| ____________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""] here's a tip - banjo is a motherfucker good luck. |
| __________________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 10:52am - thetruthaboutmuffdivers ""] Call up Earl Scruggs and ask for some lessons. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 10:55am - FuckIsMySignature ""] that banjo better stay away from my momma |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 10:56am - boblovesmusic ""] that rules! |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 11:09am - arilliusbm ""] Banjo is fucking hard. Get a mandolin. Or a dulcimer. Or a lute. Fuck it, let's jam. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 11:10am - FuckIsMySignature ""] well he already got it cause i guess it was a sick deal. in a related note... i found my slide whistle. if something to bad happens to anyone around me - prepare to hear it. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 11:43am - boblovesmusic ""] I have a mandolin! I need to get back to playing it so we can jam! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 11:49am - ouchdrummer ""] I've always said, a banjo, some serious tube distortion, and some fast palm-muting.... and you have some hick-inspired brutality. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:18pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] need to find a way of putting pickups on this thing. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:18pm - jeff_met_aliens ""] legit, find someone who plays to show you some stuff. I tried learning from a book and dvd, and only when my boss busted out his banjo did things actually make sense. my banjo quietly sits in the corner now... |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:29pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] while your banjo gently wheeps... |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:36pm - Sacreligion ""] Jay Kelley could probably show you guys some things on the banjo, and he lives like a stone's throw from you. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:39pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] oh no shit? right on |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:40pm - jeff_met_aliens ""] cantab on tuesdays are bluegrass night I believe, my boss goes pickin there sometimes |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2010 12:41pm - Sacreligion ""] I think Jeff from 12 Step is probably a better player than Jay, but I haven't really kept in touch with him since the whole "they decided to kick him out of the band after I joined" thing. |

I need to get back to playing it so we can jam! wait, are you any good at it? I wasn't bad, far from performance worthy. I think with practice (duh!) I could get back to my old place and then some. |
