Playing Style

From Banjo-Pup on 10/26/2018 7:16:58 AM

Just wondering how you guys are playing / picking your Fossey?  I've used it with a rolling pattern over chord shapes as backup to singing, and have a few tunes I've found I like focusing a heavy using of pinching of 5ths.  But interested in other ways to get the wonderful sound from this great instrument.  I'm thinking of  trying the Travis picking style.  BTW, I usually tune down low to E or D and use the Hartford gauge string sets.  I think the lower tuning brings it to life.
