    I ordered a clawhammer/frailing bridge, which raises the 5th string up about an eight of an inch. That way i can get my thumb under the 5th string instead of striking the top of it. I'll let you know how it works out.

    • @BanjoAddict
      @BanjoAddict 21 день тому

      Let me say that is a great question. I have not thought about it before. Without researching it I would say to make some chords you need sharps and flats. And you can’t get there without 1/2 steps. For instance to make a minor chord you flatten the 3rd note a half step.

    I when STUPID and bought 6 banjos. Rogue Vintage Cameo Rover Recording King Dirty 30 - open back Davison Harmony - 40 years old. I kept seeing one I liked and buying it. My family finally intervened, LOL. I'm banned from buying any more banjos until I learn to play one of the six I now own. I also bought an Oscar Schmitt acoustic guitar, but that's for my son.

  • @markosterman419
    @markosterman419 23 дні тому

    Methinks you don’t understand the gut / nylon strings. Gut was traditionally used on nearly all five string banjos until the late 1920s. They were used for finger style playing that lead to three finger blue grass and are very bright with the right bridge and when the weather is dry. Similar to plastic banjo heads, people went to nylon strings to keep the bright sound in humid weather. Google Classic Style banjo … not classical.

    • @BanjoAddict
      @BanjoAddict День тому

      Yea I’ve studied gut strings. I know how they started, why people switched to steal and the same with nylon. It’s not rocket science. But also I don’t play with those type strings so sorry my rhetoric was off on the subject.

    $200-500 is not a cheap banjo. $70-120 is a cheap banjo. And a problem with a cheap instrument for a beginner is that you never know whether it's your bad playing technique or the instrument is having some issues. As a beginner you will never know whether the head is tight enough, the tail piece is placed right, the bridge is at the right spot, the action is optimal, the neck is too narrow, etc. This may discourage you playing the instrument all together actually. So, don't buy a cheap banjo, $200-500 is not a cheap banjo.

    • @BanjoAddict
      @BanjoAddict Місяць тому

      no offence but 70-100 dollars wont buy you a banjo, it will buy you something that resembles a banjo but is worthless when trying to learn the instrument. When i say a cheap banjo im talking of lower end banjos that you can learn on which is in the 250.00 - 700.00 range. So in comparance to a 2500 - 5000 dollar banjo yes that is cheap.

    • @Archie3D
      @Archie3D Місяць тому

      @@BanjoAddict Well, that is exactly my point. Because if someone takes the advice literary and buys a "cheap banjo" from Amazon or something, they are going to regret it big time. Average banjo price on Amazon is ~$90-150, while basic Deering or Gold Tone start from ~$500.

    I bought a Vega longneck from Dearing, last year in July and it didn’t arrive until November. I love their cases, too, but I don’t care at all for the HUGE logo. I paid good money for that banjo and I don’t think I should also have to advertise for Dearing with a logo that can be seen from outer space. Oh yeah, it’s one of the overall best instruments I’ve ever played, and I own an early seventies Mossman guitar.
