Hi Ben, - I've never played banjo before and it has a lovely bright happy sound to it!
The banjo was what John Lennon's Mother taught him to spark his interest in music - and from there an uncle gave him a harmonica.
(And then meeting Paul and George later changed everything.)
(Also, Billy Connolly the famous Scottish comedian started off playing banjo first too.)
*Can I ask what make of finger picks you use and are they what you would recommend for new players of either banjo or accoustic guitar?
*And any tips on getting faster at strumming on accoustic guitar?*
( I have heard it said previously - that musicians who started off on banjo then played guitar - that it made it easier for them to become faster guitar players!
( Do you think there's any truth in that from your own playing experience? )
*Lastly, has a bigger bodied banjo ever been made before - because the sound from a bigger banjo would surely give it even more of a great sound!
Thank you in advance for your reply!
I use Sammy Shelor fingerpicks, available on the store site. They are kinda expensive but work great for banjo or guitar, though any of the cheaper metal picks would be good, like the Dunlop: store.banjobenclark.com/collections/picks/products/dunlop-nickel-fingerpicks?_pos=1&_fid=cf34f4b79&_ss=c
To get faster strumming, watch this: ua-cam.com/video/2skouq6mYQY/v-deo.html
No, the two instruments have completely different pick hand approaches. Of course, there are parallels in the fret hand.
Yes, there are bigger banjos but the sound is subjective: store.banjobenclark.com/collections/banjo/products/gold-tone-mastertone%E2%84%A2-ml-1-bela-fleck-model-baritone-banjo-with-case?_pos=33&_fid=5688a9566&_ss=c
