What is your favorite one?
That a some banjos can shatter glass and strip paint! I’ve been trying to do that with my banjo but had to resort to a brick and some paint.
...............Just maybe it's me and not a myth

Although not a myth..
The best banjo line i have heard was repeated by ...
Mr. Mike Gregory ..
Where it was explained to him...
"It's your banjo kid...play it annah way you want..."
That the banjo will make you a babe magnet.
That we're all inbred.
Practice 10,000 hours, and you’ll be a virtuoso. That’s a lot of work to uncover a myth.
One of my favorite myths, is that a death grip on the neck creates more fret wear. It's actually the opposite.This has been heavily discussed here over the years, with some of the more knowledgeable veterans agreeing that’s it’s actually a lighter touch, that creates more fret wear. The more a string vibrates against the fret, the more fret wear. This includes a light touch, slides, and hammer ons. The harder you grip the string against the fret, the less fret wear.
