"A" part of Kitchen Girl showing 2 ways to get the same notes: Chasing the melody up and down the neck, or staying put and using adjacent strings. Tab is available; please contact me at zepp@zeppmusic.com
Nope. Black Diamond brand, black-coated corrosion resistant steel strings (they really work!). BTW, I really like our Goodtime banjos, and usually grab one to play at home. Ugly, yes, but they play so easily and sound so good...
Hey Zepp are you playing that on one of your Zeppified goodtimes or a plain ole jane,,it sounds nice..Im thinking about getting a Goodtime for a second banjo..
You know, I don't remember. It looks as if the strings are black. If that's the case, it's one I use for teaching and used for the Clearhead videos: it has a clear head and no coordinator rod (though it is scooped). The background tells me it was in the store, so it's not my original "zeppified" one (which is home), and neither is it my wife's pink Goodtime!
Possibly, but that would only hold true for real beginners. I think it's simply easier to find the notes there, and clawhammer is all about taking the easy route! :-)
Indeed. Neither to bluegrass banjo players! But, for some reason, a lot of old-time players seem to chase melodies up and down the 1st string. Perhaps a holdover from fretless days?
black strings..nylgut then! cool..man I cant believe how sweet of a tone a goodtime has. woodsy, should have got one a long time ago.

Could be because it's easier to frail the first string?
