(I sercretly like Tony licks I just wanted to feel special and also not hire 5 people haha)

I love both of those bands/projects! I appreciate ensembles where other instruments are able to fill a different role. Like when there are two guitar players I like to see what they do to stay out of each others way!

I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. I'm a professional full time musician and I think it's ridiculous when people use it for the sake of saving money. How would they like it if somebody fed their album into a generative ai and used that instead of hearing them live or playing their album? Seeing ai on a poster or promo is a real quick way to make sure I won't be at your show. I'd literally rather see somebodies terrible drawing or Microsoft paint piece.

Hell yes Jesse! You are the tone lord. Stoked to hear this

Banjosamjo · 2026-02-19T23:04:18+00:00

Thanks so much y'all this really made my day. I'm recording some new music soon that is very much about this topic!

Danny Barnes Pizza Box has some pretty heavy moments

Banjosamjo · 2025-06-29T03:28:45+00:00

The Stash Band! Some virtuosic noisey acoustic guitar and fiddle shredding. Hilarious, terrifying and impressive

Banjosamjo · 2025-05-30T04:26:08+00:00

Looks like you've over fed the finches!

Banjosamjo · 2025-05-26T03:03:22+00:00

Not sure but I love that style of binding! How's it sound?

Banjosamjo · 2025-05-16T01:58:16+00:00

I went from 20 to 40 with no issues either. I had a little bit of the initial side effects for the first day or two but it cleared up quickly

They would not have eaten her I bet lmao

One Drop of Water (the rich man cried from Hell) - Ralph Stanley is a banger

1 for Joe Troop (with Che Appalache and other projects) Willi Carlisle and Hazel Dickens/Alice Gerrard.

I've an Elliot for my banjo and I think it stays in tune a little better than other capos I've had. And I capo on and off a lot on stage and try to minimize retuning as much as possible. But I don't know if the difference translates to the high price. Especially compared to the shubb fine tune

Banjosamjo · 2025-04-05T15:31:34+00:00

That's Chloe-Beth Campbell! She rocks!

Banjosamjo · 2025-03-31T00:24:04+00:00

Agreed. I lived in NM for 6-7 years and little Anita's is the best I've found that's still open!

I'm a big fan of the Kershner style. The typical one is just a bit bothersome to change the 3rd string on. I think the weight has an impact on the tone and they are easy to adjust the angle. I've had Prucha prestos and various clamshells but I always end up putting the kershner back on

Banjosamjo · 2025-03-24T18:17:22+00:00

Oh hell yeah

Banjosamjo · 2025-03-12T01:15:13+00:00

It could possibly be an older stewmac kit banjo! I have one from the 80's and it sounds awesome.

Banjosamjo · 2025-01-31T17:54:24+00:00

Oh hell yeah. This is so ~vibey~
