4 string cigarbox banjo

Here's a video of some sloppy playing on the 4-string cigarbox banjo. It's ugly but I like it, sounds pretty alright as well. My playing in this video is a letdown though, but it's also pretty late so I'll use that as an excuse ;) I apologise for the dark video, but I got a spotlight that insists only to light up the center of the room.

Comment by Christoffer Hoffmann on May 27, 2017 at 2:12am: Thanks a lot for the comments. I feel like sound by far outweighs the negative aspects of how ugly it is! Haha
