Hello my dear banjo-players from all around the world!
I got my very own banjo yesterday, a (lovely) Deering Goodtime!
The biggest problem I have, is that I started to touch it, and changed tuning and such, just to get the feel of it. I have the book "Clawhammer Banjo for the complete IGNORAMUS" by Wayne Erbsen and he wants you to play in double C tuning. I could NOT get in the right tuning at all, and later tried to change back to standard G tuning using my ear/electronic tuner. Now my first string doesn't want to go back to D, and its driving me nuts. Am I alone with this problem?
And yes..I am driving my girlfriend nuts with bum-ditty!
Thanks from Sweden.
Here's a picture of the beauty! (and yes!, its a lefty!)
