Stringing the high G, that nasty bit of string and shreding my thumb

Monday, May 30, 2016

When I strung my banjo and nipped the high G string (fifth string), I left a tiny piece of metal protruding from the tuning head string post.  No problem with a guitar or mandolin.  But I was playing banjo with a capo on the second fret and soon found that the inside of my left thumb was raw from rubbing against it.  Obviously, I'm doing something wrong with re-stringing that string, and I'm sure more experienced players have a solution.  Thanks.
