  • I really hate the banjo...

  • love it! thanks for sharing.

  • Wow. If there is a cd of something like this out there, I hope someone can direct me. I've been searching everywhere for simple banjo music, bluegrass, that is unique, and this Elizabethan flavour is just the thing I've been craving. I think its fantastic when someone tries something new and does it good. Its so unique. Love it.

  • That's pretty cool! I've never heard Elizabethan music on banjo before. Have you tried Vivaldi?

    Keep a pluckin' and a strummin'!

  • Great music! That piece definitely works on the banjo. Would love to hear more Elizabethan music played on that instrument. There were wire strung instruments in Elizabethan times, but I don't know that any were played in quite that way. Thanks for sharing!!

  • It's a 5 string banjo - open-back, & with the the top of the neck scooped out for softer, more rhythmic clawhammer style playing,using the back of the fingernails in a "claw"- this is the oldest style of playing,derived from the African origins of the banjo.Bluegrass 5 string banjos are louder, with a big resonator & tone ring & are played with metal picks.

  • what sort of banjo is this? i know there is like different styles/types, (tenor, longneck and stuff) but id like to learn this type. cheers
