Better musicianship too.

Do you play any other instrument than banjo ( not that there's anything wrong with banjo I dig it)? I've played guitar and bass for about 25 years looking to try another stringed instrument. Maybe mandolin.

This is my favorite Springsteen album. The songs are so simple, that's what makes it genius.

I can barely play a banjo brother! haha Just recently I hooked up with another banjo player and a guitar player so my playing has improved.

I own 2 banjos, mandolin, harmonica(s), alto recorder, guitar and have played concert flute but I just stick with banjo. I find it to be a happy sound.

I tune the guitar to open G (spanish) and frailing it like a banjo once in a while. Mando's are hard on the fingers but easy to strum out a few tunes.

Ever play with a slide?

I have a slide I'm not very good with it.

Ever consider a banjo? Frailing is fun and pretty easy. It took a week to get the bum-i-ditty down and I was off.

A harmonica really helps to get me out of a slump in my playing. If I'm working a difficult song I mess with the harmonica and it seems to help workout the tune in my head.

Some 6 string banjo with a slide (not me).

Have you ever played a dobro? I love the old country blues of Charlie Parker on a dobro. You could always get a dobro and play it like a guitar, up right I mean instead on your lap. In the banjo world we have a Dojo (dobro banjo) by Gold Tone and I've often thought of getting one.

Here's a dojo, it has a mellow, booming sounds compared to my banjos.
