I'm trying to learn fingerstyle percussive acoustic. I'm thinkin since I haven't played guitar before this, it'll come more easily than it would for someone set in their ways.

Gotta learn basic acoustic first though... thank god for knowing too many goddamn musicians.

I started as a drummer, then moved up to a bassist, then moved up to the guitar.

i can also play a little bit of Piano which is my fav instrument.

Guitar, keys, and mandolin. Been picking up some bass, lately, too. Also just started playing around with a microkorg synth.

Alright so almost 5 years later I can add banjo to the list, as well as bass guitar and mandolin. I did get a ukulele but quickly ran out of things to do with it so I sold it and really haven't felt bad about that decision. Really been enjoying the banjo and would go so far as to call myself a banjo player first, and then everything else.

One problem I have had with taking on so many instruments is divvying up practice time accordingly. There are some weeks where I maybe only play my bass or guitar once.

I've been checking out a few banjos myself, now that I have a running car again it's probably gonna be my next $100+ purchase. Torn on 5 or 6 string, as someone who doesn't play guitar I guess either or would be equally challenging?

I've been playing both guitar and drums quite a bit lately. When I have a full kit available (I usually just play the snare as that's what I own), it's a lot of fun. I also play any non brass instrument I can get my hands on. I can usually find a good style to play in, not to mention it's fun as **** when I'm relearning a new instrument.

A 6 string banjo is just a guitar with a banjo body. The low E string sounds cool, but everything else sounds more or less the same. I don't really have that high of an opinion on them, mostly because the large stores always seem to carry two or three for every one 5-string banjo.

Seeing as how you don't play guitar I'd say get a 5-string and the Hal Leonard Banjo Method Book 1. Most Guitar Centers will carry the Epiphone MB-100 banjo which is an open back, so it's not quite as loud and it has a far more mellow tone, but it sits on your lap comfortably and is incredibly light.That's pretty much the entry tier in terms of cost and is generally pretty good. Make sure you get someone at the store to set up the bridge for you and get it in tune. If you can get National thumb picks, get them. I use a medium and they fit just fine and aren't as long as the Dunlop brand ones.
