Banjitars!

 A cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” by yours truly. This is on my standard tuning banjitar, recorded with pickup into my effects and amp, then with my iPhone.

 Here is a link to a very informative resource. If you are looking to buy a banjitar, make sure you read this first. https://riverboatmusic.com/banjos/six_string/6_string_banjos.htm

  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!  

 Keith Urban takes the time to show the licks from two of his songs on his Deering banjitar. Keith is probably responsible for popularizing the banjitar in his music today. Thanks, Keith!

 This is a really good demo of the EB-6 by Gold Tone. Solid body with a humbucking pickup. Very clean and solid sounding. Way cooler than I expected.

 This is from yours truly. This is another free Improvisation I recorded. The banjitar was the first take, followed immediately with a guitar part. Hope you like it.

 This one is interesting! Indian music played on banjitar with accompaniment by a doumbek drum and flute.

Banjitar players seem to enjoy innovating new t7nings and setup ideas. This one uses a traditional G tuning, but the bridge and nut were re-notched to have the bass strings tuned in a pair like a 12-string. Interesting idea.

 This is a great solo plectrum-style performance with snare drum accompaniment. I love how the banjitar can cover such a wide range of tones and techniques. Enjoy!

Ever get tired of snooty banjo players asking you “Why don’t you learn to play a REAL banjo?” Just slap a meme on them. Here you go—
