This is the first instrument I ever built. I wanted to make a gourd banjo but lacking a gourd i built this banjo from a one-gallon lacquer thinner can. I call it my fretless, electric, lacquer thinner can, rat rod banjo, but not necessarily in that order. I hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks Slowpaw! Yep - just gotta dust ourselves off and keep going. There's no other way to learn to play live besides playing live.

It sounds good, and your picking is really good. Listened to it twice in a row.
