Thread Name: Play Banjo Pete Seeger Style - from Frank Hamilton
Subject: RE: Instrument: Banjo lessons Pete Seeger Style
yes, and thankyou for doing that
if you already finger pick on guitar, it comes naturally, however, both maybelle carters thumb style, and melody piedmont finger picking style can be used sometimes for different phrases in the same song something Pete Seeger does not cover.
