Banjo....reminds me of a movie

Squeal like a piggy.

If you learn to play banjo... you should try to play some guitar song on it for fun. Just to see if it sounds alright, or like crap. I suggest playing Freebird.

or nymphetamine by cradle of filth....

Why that song? Personally, after my friend started to love Black Metal, I started to hate most of it, mainly the majority of stuff he listens to now.

Well, try Hangar 18 or Thunderhorse.

guitar would work fantastically on it...i got a six string...so all the chords and stuff is the same which is great, so far on my uncle playing it though ive heard some great guitar songs that transfered over very well...and he even wants one himself now.

the movie Gnome Smasher was thinking of is Deliverance, the famous song of that being Dueling Banjos...also the banjo kid in the movie couldnt actually play so there was another kid hiding behind him playing
