Reuben

Picking Reuben, Reuben's Train, Train 45 or whatever you call it on the old 5-string banjo. I start off the way Earl played it and add influences from other pickers as the song conitnues. I've been playing this song for some years now and really enjoy it.

Excellant job loved it I have been thinking about upgrading to a better goldtone and have looked at this model would you recommend this one

[Banjomountain]

@rickshunter1 Absolutely. The OB-250 is one of the nicest and best sounding banjos under 2 grand. It is almost identical to the high end Gibsons, etc.

[Banjomountain]

@owsleyforkmusic GoldTone OB-250.
