@KatrinaMess Steve Martin was born in Texas...but I don't think you need to be from Appalachia to be a great banjo player (Mike Seeger and Bela Fleck are both New Yorkers).
We all love Steve Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a great comedian, and a self taught musician. I think it's great that he is really doing quite well in the bluegrass industry.Way to go Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@traildust32 !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the input... As I said I *thought* he played Deerings usually.... I knew it was a bit different than the $400 Deering Goodtime banjos I see a lot! :-)
@doninwv If you look up another banjo player by the name of Mark Johnson he has the same model of banjo and is a good friend of Steves. I've heard he taught Steve alot of clawhammer style stuff and plays quite similar to this.
@traildust32 Yes, I'm familiar with Mark Johnson but not his particular instruments. I kinda like to listen to Mean Mary here on the 'Tube; she plays one of those 'cheap' Deerings.
"AIR HORN" !! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. GOTTA LOVE HIM. Thanks for the upload.

Where did he get exposed to such classic bluegrass banjo? He has the real mountain feel for it but he's not from the Smoky Mountain places is he?

The difference between a rocker & a bluegrasser? A rocker plays all night and never tunes, a bluegrasser tunes all night and never plays...

@Robin18us I'm not positive about what kind it is, not being a banjo expert really, But he usually plays a Deering......
