(I'm not a fan of creating new threads ... it makes me feel as if I'm somehow disturbing the peace, but I didn't know where else to post this.)
Basically, I've decided that I need to stop wasting my teen life away and I want to learn to play the banjo and I don't know anyone who plays the banjo except maybe someone my friend knows through his Irish band who is no longer in the band so I don't really know him at all.
So, I was wondering if any of you forum-goers played the banjo and if you could give me some sort of guide as to what I should be looking for in purchasing one and getting books to begin learning.
I figured this was the best place I knew to ask because this is probably the largest group of good music/art - inclined people I know of.
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head. When he put me there in the back seat, and he said, "Jesus save me, Jesus save me."
My husband got a starter pack from banjo.com, Savannah SB100. He says the video that came with the starter pack was helpful with fundamentals as well as videos on youtube. He has a "teach yourself the banjo book" which he likes.
Every millisecond living at home is filled with the sound of the banjo. My brother started playing one day and is a natural... But the sound is so loud, it gets on my nerves. I have delicate sensibilities.
TWANG TWANG TWANG.
He now owns like, four banjos...
We made for an unusual pair. Me, the harp and he, his banjos.
oo, oo, figure out what style you want to play too. i fucking loveeeeeeeeeeeee old school appalachian recordings, old time folk, stuff like that.... and there is definitely a larger selection of resonator banjos if you're looking (which tends to be more for band type stuff, bluegrass, etc... at least that's the impression i get), but for the style i wanted, a cheap open back was perfect. cost me 150$. BOOM. i've had it since september, and i'm really happy with it. every once and a while i see someone with a resonator, playing in a different style, and i get envious. or annoyed that i can't try to figure it out really. but some clawhammer and picking stuff is what i'm more into, so that's what i play, yupyup. guitar is my instrument for writing songs, for being creative. i really work at it. i rarely figure out covers banjo? only old school tunes, and i only play for relaxation. no pressure. it's great.
I mean, don't get me wrong, my brother's great at the banjo! And it's nice when he plays once in awhile... But he's truly passionate about his instrument and therefore plays... a lot... WHICH IS GREAT.
But it's loud.
Very loud.
Like, I'd be playing the Super Marios and I can't even hear my dude jump; that's how loud it is.
open back is cheap, easy to play, and much quieter then resonator banjos. i dunno, look at videos online to see the difference if you want, but i'm really happy with mine
