Thread Name: 6 string Banjo???
Subject: RE: 6 string Banjo???
After listening to Harvey I see that he is keeping to the treble strings and just using the bass (5 and 6) when absolutely necessary. He is quite an artist who gets more out of this instrument than I'd thought possible. The Carter style and Elizabeth Cottn things with their heavy reliance on the bass for tempo I tried doing on it definitely didn't play to the instruments better aspects.
