Such a clever way to use a banjo
These girls do excellent Beatle covers but I was kind of blown away by the use of a banjo to cover George's electric guitar riffs!? Never seen that?

Yes I realized it was a banjitar but was more interested in the sound as a substitute for a electric guitar, just clever.

Huh, that was interesting. I like the idea of using a banjo to cover guitar riffs, but that banjitar definitely sounded like a plugged-in signal with just a touch of hair on it, not the acoustic banjo sound. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd gotten my hopes up for the acoustic banjo plunk. Still, a good idea and one I might play around with. Thanks for posting the vid!

Yes, I was intrigued by the 6 string electric banjo too :
This is it : Deering® Boston 6-String Acoustic/Electric Banjo $3000 of round bodied electric guitar The vocals / harmonies were great - that sibling thing I guess. Good stuff!

I love these ladies, and the banjo work was just icing on the cake, but 30 years ago I had an acoustic trio that used to do "I've Just Seen A Face" with banjo (a 6-string Deering D-6 at first, until I bought a 5-string): perfect for the opening ascending-arpeggio riff, and during the instrumental break we substituted a slowed-down "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" for the 12-string solo - never failed to draw laughs from the bluegrassers in the house...

Thank goodness this topic wasn't referring to the Brooklyn Folk Festival "annual Banjo toss"!

I have a band that performs only at the Anchorage Folk Festival called “The Twangabillies.” I sing lead and play a Deering six string guitar-banjo, playing both guitar and banjo lines on it.
It works well in the context of the band, which is a sort of rockabilly/country blend (hence the Twangabilly name.) Wade Hampton Miller

I heard Molly Mason tell a story about banjitars. There's a bit of history behind them that goes back to the time of 1920's in the US when bars kept them handy in case the piano was out of order in their establishment. The banjitar was used for accompaniment to singing and in place of the piano.
