Thread Name: Banjoists, what style
Subject: Banjoists, what style
I know there have been alot of threads talking about what kind of banjo's we play and such, but I would like to get an idea of what styles of playing mudcatters have.

I started banjo 3 finger style, with Scruggs style also,(I consider them 2 different styles) after playing fingerstyle guitar for some time.

3 finger with and without picks for 4.5-5 years, until recently starting to learn clawhammer.

I've been learning alot from the Youtubes posted by Patrick Costello, and I have been having a blast with it.

Using what I already knew from guitar and 3 finger, my improvisational abilities have just exploded.

Anyone else have this happen by switching styles?

Tell me your story.
