I'm glad you said that. I was trying to get back to the roots of the plectrum banjo. Turns out that the first plectrum players were five stringers who played with a flat pick. I had this in mind when I did this, and I think it's cool you picked up on it

Fantastic Kevin! I also play four string banjos (as well as 5 string), and I sure wish I had your tremolo!
