Rascal Flatts
:offtopic:I like the new era's musical accent of the banjo with todays contemporary country, alt/country. However classified with today's media. The banjo, with other traditional country stringed instruments, have a new sound/accent, mixed with the more modern/contemporary, pop, top 40, rock, funk, blues, etc. Of todays modern country. The banjo seems to be using simple basic rythm chords in most of the modern country songs of today. It is something about the different (how can I say it) Simplicity, Modern Originality, Mix, Funk, etc. That the banjo brings with todays modern country bands/music. And Rascal Flatts shows one of the best examples of using the banjo so accordingly with modern country. Jason Aldean's music is another good example at using the banjo in this way, while at the same time, both bands apply the lower octive notes of a 5-string bass guitar to their music which also gives the lower grunge sound to the bottom end. Traditional country music's, stringed instruments (violin,banjo,etc). Has progressed for the better in todays country music. Which in return, has expanded country music to other genres of music, & listeners, etc. (in my opinion). Just a personal observation.
