I was introduce to you by a friend of mine about 2 years ago. At the time I was big into modest mouse and pickin on modest mouse blew me away. I liked bluegrass a little at the time but after I heard you guys it opened my eyes.
Anyway, Im not quite a musician but I can play. Ive played guitar for 13 years. I also play drums and any percussion, Ive got a little cajon Im rockin right now and love I love it. BUT I just bought a banjo and Ive been learning some easier tunes. Tried learning fire on the mountain, got the first lick down but thats it. Im not using finger picks. Ive grown custom to growing my nails playing flamenco. Is this hurting my finger picking speed somehow on the banjo? Or is it just playing those riffs over and over till youre up to speed? maybe a metronome? One last thing, if you could tell me what tuning differnt city is in or if its just capo on 3. (banjo of course) That would be real cool. If you want you can just send me the music sheets for fire on the mountain and different city..... HA ha...ha...
