@Der:
I just thought that everyone played the guitar so I wanted to play something different. They say the banjo is harder than guitar at first because you have to learn to pick it. But after you learn that it gets easier than a guitar because there are only 4 strings to learn instead of 6. (the 5th is a drone)
After I hit college I realized the banjo was pretty limited for styles such as rock-n-roll so I started learning guitar.
You do any fiddlin’ with that violin? :lol:
I do fiddle a bit, played in small band, a lot of rhythmic stuff than melodic though. That’s still a blast, especially when jamming.
