Lesson One: Play a lot of notes really fast and no one will know.
BTW: I am a proud owner of Desert Rose PSG and an OME banjo, and I wouldn't part with either regardless of your distaste for the latter. |

I've yet to meet a banjo player who could name the notes on his instrument beyond the open strings. Nor do they seem to care.

| I like banjo music, but much of the Scruggs style stuff by many people tends to be extremely monotonous. I wonder if other have the same impression and any speculation on why this is. I do not seem to have the same impression with clawhammer style. |

Q. How can you tell which steel players also play banjo? A. We're the ones who are working!

Check out "Classic Banjo" a web site from England. They play from sheet music.
