Tim Weed shows off the new EMG ACB banjo pickup for EMGtv 

Tim is accomplished in all styles of banjo. He started in bluegrass with a group that include Allison Brown and Stuart Duncan. Nice to see a banjo taken to the limits.

I love that he takes the banjo outside the comfort zone when it comes to playing. Its goes to show how versatile this instrument can be.

Kinda sounds like a Sitar... awesome!!!

I love his style and the note choices!

Wow!!! Killer banjo video! Your production quality is superb! Sound, picture, editing, lights, all amazing! I've been doing video for a few years now, and EMG really sets the bar high, man...............

I'am amazed by his playing,woooow,really good!

I googled "EMG Banjo" hoping to find someone rigging an EMG 81 onto a banjo but this was so cool.

This is pretty awesome!

Amazing!

As a guitarist, I have been trying to branch out into different stringed instruments. At first, when I was 16, the Gibson Les Paul going into a Marshall stack was as far as I could see. Then cam the baritone guitar, then the acoustic, and so on. I found a bouzouki in a pawn shop once. Fell in love with that and now the banjo is my current focus. Oh, I still play everything else, but the banjo has a vibe that no simulator can copy. These pickups sound so good. I didn't know that they made em'!

Very cool

Never thought i'd say that a banjo needs EMGs. haha that's metal!

Revocation needs one of these.

this is sick he`s playing indian music with a banjo very different,he`s very progressive in his playing a range of stuff on the banjo and classical music

Whoa that was metal

Egyptian banjo???!!!?!?!? WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGIC!!!!!

Weed and banjo - what more could a man ask for?

Banjo remindes me the sound of bouzouki.

He sounds a lot like the lead singer from REO Speedwagon, Kevin Cronin.

Sure! But only if a djentelman wants to djent!
