Banjo Blues
« on: December 27, 2021, 10:32:02 AM »
Arthritis and old injuries have jacked up my hand. So, I have been working on more blues stuff with the five-string banjo. Just thought I would share a couple of examples to see if there are any other banjo pickers around here.

I have to admit, I am somewhat shocked at how easily bottleneck works with frailing banjo. I have a solid-body electric banjo in the works, so pray for my neighbors.

Hi Patrick, Welcome to Weenie Campbell.

I'm no expert on banjo but it sounds good to me. The YouTube links don't work, at least where I live.
