(I'm not a fan of creating new threads ... it makes me feel as if I'm somehow disturbing the peace, but I didn't know where else to post this.)
Basically, I've decided that I need to stop wasting my teen life away and I want to learn to play the banjo and I don't know anyone who plays the banjo except maybe someone my friend knows through his Irish band who is no longer in the band so I don't really know him at all.
So, I was wondering if any of you forum-goers played the banjo and if you could give me some sort of guide as to what I should be looking for in purchasing one and getting books to begin learning.
I figured this was the best place I knew to ask because this is probably the largest group of good music/art - inclined people I know of.
