GUEST,Jom	Learning to play the banjo (63* d)	RE: Learning to play the banjo	26 Dec 07
"I would treat the six string banjo,like a four string Banjo or six string guitar as regards flat picking" I can't in that with my own tenor and mandolin playing, I rest the thumb side of my hand on the instrument body. I can't span the 6 strings of my guitar that way and I am trying to adopt a free right hand. I also find the right hand on guitar more difficult in another way when trying to flat pick jigs and reels. Whereas in GDAE, most of the stuff I play only involves moving to the next string for the next note, with std tuned guitar I find I might have to miss a string (eg 3rd string to 1st), and playing 3 successive notes on different strings is quite common.
