Working With Custom Made Banjos Without Professional Help

By Melissa Brooks


It is a good idea to consider learning how to play an instrument without the help of a specialist for numerous reasons. Most importantly, individuals get enough time to practice playing custom made banjos at their pace, and no one pressures them to grasp a single aspect within a given period of time. If you are considering self-learning, these are a few things that should be done.

To begin with, individuals should select an instrument type that they would prefer to play based on the songs they enjoy most. Accordingly, there are three types of instruments, namely 6-string, 5-string, and 4-string. The least common tool is six-string type, which is often used by experienced players while 4-string is most suitable for beginners since the instrument is not complex. 5-string is more common since it can be used in both traditional and contemporary music genres.

Besides, learners are required to select between open and closed-back models. Open-back has a bareback and produce relatively low pitch sound while closed or resonator versions are closed all round. The latter produce louder sounds since they are fitted with an amplifier. Open-back are recommended for beginners since they are cheap and simple to operate, but where an instrumentalist plans to play a device for long, resonators should be selected.

Once a person acquires a specific model, your tool should be tuned before playing starts. For slightly experienced individuals, this should not be hard as it involves twisting knobs to alter length and string tension. Tuning helps in setting a preferable pitch and consequently sound. Beginners will find this procedure a bit difficult hence should consult a specialized or usage guide provided by manufacturers.

Playing this tool requires individuals to sit or stand while shoulders are up and bending backwards a little. While this step may seem unimportant, improper body position does affect not only your health but also sound quality produced by your instrument. The angle between ground and instrument being played should be ninety degrees, and necks must not be gripped tightly.

Fingers also need to be placed in proper positions. To begin with, hold the device head through the pinky plus ring finger some distance away from the first string. For some beginners, it is a challenge keeping fingers in that position for long hence are advised to stick them through a double-stick adhesive.

Once your fingers are placed appropriately, you are now ready to start the actual playing, which involves picking strings and plucking them rhythmically. Individuals will have to first choose a style and ensure that their tool can effectively play whatever genre is selected. Regardless of the type of instrument, instrumentalists use their first three fingers alternatively, but experienced players can use all three structures simultaneously. Use finger picks to enhance string picking.

When you can easily pull and pluck strings, practice doing it rhythmically. Start by simple rhythms and ensure that you emphasize on timing. Remember, practice makes perfect and it also take determination to achieve better results.
