|
|
Well over this weekend I went to my Aunt's house and she was clearing out some of her stuff and she had asked me if I wanted to try out her banjo, and me being a musician, said yes. Well I tryed to play it and couldn't figure it out for a little while, and I'm still trying to, and she said that I could have it because she didn't have the time to play it anymore. I was shocked that she would give up her banjo, she really loved it, anyways I was wondering if anyone plays or has played a banjo and could tell me the tuning for it. I'll post pictures within the next couple of days. _________________ Gear:

The honest answer is that it depends on the banjo: Here are the common types -
Plectrum Banjo: CGBD,
5-String Banjo: gDGBD,
Tenor Banjo: CGDA
Banjo with Guitar Tuning: DGBE,
A few of my friends that play use the banjo with guitar tuning DGBE

Thanks, mine is a 5 string. After tuning and messing around with it, I couldn't put it down for an hour. _________________ Gear:

Nice score there! I've thought about the banjo from time to time myself. In the hands of a master it is hard to process exactly what they're doing, but it sounds awesome! Do you listen to any bluegrass? That would obviously be a good place to start. Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe's band, etc, to name a couple... When you feel comfortable with it, maybe you can post some clips someplace! _________________ ᛊᛈᚨᚱᚨ ᛟᚲᚢᚱ ᚠᚱᚨ ᚦᛖ ᛟᚠᛊᚨᛒᚱᛇᛞᛁ ᚨᚠ ᚦᛖ ᚾᛟᚱᚦᚢᚱ |

Now you just need to put up some videos of you playing it! Even something very basic would still be cool _________________ ᛊᛈᚨᚱᚨ ᛟᚲᚢᚱ ᚠᚱᚨ ᚦᛖ ᛟᚠᛊᚨᛒᚱᛇᛞᛁ ᚨᚠ ᚦᛖ ᚾᛟᚱᚦᚢᚱ |
