		<description><![CDATA[A capo is an essential tool for the bluegrass banjoist, but don’t automatically reach for it just because a song isn’t in the key of G.  Remember that a capo is there not to make it possible to play in a given key, but to make it possible to play in a given key in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, that is how you get to Carnegie Hall.  Practice (or &#8220;time on board&#8221; to the fretted instrument player&#8211;the fingerboard) is necessary if you&#8217;re to reach any of your goals as a musician, whether you&#8217;ve taken up banjo, guitar or any instrument.  The discipline of practice when playing an instrument should be fun rather than a chore; approaching [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The five-string banjo presents a unique problem when using a capo.  Since the fifth string doesn’t start until the fifth fret, capoing the four long strings at the most common frets (two, three, or four) leaves the fifth string unaltered.  A number of solutions have been devised over the years.  Simply re-tuning the fifth string is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my youngest son endeavored to learn the banjo last year, I honestly knew nothing about the instrument. After going to a local music shop, I decided that purchasing the various components individually would be much too costly and time consuming.  After doing some research online, I found a site that carried comprehensive banjo starter packs.

		<description><![CDATA[When Earl Scruggs introduced his three-finger banjo picking technique to Bill Monroe&#8217;s Blue Grass Boys in 1945, the new musical genre now known as bluegrass took flight. Scruggs&#8217; hard-driving approach was supremely well-suited to rendering the melodies of vocal songs, with the relatively simple melody notes embedded in showers of &#8220;filler&#8221; notes, and executed with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The banjo is conventionally associated with bluegrass musical styles, and it&#8217;s really no wonder. Along with the fiddle, acoustic guitar and fiddle, the banjo is a mainstay in that storied musical tradition. A bluegrass picking style is accomplished by using the fingers in an up-picking motion and the thumb to pick downward. But you can [...]]]></description>
