  1. Joe! A banjo arrangement for Mozart! ASTOUNDING!

    Mozart on banjo sounds a great deal like harpsichord.

    And I love that the banjo player has a toothpick in his mouth. LOL.

  2. From YouTube:

    DESCRIPTION
    I had so much fun arranging Mozart´s masterpiece “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (also named “Serenade in G”) on something different than a usual acoustic guitar: a BANJO GUITAR.
    I like the idea of playing classical music on an instrument which is typically used for other kinds of repertoire.
    The cool, little violin bow you see in the video is called “Pickaso Guitar Bow”, and it´s designed for regular acoustic guitars.

  3. It does sound a bit like a harpsichord! I understand that if you blow a balloon up inside the soundbox of a guitar, you can make a guitar sound like a banjo...

    Glad you got a chuckle!
