New Strike Adjustments

Long time, no talk...I haven't posted in quite a while. I've been sidetracked by my open back banjo. In doing so, I noticed something curious...Usually, I'm a middle finger striker. For whatever reason, I started striking with my pointer/index. I noticed the tone wasn't nearly as "muddy". It's clearer, crisper. I haven't decided if it's an anatomical difference, or I'm not as deep into the stings, or something else.So, in some ways, I'm kind of starting over. The 2-3 millimeters is a HUGE…See More

Need ideas

hey folks, I need a couple tunes. I've been in a bit of malaise and my nose stuck in books too much. And, I need to get back into the groove.So, I'm taking tune ideas. I typically work on two at a time, just for the change and frustration's sake...some may call it ADD lolSee More

Apologies...

For whatever reason, I feel the need to make an apology for my lack of posting/activity lately. I kind of plateaued and returned to the fundamentals of Briggs, Converse, and the occasional Buckley (for me, Buckley can be a very perishable skill). Unfortunately, I'm not overly enamored with any of the tunes especially, so I haven't recorded anything lately...Anyways, I'm still here!! LolSee More

"Thanks, Tim! Good to know. I didn't want to buy it and have a "non-useful" book, since I don't play fiddle."
