Hi David, I`m primarily interested in learning to accompany myself on the banjo playing bluegrass, oldtime, swing, folk etc. Is this a good place for me to start? Do you have any specific lessons on banjo accompaniment or could you advise at all? I`m new to harmonica and fairly new to banjo. Thanks, Pete

Hello Pete. I'm sorry...

Hello Pete. I'm sorry... though cool, there's no history of blues harmonica players and banjos in the tradition. I recommend you use the site to learn harmonica technique and then find your own voice with the instrument. You may want to ask Glenn Weiser, he may be able to direct you better http://www.celticguitarmusic.com/harppage.htm
