That's quite a good question Phyte! The timbre and sound clarity of a banjo is greater than a guitar, but the sustain is much less for obvious reasons. And its very true that some things come out better on different instruments. It doesn't mean you can't play a song on banjo, simply that you might want to go for a different "arrangement" or picking pattern more appropos to the instrument.

You'll notice I wrote the above without making one of the infinite number of available wiseass comments that are so easy. Can someone get me a medal please? Or at least write down the date and time?

I'm sorry Phyte, but Rick cannot be trusted in these matters as old age is setting in on him and he can't tell a coconut from a peach pit anymore. When I'm in Toronto, I'll check them out for myself...........And BTW, the special glasses are needed because its a "3-D" tuning.....very old, very bad joke.
