Well, last night I got to spend an hour cruising the web on the subject of Banjos. I learned some cool and game changing stuff:
First of all, my pleasantly worn Vega 1920s 4 string banjo is a 'Tenor'.
Whenever I was attracted to Banjo, it turns out I was listening to Bluegrass on a 5 string banjo. Searching around, it turns out that there isn't much bluegrass technique posted for a tenor... <DOH>
But hey, I did find some really cool Irish Folk Music played with a Tenor.
Note: years ago, I spend a week in Kilkenny, and LOVED the sound of an irish band... almost bought a Bodhron.
Also found Stringcordeta's beautiful Youtube entrys.
So I'll be learning some Boys of Blue Hill and Lady B Good instead of Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
