Electric banjo - improvising

I made built-in FX processor for this banjo to get guitar-like sound. The sustain is longer because of special metal clip on the bridge.

What songs are they?

@licantrop7 - It is something like medley of The House of the Rising Sun, Pink Panther theme and the Popcorn melody.

I taught myself this special "electric guitar like" style on 5-str.banjo. But I have learnt Scruggs and Keith style banjo at the first and played bluegrass in beginning.

It was made by Mr. Neuszer from Slovakia. I bought it from second hand for $1000 and rebuilt electronics (added FX processor inside and changed banjo pickup). Try to google some of Czech handcrafters e.g. Janish or Capek banjos.

You´re wrong. The main advantage is to have just instrument on stage and easy to switch from banjo to guitar with lot of effects. I can play bluegrass banjo, steel guitar, telecaster, overdriven rock guitar on one instrument.
