dilly daly of Adelaide Six string banjo , help (40) RE: Six string banjo , help 27 Nov 09


I've fot a Martinez 6 string benjo bought here in Australia.The music shop suggested it would be easier to play as i play the guitar.First it is so good to see a sight where people know so much about this type of instrument.I couldn't find any help at all within Australia.It is not at all like a guitar and when tuned to EADGBE nothing i do with it sounds familiar.Is it best to finger pick only ?
I'll try the different tunings above and look for thinner strings.If i try open g tuning for example and want to play "the cuckoo" what do i have to do to the usual guitar chords for this song ?
             thamks, dilly
