Deering "Goodtime" banjo

On the very first episode of our series, we find out what happens when you put a well-made banjo in the hands of someone with zero banjo experience! Perhaps the real test of an instrument is not what it can do in the hands of a skilled professional, but how well it inspires a novice to learn and create.

"...nor do I intend to."

This was great! Not only do I feel like learning to play the banjo, but I feel I've enough basic knowledge to pick out a decent one and hold it rightside up!

Thanks!

>but I feel I've enough basic knowledge to pick out a decent one and hold it rightside up!

yeah, about that... my MacBook apparently flips webcam videos backward to create a "mirror" effect... which means you should actually do the opposite of what i'm doing in the video...

you see, this is really a MIS-education campaign we're running here. MUAHAHAHAAAAA!!

No wonder people were chucking gravel at me when I pulled out my banjo at the bus stop hoping to make some lunch money! Your evil plot, ahh!

[studio2stereo]

no, no: that means they wanted an encore! (i speak a little Appalachian...)

i.e. "i know exactly shit about the banjo, so it kinda begs the question as to where i get off making an 'instructional video' about the thing..." all i can say is; YouTube server space is free!

:?p
