Cheers Charcloth/Duck bloke.

Have been playing fingerstyle guitar for years, so know the theory of what I'm doing but am currently translating skills across to the banjo. I myself am from Scotland and love hearing small bands that turn up in pubs all the time doing traditional music, and quite often they'll have banjo players (both 4 and 5 string). My searches for this type of music, as always, produces loads of Irish stuff, which is nice enough but not entirely what I'm looking for. I get the feeling that Scottish tunes are largely played by ear, and that I'll have to work from basic fiddle manuscript to build up any sort of repertoire. But, in the meantime, the above solutions are handy for getting going. Oh, and in style I suppose its closer to bluegrass than anything else.

Thanks guys
