Six String Banjo Part I by Brad Davis 

Remember - if a tubby, ringing sound is what you're after then the 6-string will work. If you're playing in a full horn band, doing Dixieland or hot jazz then a 4 string _ plectrum, tenor, Chicago - with it's brighter, cutting sound would be better.

I've been in a bit of a guitar rut lately.. This may snap me out of it.. Thanks for your video!

Thanks for settling my head on my new purchase of a 6 String Banjo - I’m excited now

Great demo! Just ordered mine now!

Great thanks the piece you wrote sound remarkable Bach like to me I play guitar 5 string banjo mandolin & tenor guitar I have a 6 string Barnes and Mullins banjo your video gives me a lot to work on thanks

Thanks nice to hear roll’s and rhythms from the guitarjo

It would be good if you put more 6 string banjo playing on. You have given me some really good ideas. 👍😊

Great lessons. Just subscribed. I picked up a 6-string banjo a few weeks ago. Been concentrating on finger picking. Helps on guitar as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time.

Thanks, great info and playing.

I look forward to Part 2.

This instrument was originally used in Jazz because it allowed Guitarists to compete w/ those Blazing loud horns long before we had amplification.

Invaluable lesson Brad! You're spot on with the target-note strumming. I'm coming from a 30s swing band context and Freddie taught us well how 1-note 'chords' with a projecting instrument are all you need - full strum on that beast would be massive overkill. I'm Jonesin' hard for one of those, but will barely afford the base Goodtime model. Question: Is a closed back significantly better for forward projection? Seems it would be. If so, can I retrofit a piece of hardwood on an open back model to achieve that? Thanks again, this is masterful stuff, yet so clearly taught and learnable even for a beginner.

This is quite a loud instrument that you can really hear it over other instruments.

Thanks a lot!

Black Mountain picks resolve issue of holding a flat pick in readiness?

Awesome I'm a learnin

Great instruction. I do like the tone of your banjo. Is it the Deering Goodtime model?

Johnny St Cyr played one of these

Is it worth buying a banjo from Caraya? Is it a good company?

How do you amplify that thing for live playing?

I wanna sound better. Let me know if you do private lessons online.

I just got a Dean six string banjo and I’m trying to learn some chords.

Если ты играл арпеджио на гитаре пальцами, и горя не знал, то с гитар-банджо забудь об этом. Теперь придется все играть медиатором, как металлисту, чтобы инструмент зазвучал! 😮 Спасибо за предупреждение! 😁

You mean Guitar Part 1

Hi what strings do you recommend

this is how guitar players become guitar players that cant play a banjo

I'm about to buy a cheap one of these. I've never had a nice instrument in my long ass miserable life.

These things are an abomination.
