Bseed, I did read the rest of your post; but not owning a banjo at the moment, and not really being familiar with the feel of one, I found it hard to follow. However I did download the thread for future reading, as if I ever get me a banjo, the information will be very usefull

I have noticed that Son House, unlike the other country blues players, swings at the wrist when he plays. The other players of his school seem to use the minimum of hand and are all fingers
