short? - I can't quite make that out from the video. I need to keep my left hand nails short for playing guitar and other fretted stringed instruments.

I definitely keep my fretting nails pretty short. Otherwise they'd get in the way of fretting on a fretted banjo. Even with short nails, it's possible to roll up on the nail and use it to fret if you can get a steep angle against the string. Give it a whirl!

Can I use a capo on a nylon string fretless banjo changing from standard G to A?

Is the slide technique same for nylon strings as for steel strings?
@FretlessFury5 жыл бұрын
Great question, Nick! I'll be talking about nylon strings in a future video. You can definitely use your nails on nylon strings...just be light and gentle (but that advice holds true no matter what you doing on the instrument). Thanks for the question!

It's funny - I've been playing with my left hand rotated and have been doing slides on fretted guitar and banjo forever, and I get TONS of notching in my nails, go figure!
