Who plays acoustic guitar?

[Burnsey]

sounds great mate. I wish my fingers would cooperate like that. Arthritis sucks.

Same here PP, the mind is willing but the hands are not up to the task. Still, I occasionally pull out an old Gibson es I have and give it a try.
Nice playing Zimobog

[whalen]

I'd love to try a sitar

OK, assume the position first!

[Zimobog]

I never tried a traditional sitar (or Whalen's version for that matter). My dad got to play one when he went to Calcutta. Banjo an sitar both have similar resonators (at least the original african gourd banjo).

I bought me a huge gourd to make a gourd banjo from but I havent started work on yet.

Hey, PP, if your into Jerry and the Dead at all, check out Jerry and David's fantastic rendition of another old time classic:

[Premium Parrots]

so who is not into Jerry G.? Thanks for posting that mate.

[Brugs]

Started playing classical guitar when I was around seven, took lessons for the next seven years. Still play frequently. I have a Manuel Rodriguez e Hijos Model A, love it dearly. It's been with me the past decade. Love renaissance music in particular. Also fledgling and amateur Banjo player.

Nice, Brugs! If you can finger pick classical I bet you could take right off on banjo.
