Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Yeah I figure it will take some practice, for sure, I should probably get a thumb pick and maybe some finertip picks for it too. Im not sure how they do it really

I've seen 'em play without them, with a combination of them, and with them on all four fingers with a sideways pick on the thumb.

So, as near as I can tell, the sky's the limit.

I kinda know how one is played. Once you get the tuning sorted, and it can vary, you need to work on your fingering. Once you're fluent in the neck, you need to learn 'rolls'. Rolls are what makes the banjo a banjo - though some folks will use it strictly as a chordal instrument. Rolls are where it's at.

Google: "Banjo Rolls"

That would definitely take some practice for me to get used to with those kind of picks on my fingers. I dont really do any finger picking so it would be all pretty new.

I suspect it'll be pretty difficult to transition.
