I've been told I'm a great traditionalist but I'm looking for ways to better enhance my skills and techniques.I'm also trying to start a band so I can go full time in doing what I love! Been trying a few things on the mandolin as well and can chord guitar.Also play some Bass.But mainly I like to stick to the ole banjo.Very fun and interesting instrument. Wanting very much to enhance my techniques and intergrate them in a more NewGrass, Irish Folk, Up-tempo feel while sticking to Traditional roots.:)LOL
