Re: How to play credible banjo section :-)

I'm a guitar player too (and drums: to be fourty has some privileges if you like music :) ), and googling on the Net I've seen the guitar standard last five string tuning for Banjo, but I think that this kind of tuning make no possible (or at least more difficult) some tricks. Your idea of loading a...

Re: How to play credible banjo section :-)

Qharley, I'm absolutely agree with you :) But you must consider that in Italy a good banjo player (a bad too) is really hard to find :) And I need this sound only for a song or two, not more, and I prefer to understand how to do this on a keyboard :-) It's for my personal skill, you know ;) Anyway, ...

Re: Hello from North Carolina

Hi southpaw, every time I listen my Bass player (Mauro) I'm feel confused: HOW he can extract so much sound from just four (or five or six or eight) strings? :D Then I look at my pedals and keyboards and computer and I'm a little envious.

I had some problem with it, cause normally I use two connected staff (like piano) and sometimes the impagination makes some graphic errors. I didn't know that MuseScore runs in Windows environment! I'll try! :) Of cou...

Re: Hi from Torino (Italy)

I really don't think I understood all that, but welcome to the forum! There are a lot of people on this forum who also use keyboards and effects, so I'm sure you will feel right at home here.

Re: Hi from Torino (Italy)

Hi Etienne, I think that my English is not enough for explain clearly what I want to communicate, I'm sorry :) Hi Kaimerra, one of my target is to use some sampling software, but I think that a little EeePc is absolutely a underconfigured machine for this, don't you think? By now my target is to use...
