Does anyone play this instrument?
One of my housemates is teaching me as he is very proficient with the guitar where I'm very much a novice. I'm finding it really interesting to play and I love the sound, I've learnt a few songs but my favourite so far is Here comes the sun by the Beatles, which sounds spectacular on the banjo (when he plays it, when I play it, it sounds a little rough).

I was actually thinking about getting one for my birthday but I thought the difficulty level might be a bit high for me. It's gonna be this or a bass guitar. Honestly, I think I will prefer the sound of a bass but I love banjos too.

Here is an example of some epicness.

That video is awesome! Thank you for posting it. They're incredible, if I practice enough maybe one day haha.

I am a very untalented musician, I got quite good at violin but I had to work very hard at it, I don't think I have any natural ability with instruments but the banjo seems fairly easy to pick up, Bass is a brilliant instrument so I'm sure you will have a lot of fun whichever one you opt for.

I actually just found a way better song/performance. You've got me listening to banjo music now. Looking at this, it's hard to imagine ever reaching the level of these guys. However, if we work hard we can probably be half as good.

I thought we were going to discuss this song




But no I haven't fiddled with a Banjo but once. I've wanted to learn to play, along with other not so mainstream instruments like harmonica
