Hobart Smith’s “Last Chance” on an electric guitar restrung and played as a banjo

After hearing Tom Collins @FretlessFury play his Rickard Resophonic Banjo a few times lately over on Banjo Quest, I decided I wanted to experiment with that electric sound myself. I haven't played my electric guitar in quite some time now, so I pulled it out of the closet, dusted it off, and restrung it in a similar fashion to a banjo by replacing the 6th string with a 1st string.
While it doesn't sound like a banjo, it's quite fun to play "as" a banjo, and gives those old banjo tunes an interesting new spin that I find enjoyable to explore. It won't replace a banjo of course, but I'd call the experiment a success, and I think it'll pull me toward playing it a bit in the rotation.
If y'all haven't checked out Tom Collins' Banjo Quest page, I highly recommend it:

My own Patreon page is up as well, and I'll be detailing a lot of the banjo build process, talking basic music theory for banjos and having a lot of fun, check it out if that sounds appealing!

Thanks Tom!

this is worth pursuing!

Nice sound! Great job with the phrasing on that song as well.

Very smooth picking, Adam, really wonderful. The whole performance is great, but I especially love when you slip that deep bass in there, can't get that with a real banjo!

[@blacksheepbanjos]

Thanks Don! Yeah that extra bass string and dreamy sustain is a lot of fun to play with!

I think you are on to something Adam. Lovely!

[@bucklebell]

Love this! Amazing sound, man!

[@user-dg6iw5qb6p]

I like that. My ear is delightfully confused.

[@blacksheepbanjos]

Lol, perfect. It won't replace a banjo, but it's definitely a lot of fun!
