I play guitar and once did dueling banjo's with a brilliant 5 string banjo player, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. A bit hard to play finger style since I broke two fingers. This is one of my old much loved guitars

I play guitar badly and have done since I was about 8 or something. What annoys me is I've shown 3 or 4 mates how to play years ago and they're all now loads better than me. 2 are in bands every now and again by the looks of it on Facebook. Really annoying. Not sure why I hadn't progressed since about 12 lol

Andrew I would love to learn the banjo, the guitar part in dueling banjo's is quite simple, sounds better on an acoustic imo, I have a six string Simon & Patrick Luthier, and an Ibanez. The tele is my pride and joy though, I used the telecaster in my band days, I was half decent back then.
