Banjo - high up or low down?

Jesuszilla	Date: September 5, 2004 @ 11:33 AM I don't know whether to play the banjo really high up so it's near my chin or have it down near my knees like the band Banjo 182.

kingo	Date: September 5, 2004 @ 8:52 PM You can use a tack to hang it.
Dizeazed	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 4:18 AM you can always stick to playin' the guitar or drums
kingo	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 9:57 AM But how do you play the banjo sound on a guitars? This is madness. Pure crazy gibberish madness. I'm diving into the shallow end RIGHT NOW.

Jesuszilla	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 5:42 PM Judging from banjo solo album sales, having the banjo low down can increase sales by a 1,000 percent. So that's from 0 albums sold to, hmm, what was it again.
boots2004	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 2:33 AM tune the banjo strings to the bottom 4 strings of the guitar then you can have the banjo sound while playing guitar chords
kingo	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 11:25 AM Yeah but then it's still got that weird string that gets in the way. At least on a 5 string banjo, or 4 1/2 string, or whatever they're called.
fanch-t	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 1:20 PM We are often clobbered by that extra string.
boots2004	Date: September 10, 2004 @ 2:02 AM dont use it hehehe
Dizeazed	Date: September 10, 2004 @ 7:49 PM Why is this forum even here?
kingo	Date: September 10, 2004 @ 10:44 PM It's here so we can talk about banjos. Problem is, nobody seems to know about Banjos. That's the problem. See.
spiralmux	Date: September 11, 2004 @ 6:22 AM Surely someone must know something? Tell me something about a banjo.
BedroomSessions	Date: September 11, 2004 @ 7:01 AM im so good at banjo i play it behind my head. sometimes with my tongue. they call me banjo hendrix
Jesuszilla	Date: September 12, 2004 @ 1:21 PM I learnt to play the banjo so I could get chicks.
BedroomSessions	Date: September 12, 2004 @ 5:47 PM i would get a banjo just to learn the deliverance song
fanch-t	Date: September 12, 2004 @ 8:15 PM dualing banjo's.
johnnygnote	Date: September 12, 2004 @ 8:28 PM Most of my friends who play Banjo (we're talking killer players) keep it about waist to chest high, just about where it would be if you were sitting down on a stool
SirDanielTri...	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 2:45 PM I do not like the banjo tones.
houseofdemons	Date: September 16, 2004 @ 2:48 AM check out our website guys http://hod.antimazone.net/ , nice metting you all and this is our first time here ....anywayz see u around. demon HoD
Jesuszilla	Date: September 22, 2004 @ 7:43 PM I have a flying V shaped banjo and a distortion pedal for my nu-banjo band. It's got to be funky. Cowabunga.
gstring	Date: October 1, 2004 @ 4:44 PM Play it wherever feels the most comfortable. It all depends on how long your arms are. It's really no different than playing guitar actually. And to SirDaniel...a bad sounding banjo sounds as bad as a good sound accordian. :: Definition of perfect pitch, when you throw your banjo in the dumpster and it hits an accordian ::
