i wouldn't say you were a novice. I wish I could pick like that. I didnt know that a banjo can be converted to a 5 string. Actually there is quite a bit i dont know about the banjo, but thought about getting one because i love the sound
Was a green Iguana, lived 5 years, died suddenly, I say leave the lizards in their natural environments. Raising one is very difficult and time consuming.
Pretty good. How long have you played? And if I may ask what was the hardest for you about learning the banjo? I have been learning it for almost 3 months now. Mike.
Tell your wife that her cousin from DC said "hi"! No... really... I'm her cousin... and I live in DC! ;) I stumbled upon your clips here and thought I'd drop a line! I'm glad to see you're having fun and living what looks like a comfortable, happy life! Keep up the fun music and great sense of humor!
Until 1900 the banjo remained essentially a black instrument, although at times there was considerable interaction between whites and blacks in enjoying music and dance—whites usually participating as observers. What brought the instrument to the attention of the nation, however, was a grotesque representation of black culture by white performers in minstrel shows. Usurpation
actually the instruments brought over by the blacks where more of a percussion instrument.Far different than what is being played,you can credit the scots for those.
I never played a musical instrument until I was 37 and it was the banjo; I`d say it`s difficult to learn but the payoff of the sound is worth it and I enjoy entertaining myself, friends and family. the banjo is unique and people really take notice if you play well
ha ha ha ....you're probably some dumb ass invalid that listen's to nthing but rapp + hip hop bubble gum crap you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!!!
thats real cool man, ur the first person ive seen not look at the guitar while playing something good.. i guess u use ur fingers as eyes while playing.
i think its aweful that just because this man plays bamjo you assume hes heterosexual. its that kind of ignorance that is bringing our proud country down.
hahah. i hate stereotypes like this. i've been all over america, and the intelligence range is pretty much the same no matter where you go. "studmasterr69" is obviously low in that range.
you are not homosexual if you play the banjo, moron. however, you are homosexual if you claim that people who play the banjo are homosexual. seriously, he's got more talent in his pinky than you have in your whole body. just because you suck at life doesn't mean you have to dog on people who don't.
whats better, a homosexual banjo player in a very homophobic redneck society or an extremely gay beatboxer whos looking for a gay rapper (which is difficult to find). i wish them both luck.
You know what perfect pitch is, right? Throwing a banjo into a dumpster without hitting the sides! Okay, I'm just kidding! It is an overused joke in many acoustic bluegrass circles.
man i must have my head up my @55, i mean, it's not like anyone ever liked to perform in a public forum... sry if i came off that way but no worries, really. banjos were made for dueling... accept it.
but apparently u are cause u deleted my first post. i don't know why you would, im just like you, trying to spread appreciation for an under appreciated instrument. it does take much skill and dedication to play it well.
What cracks me up is that all the douchebags making fun of this clip are probably the same douchebags praising the "beat box bull****" that was a video of the day today.
wow. everyone who made fun of him should die right now. that was great playing, and banjos are awesome. studmaster69, you wouldn't know talent if it hit you in the face.
What a bunch of bigoted asses responding to this. Did the big, bad banjo player interrupt your precious masturbation? Get a life. At least this guy is actually skilled at something.
