My interest in learning in the banjo began when I noticed all my favorite wilco/ uncle tupelo tracks had a healthy dose of the Banjo in them - then I began to hear it everwhere.
Learning three finger picking on a lovely old (1930ish) May Bell and clawhammer on my new custom 12" Open back with scoop.
