There's definitely a better tone if I'm doing rolls with the banjo picks, but I find them to be really clumsy and often screw up. As for the irritation, my fingers are definitely sore after about 4 hours of practice, but I think that's more to do with the fact that I haven't played guitar for that long in years. I think I might go see if I can find a metal guitar pick and play around with that until I learn how to use the actual banjo picks.
As for the tuning, yes I'm using open G tuning for now. |

Decided to return my banjo and use the proceeds from selling my Google Nexus 7 tablet and buy this
Mitchell MBJ200 Delux-5 String Banjo It has a really nice neck and fretboard when compared to my Epiphone 100-MB and this one also comes with a resonator which gives me a much nicer sound. Last night it almost sounded like I was running it through some kind of modulator effect, like a flanger or something. |
