I am an Merle Travis fan and I have been playing tenor banjo for 42 years the normal way, with a flat pick. This looks interesting to try, so I will! Thanks for inventing it for us tenor players!

Comment : I've been playing tenor banjo now for 4 years and I've invented some interesting slip strokes...one of which is a finger style mimmicked by the plectrum. It's hard to do but once you get it down it sounds just like a five string. What I think you're doing

Comment : great information and links. I am a keyboard player of 35 years but recently fell in love with an olk tuba-phone vega. Tuned it CGcg which is quite similar to your DGdg. I must be on the right track..the open tones make for a fantastic overtone.
