Jimi started his early musical career as banjo player for Bill Monroe..... Monroe fired him after two weeks, because Jimi wouldn't cut his hair and wear a black suit and tie.The fuzz-wah pedal was also a factor in his termination.

John Hartford (http://www.johnhartford.com/) sure was a good Banjo player. Saw him perform one night back in the seventies. He had some kind of tap shoes on his feet...and some kind of platform with an electric pick-up in it that sent the sound of the tap shoes through the amplifiers. Never heard anything like it before or since. And he tap-danced while playing that Banjo.

Earl Scruggs and Pete Seeger put out some good banjo music if you're looking...

[flamingskullballs]

banjo sounds awsome...as does the mandolin...

like an instant orgasm...

[Roadking]

oh yeah... the Mandolin is another real pretty insrument. The way they strum those things is similar to the way Carlos Santana plays hie guitar sometimes.
