Thanks, I only wish more people could get a grasp on what I do with a banjo. I actually invented a modification to a standard 5-string banjo that has two hum buckers mounted through the drum-head... I named it "Heavy Metal Banjo" and as far as I can tell I guess I was the first person that could figure a way to play hard distortion on the banjo, yest with almost no feedback. Since those years others have said they did it first, but for some reason some pre-date their videos etc... at least 5 to ten years I first posted the hard rock style in the 90's. For now I am happy not going that way any longer.

Thanks again!

Hey there DoctorMood....Couldn't pass this title by without a listen..interesting composition!...The banjo has attracted a disproportional amount of detractors over the years and I suspect this has more to do with it's presumed social affiliations than any sound it ever produced....It's great to see somebody injecting a new slant on an instrument that's been the backbone and sometimes virtuoso voice of many styles of music....cool stuff!and hope to hear more...cheers Planet ..Oh,and Welcome to Looperman! :)

Thanks for your kindness Planet. I have spent years in the past trying to make the freakiest sound out of the banjo, it's really the only instrument I can play on. Thanks again!
