This one is from yours truly. I sat down and recorded one part completely off-the-cuff. After the take, I switched to a different instrument and went for a second, contrasting part. One banjitar is a closed-back model in standard tuning, the other is an open-back model in Nashville tuning. Enjoy!

Vega Banjitar: Nice!
Here is a nice demo of a Vega banjitar, played plectrum-style. One of the nice things about the 6-string banjo is that it is very adaptable. You can play it fingerstyle for folk music, but you an also strum it like a tenor banjo. The Vega shown here is an open-back model, which is a little bit softer in tone than one with a resonator on the back.

Amazing! Mozart on Banjitar
This would sound amazing on any stringed instrument, but this is stunning on the banjitar! It really makes use of the unique qualities of the instrument.

A cover of the classic “Across the Great Divide” by Kate Wolf. The banjitar is in Nashville tuning with a capo on the 4th fret. Enjoy!

This is a useful lesson from Brad Davis. I love the sound of his Deering banjitar! Maybe someday Deering will want to sponsor me or want me...
