Greetings!
I've been thinking of buying a banjo, but I would like some pre-help. First off al; how do i pick? I have decided to go with bluegrass style, and i have read i should use middle finger on string 1, index on number 2 and the thumb on 3, 4 and 5. Is this true? Are there any exceptions?
And second, could someone explain to me in an easy way what fretting is and how I do it?

Jonny Hulme kindly demos the brilliant value-for-money Tonewood DB-45 banjo .. this is the banjo model he recommends to all of his beginner/intermediate bluegrass banjo students .. "you won't find any resonator banjo that sounds and plays as well for the same money in my opinion"!!

My old banjo has reached its final days and has had to be replaced, so here is my first effort on the new one. Not having played banjo for nearly a year, I am somewhat rusty, not that I was any good anyway, so there are a few (ha ha) mistakes, but after more than 60 attempts, this will have to suffice. The tunes are three Manx dance tunes the names of which are: Car Ny Ferrishyn (The Fairies' Dance); Chyndaa Yn Bwoailley (The Courting Dance); Eunyssagh Vona (Vona's Delight).
