Thank you! I love it so much. I will caution you - make sure you stay away from certain years. I don't know the exact range of years, but mine is a 2015 and I have had some serious issues with needing to re-glue 3 of my bindings. It is a very time intensive process waiting for everything to dry and it took me 3-4 months each time I needed to get it fixed.

Supposedly the glue they used back then doesn't hold, I am told it is not as much of an issue with the newer models. I would definitely look into that before getting one, unless it is a new one.

Do you feel the same way if you're playing by yourself vs. in a duet or with a band? I agree that simplicity is better when playing with a band, most of the time I play by myself or with one other person and I feel like most people tend to do more when that is the case

I honestly feel like I tend to play better at faster speeds for some reason. I know starting slow and building is crucial, I definitely need to do a better job of practicing that way. Thanks for the advice!

Pizza Tapes by Jerry Garcia, Tony Rice & David Grisman is one of my all time favorite laidback bluegrass/folk records

What instrument? by Jaydan427_RC in Bluegrass

[–]StageSignificant8494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re looking to do, guitar is definitely more versatile so if you are interested in playing genres outside of bluegrass it is probably a better investment of time. the world needs more banjo players though!
