BANJO......Ye-ha !!

[T.C.]

You might remember a little while ago I was after getting a 5 string banjo (one with a bit of "use" and character to it, well.....
ended up having to order a brand spanking new one.

Ordered it over the 'net on Monday - posted the cheque off on Tuesday...............it arrived TODAY

Should anybody need to get anything in the musical instrument area, I can thoroughly recommend:

Cheers Darren - I'm well chuffed.

This is the baby I got:



Jim......it'll be a while yet, m8.....lol.
Just looking at the emoticon you put up......did you know that you can get electric banjos for headbanging?



Sless....Dueling banjos......what a classic tune......give me a couple of years and you never know.....lol.
Did you know that Billy Redden who played the character of "Lonnie" the banjo kid in Deliverence couldn't play a note?..... and that the director of the film had another child slip his hand through Redden's sleeve to finger the chord changes.

Here's a tune I've been wanting to learn on banjo for years:

Foggy Mountain Breakdown

No mate I didn't, would love to hear one though, must be amazing.

Makes me wonder how they can pluck as fast as that mate. Dying to hear it when you have mastered it.

Jim.

OOPS, forgot to say. Your new Banjo looks great Tony mate.

Jim.

It'll be a wee while yet, Jim...lol.

In the meantime, here's the new look TC:

WOW ,now that's speed picking ,wor kid is quick on the guitar ,he was doing Satriani stuff at the age of 14 . Looks a great thing to learn that Tony.

[willywetegg]

Lol Tony, did you find that hat in Dunston mate.

Jim.

[T.C.]

I can play it on guitar Steve, But the banjo is a completely different instrument......5 strings instead of 6 and is tuned in rather a strange way compared to a guitar. It's basically learning a totally different instrument.

I'll get there, though (eventually).....lol

[T.C.]

Lol Jim....

No m8......nicked it off the tyre slashin' car scratchin' hillbilly who lives out the back from me

[willywetegg]

I wished for a long time that I had taken the time to learn to play a musical instrument, unfortunately I opted to play the fool lol.

I have come to terms with it now though, my voices however keep telling me different he he he.
