well banjo is tuned differently. Get a classical guitar

Re: Banjo or Classical?

i knew it was tuned differently but figured it would just make my knowledge just a little more diverse. i was thinking of buying a cheap one of each (dean banjo and cheaper yamaha classical) but was wondering if a nicer one of one or the other would be a better choice since it would most likely be easier to pick up on.

Buy the one you want.

Don't forget, you play finger style on an electric guitar too.

I own a cheapo Yamaha classical and use it for same reason your lookin to do. When I want to fingerpick something, I just take it out of the closet and use it. The advantage I find, is you can sit there all day and your left hand fingers won't get uncomfortable or hurt. I tried that with my Martin and forget it. The steel strings after a while get uncomfortable. My 2 cents

Re: Banjo or Classical?

yea, I vote for the classical guitar too.
Reasons why:
1. the way banjos sound
2. the music you typically play with banjos
3. the movie "Deliverance"

End of story.
