Written by Tom Arri, banjotom2. Having fun with a slide on my open back I made . After a short practice. I'm using a pen light as a slide holding it between my first and second fingers. A bit awkward at first. I think I will invest in a proper slide.

Wow, sounds sort of like Hawaiian slack-key guitar, too, only on banjo. Very cool. Make it longer!

Yeah Kidd if I hadn't picked up the banjo first I think I'd be bottle necking a national guitar. Maybe one day when I get comfortable with the 5.
