Playing A Stringed Musical Instrument
Nothing is as beautiful as the sound of a nicely played violin. I find that this is the most pleasing string musical instrument for my tastes. The notes appear to cry and nearly talk to me when a violinist plays a beautiful piece. I can't help thinking about the classic comedy Young Frankenstein whenever I hear this actual stringed musical instrument.
What makes these instruments so amazing is that every one is a one off.
The guitar appeals to the yonger musicians. Many of us love the sound of the electric guitar because there is such power and emotion behind the notes. A really good guitarist is one of the most exciting individuals you would hope to ever meet. This stringed musical instrument is certain to be around for a considerable time to come.
The guitar seemed to reverberate a spell on the fans that can still be heard today.
Ironically, my favorite Stevie Ray Vaughn song is Life by the Drop. There is something haunting about the tune and something moving about the words.
The acoustic guitar produces a totally different sound than its electrical counterpart. However , I find that the acoustic song is the most appealing although I could be a giant fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn's mastery of the electrical guitar.
A banjo can express an off-the-cuff easy going feel although Joe Brown's heart rending version of "I'll see you in my dreams" at the memorial concert for George Harrison still brings tears to my eyes. Naturally, there is always the heavy, deep sound of the bass too.
I love all of these great producers of tunes but none can touch the endearing violin. The violin remains my favourite stringed instrument. I only wish that I had a chance to hear Stevie Ray Vaughn play the violin. I know that he'd have done a magnificent job.

A good book on learning how to play a banjo?
I own a 5-string banjo and am interested in any style of play. I have a little bit of experience with a 4 string tenor, but it's been quite a while since I've played it. I need something to help me with the basics (chords, tuning, etc.) If I could get a link to where I can order an instructional, that would be very helpful, thanks!
Pete Seeger wrote the classic book on playing the five string banjo. You should be able to get it online or at a music store.
