Thread Name: Banjoists, what style
Subject: RE: Banjoists, what style
I have to say thatIam full of admiration for Sully and his books are very good,however,if one takes Sullys g banjo book,some of the tunes are not in the keys that they are played in at sessions, Egans polka,banish misfortune,congress reel,ballyhoura mountains,humours of tulla.
ok you can capo,but everytime you have to capo,you have to retune.
with single string style on a 5 string you dont have this problem,neither do you have it in a tenor banjo.
the disadvantage,or is it an advantage,is that single string style can sound like a Tenor banjo.
