Banjo Method
Guitar/Banjo/Sitar….Learning Strategy?
I would very much like to learn (in the long run) the guitar, the banjo, and the sitar. I am greatly interested in all three for different reasons…the guitar seems to be the “standard” with a good deal of potential, the banjo possibly the most fun and intriguing, and the sitar (while not my number one priority) fascinates me.
The problem is, I have (effectively) no practical experience with musical instruments. So, my question: how should I best go about learning these things? Should I take them one at a time (which is best to start/end with?) or learn them all together?
I intend on finding a teacher(s). I realize there are various methods, for example with the banjo, but I would like to learn as much as I can eventually and would like to be more proficient than a casual player. I feel that I can be patient with whatever strategy is best.
So, any advice? Thanks.
If you learn guitar you can eventually learn finger picking style, which is used in banjo (but a little different) and would be able to be applied there. Then take up sitar because Indian music uses a different musical scale that has more notes than western music. It would be easier to start with the theory of western music and add on later. So I would say start with guitar then work your way into banjo and sitar.
