She would make one hell of a banjo player.
She’s convinced me….! but, but,, she's got flyaway fangers,, they should stay closer to the fretboard, then again, who am I to judge?

when i was playing classical guitar ,,, it was a struggle to reach some of those stretches ,,, i was listening to Andres Segovia and Jorge Caballero. since i couldn't see them play it made life hard.... so i took up the banjo LOL !!!!!!
1935tb-11 I figured with yer Italian heritage you’d go after those easier Carcassi and Carulli guitar pieces. Here’s a Carulli I put on the banjo. Kinda tubby sounding though,, I should re-record it without the mute.

Guitarists, banjoists…. don’t grip the neck as if you’re trying to pulverize it into sawdust, , it creates hand tension …
