Working on a Few Pieces
Working through the Wiedt book and looking at videos that have been posted by members here has given me a push to try a few other pieces and I've got three in the works:
- Kaloola--memorized but still working on playing it cleanly and consistently
- Sunflower Dance--memorized, but I believe I need to tweak some of the right-hand choices to make it flow better and feel more comfortable
- Pink Lemonade--still reading…

Steve Harrison posted a discussionPopularity (1906)...George M. Cohan
This is a good composition from the pen of the 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' and is taken from one of his musicals of the same name. It's a good example of his musical versatility. The piano score was in C, I've arranged it in F as it better fits the banjo.…See More
thereallyniceman replied to Rémi's discussion Ziter Banjo-Banjo guitar ???"Thanks Remi, Dave and Jody,
I am not 100% familiar with the Zither Banjo, despite having owned one, eh Jody? I was far too heavy handed to play one.
I agree that Remi needs a guitar banjo, but I have no objection to ragtime, and particularly Morley,…"
Rémi replied to Rémi's discussion Ziter Banjo-Banjo guitar ???"Thank you very much to all you 3 for your unique and useful explanations.
So it's sur that it's a banjo-guitar that I look for. But I hope it's not too much a "fake banjo" in your eyes of pur classic fingerstyle…"
Jody Stecher replied to Rémi's discussion Ziter Banjo-Banjo guitar ???"Dave, I concur that the bottom right tuner is used whenever possible. It just wouldn't feel right to omit it and send the first string elsewhere. As for which tuner is used for the third string I'd say "it depends",…"
David Wade commented on David Wade's event 'Midland Banjo Fest'"Excellent Rally this year with some superb playing - great to see David Cotton there. Sadly Sully couldn't make it because of the weather but brilliant to see Phil Alexander with John Alvey Turner's stall with some excellent 4 and 5 sting…"
David Wade replied to Rémi's discussion Ziter Banjo-Banjo guitar ???"Good explanation Ian, except generally it is the top tuner on the right which is omitted on the bottom one.
I have a number of zither-banjos in full working order around £250 mark - available direct from me or at Rallies.
However, I think our…"
thereallyniceman replied to Rémi's discussion Ziter Banjo-Banjo guitar ???"Hi Remi,
The Zither Banjo has only 5 strings, just like a normal banjo, and is tuned the same way, gCGBD. If you look at the peg head on a zither banjo you will see 6 "guitar type" tuning pegs BUT only 5 are used !!
The octave, or…"

Hi everybody,I hope you're fine. As im a huge fan of ragtime/cakewalk/banjo music, trying to play some tunes on guitar sol, I want to ask a question. This is one of my dream to possess a banjo allowing me to play my guitar transcriptions on it.…See More

Trapdoor2 replied to thereallyniceman's discussion Tony Trischka's excellent video on "Classic Style Banjo"""Sunflower Dance", as I heard it, is a non-PC euphemism for cotton pickers.
