Patrick-Costello	Banjoists, what style (68* d)	RE: Banjoists, what style	26 Jan 09
What are the reasons for choosing one 5-string banjo style over another and which styles suit which types of music? "Style" really isn't the right word to use for this. You are a lot better off thinking of the various ways to get music out of a banjo as techniques. For example, I use the technique called frailing. I can take that technique into bluegrass, slide blues, country, folk songs or any other "style" of music I choose. I can do this because I stuck to one technique long enough to get really comfortable with it. It is easy to do a lot of things badly. It takes discipline to do one thing well. -Patrick
