Nate Posted October 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2013 So I know I'm ugly, and I also know that 5-string banjo is probably my weakest string instrument, too. I mean, I can pick some tunes on one like if we were in a bind or something, but the metal fingerpicks themselves limit what I can do with one. I play classical guitar, that uses your fingers, but its WAY different. What banjo really reminds me of, and actually how I approach it, is the finger action is similar to slap popping bass Funkadelic style like Bootsy Collins Most 5 string banjo players take a different approach Playing fretted strings with a pick is what I've done most of my life. That's my "native language" so to speak I have and play a lot of different instruments, though there's more than that....like this little concertina so I was thinking about just uploading a sound file of some actual music, since you all were such good sports about the banjo video Anybody got anything they'd like to hear? I mean which instrument....I'll play what I want, I'm not a jukebox, but... like to hear some modern music flatpicked on a steel string guitar? a Christmas carol on the classical guitar? groove a fretless bass? wanna hear what a concertina sounds like? I'll probably do some recording this weekend, so you're gonna get something more than likely, but if anybody's got a suggestion before I get something in my head, I'm all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted November 1, 2013 I want to do an audio recording because I really don't have video stuff other than that 10 year old web cam, and its got the buzz in it, which is the cord shorting out. I have more options of buzzing free audio with either my field recorder or my USB I/O interface that I can plug instruments into directly. I'm going to fool around with the audio stuff this weekend anyway, because I'm going to record some Christmas carols this month to put on a CD for Mom this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
