I had a banjo for about 6 years. Ain't picked up one in a few though. Stick to my guitars now. Have been for over 22 years now

 

[nybor62]

never owned a banjo , had a good friend when i lived in london , miriam kelly, irish musician most amazing banjo player i have ever seen

 

[Bubblecraft]

When I got the banjo, I was actually going out to get a ukulele but came home with that lol

 

[enduro]

A mate has let me have his banjo to sse if i like it..

 

[Bubblecraft]

Is it a 5 string? I loved mine. Your putting me in the mood for another but rooms getting pretty full of instruments again lol

 

[enduro]

Yes a 5 string.

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.

Dan I tried to play classical gas when I came to your house, I used to have it off to a tee, but I was to rusty, at least you recognised my feeble attempt at Norwegian wood.:lol:

 

[Dan]

I remember that!

Norwegian wood rocks I love that tune. I can play the beginning bit of classical gas but nothing more. You're good mate don't put yourself down! Also a brilliant singer too and that's definitely something I can't do though do seem to think I can every now and again after a few beers.

Showed one of my mates classical gas on youtube and said I was trying to learn it and get back into the guitar, and he ended up being able to play that too. Grrrrrrr it annoys me. lol

 

[Bubblecraft]

Love playing duelling banjos. Been many years since I was in bands. Now just do my own recording at home. Heavily cut down my instrument collection a few years back. Didn't have time to play them all.
Now I've only got my 5 Zakk Wylde custom Les Paul's, a 6 string & 12 string electro acoustic, my Digitech GNX4 & my Marshall stack. Another 2 Zakk customs coming in the new year though (don't tell the mrs lol)

Dude, those guitars rock! Where do you get custom ones from like that? (and all your other ones?!?!?!)

 

[Dan]

My guitar is out of tune and I'm not even going to tune it. I nearly wanted to play it then. ha

Cheers Dan. The Ivory bullseye, Camo bullseye & the Buzzsaw are all original apart from the odd tweak to the electrics & the pups. The rebel/confederate started life as a white Les Paul. Done the work myself. Started on a Saturday morning & finished by Sunday evening. That includes drying times. Here's the vid of the project when I done it:

The BLS (black one) started off as a custom black Les Paul. Again, done the work myself with water slide decals.
The 2 I'm doing next year will involve a little more work. For example, the vertigo with start off as a Zakk custom Camo bullseye & completely stripping the top & replacing it with maple & new binding etc.
Looking forward to it!
