    The banjo is a stringed instrument with a thin membrane stretched over a frame or cavity to form a resonator. The membrane is typically circular, and usually made of plastic, or occasionally animal skin. Early forms of the instrument were fashioned by Black Americans in the United States. The banjo is frequently associated with folk and country music, and has also been used in some rock, pop and Hip-Hop, also created by the Black American community. Several rock bands, such as the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, and The Allman Brothers, have used the five-string banjo in some of their songs. Historically, the banjo occupied a central place in Black American traditional music and the folk culture of rural whites before entering the mainstream via the minstrel shows of the 19th century. Along with the fiddle, the banjo is a mainstay of American styles of music, such as Bluegrass and old-time music. It is also very frequently used in traditional ("trad") jazz. Banjo is also a common instrument for Caribbean genres like Biguine , Calypso and Mento.

    I'm having a real hard time anchoring my finger to the banjo head while playing. For some reason my fingers want to bend while I'm playing. Any suggestions?

    • @BanjoAddict
      @BanjoAddict  5 месяцев назад

      It takes a while for the ring finger to stop following the middle … just keep resetting it will eventually get better

      @@melissamessmer6544 spend 10 mins a practice session doing forward rolls with pinches in between them. do it slowly and methodically. you are not going for speed or accuracy here. You are simply trying to retrain your finger muscle memory. after a week or 2 you should notice a big difference.

    Been Playing Banjo since August, discovered you 'round that time and i haven't watched too many of your videos, but the ones I have watched have been helpful.
    Since you're rather well versed in the way of banjo, was hoping I'd be able to ask you for assistance on a song I haven't been able ti find anything about on the internet, the name of said song being Tarantula juice.
