Hello,

I feel your work is very authentic and fresh. I am doing a small project for a school in California on the Gold Rush and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me using your banjo music? I would really appreciate it,

Thank you,

Max

Hi Max!

Thank you for your compliments !

I am convinced your intentions are good , but in my opinion it would be better for your pupils if I could play a number of tunes for them "live".Unfortunately I cannot come over to the U.S. to do so , because of the high costs, which I simply cannot afford due to my low income. Nevertheless I wish you lots of success with your project !

Kind Regards,

Banjokid17

very nice!

Thank you!

You're also sweet!

i notice your thumb movements on the picking hand. try to keep it straight and don't let it bend.

[banjokid17]

thank you for your advise , krimskrams, but

the moving of my hand is part of my own style of playing ,which I have developped over the years and which is not exactly comparable with

"the common style" of picking.

@banjokid17 Hi, thank you. It's about the California Gold Rush and mining. It's not a live performance but on a school video project on gold mining in 1849. Thank you and I respect your decision.

Proč máš to banjo tak špinavé ?

It's interesting to hear melody and harmony on one instrument... But it is a banjo, so I suppose you can do anything! Good Job!
