Trying to get a bit of var
iation in my playing I thought I'd play with a pick - but I haven't got one, so I used my finger nail instead. Quite liked the result, it's bit softer than a pick.

Playing with a Pick
Trying to get a bit of variation in my playing I thought I'd play with a pick - but I haven't got one, so I used my finger nail instead. Quite liked the result, it's bit softer than a pick.

Make Your Own Banjo part 5 - audio
Here's a first sample of the 'big dog' in action. I'm still suffering with a trapped nerve and can't play for more than a couple of minutes - this may also be due to the fact that big dog weighs a ton!
You can hear the buzzing on the first string and the actions a bit high, but these things can be sorted. The achievement is that it actually makes a sound!
Rumour has it that Harry wants to make another!

Make Your Own Banjo part 4
Harry dropped in the banjo the other day for a first set up. Its big, hefty and loud! It sounds a bit brash compared to the Windsor but with a bit of proper setting up its gonna be sweet. Uncle Harry's done a fantastic job and this thing is a real labor of love.

Nebraska
Had a practice with the guys today and felt inspired to have a solo go at Nebraska.
I've capoed the banjo at the 5th fret, and apart from the shrieking, i like the higher pitch.
