Yes, I did buy a 6string banjo. Anyone who knows about banjos knows that a "true banjo" only has 4 strings, sometimes five, the fifth one you pluck with your thumb. So why does this one have 6? Its so that someone who knows how to play the guitar, can also "play the banjo". It sounds like a banjo, but you play it like a guitar!
I am looking to buy an actual banjo from a guy in Athens, because I am signed up for lessons starting in June. If anyone would like to take lessons with me, I would LOVE it! You can find cheap banjos on craigslist ALL the time! Just let me know and I can get you the info!
