I realize that the banjo isn't the easiest instrument to play, but having mild breadth of exposure to other genres, I decided to toss this one out.

Michael Hedges, who I was fortunate enough to see two or three times before his demise, seemed to oft times play his left and right hands as almost separate instruments, or at least as complements, many times with his fret hand working harder than his body/strumming hand, His hammerons and pulloffs were amazing. He hardly ever strummed. While such playing is 50,000 miles beyond my capabilities, I wonder if there are any banjo analogies.
