Hello everyone! I need a new song to play. I want something that does a lot of "brushes" (so that I'm making a lot of sound), and goes up the neck a fair a good amount, in open G. Something that looks/sounds more impressive to play than it really is... Any recommendation? Thanks

p.s. just took the resonator off my banjo and switched from nickel to bronze strings. Quite a difference!!
Thanks

Watch Walt Koken’s YouTube videos. Lots of brushing, and he uses the whole fingerboard.
