Notes
Give “Serpentine” a listen and listen to the versatility of the tenor banjo. Listen to how it can be used beyond its traditional roles. It’s not just for traditional jazz and Irish music. Try to imagine musical situations where you could use a tenor banjo to give any type of music a new and different color and texture. Too often we get stuck in our idea of what an instrument or playing style can be used for. Whatever instrument you have, try to imagine it in a style that it may not have been used much for. Continue to push your ideas and stereotypes of what can be done. It doesn’t have to be “weird” and radical, but sometimes just a small shift in your idea one way or another can help develop something that feels natural but new.
An exciting part about the banjo and especially the tenor banjo is that there is still so much ground to cover! The guitar has been utilized in so many ways, but the banjo… there is still a huge open playing field to develop!
