I wouldn't believe Earl was like that, either, and I can honestly imagine it being great fun to do. Quote:

Personally, I think a few other must-learn pieces (now, these are in melodic style) would be Blackberry Blossom (lovely piece!), Devil's Dream, and Red Haired Boy. OK, the list could go on..... By the way.... I'm sure there are other good books available (and now websites of course too) that I am not aware of, but these are the books I learned from: My first book was the classic book by Pete Seeger...... http://www.amazon.com/5-String-Banjo.../dp/1597731641 (my copy is red though!) My recollection is that this had a more complete version of Foggy Mountain Breakdown - complete with variations up the neck - than Earl Scruggs' book. This book also includes introductions to some playing styles other than 3-finger picking - frailing, for example. http://www.amazon.com/Earl-Scruggs-5...ggs+banjo+book http://www.samash.com/p/Hal%20Leonar...FYw-Mgod8GYAjw AND MY FAVORITE......I love this book.....it totally transformed my banjo playing........ http://www.amazon.com/Melodic-Banjo-.../dp/0825601711 This is my favorite sort of banjo playing style.

This took longer than expected, but there's a banjo coming my way. Dobro will come later.
To the last post - I actually play those three fiddle tunes on the mandolin by now and trying to keep up with guitar as well. I suppose I'll have to learn them on banjo and record it. |

Here's another vote for the banjo and might I recommend a round neck resonator? either single or tri-cone might do you just fine and a $6 nut riser gives you an instant slide only instrument...
Might give you a call someday...I work in Almelo and Enschede on occasion!

You may, but I like Jerry Douglas and he uses a square neck.
Almelo and Enschede is a long way away from where I live. For Dutch standards that is, I mean, with a 3-4 hour drive you're pretty much through the whole country. Would still be pretty cool though. |
