Will have been 25 years this December 7th.

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]i really want a banjo, cost sooooo much tho[/QUOTE]

My neighbor plays the banjo, my old neighbor plays mandolin, and they all have friends who play guitar, so I end up playing bluegrass bass with a bunch of 40+ year olds, it's fun, seeing as there are no 16 year old banjo players, I take what I can get

that is awesome, i might swap my dads steel strung acoustic in for a banjo, i'd keep the steel strung acoustic but its got a massive body and the strings are really high off the neck, hence its a really hard guitar to play,........

can u get banjo tab?

EDIT: to make post relevant to the beatles,

Did the beatles ever use a banjo in any of their songs?

I'm sure it's possible, but they aren't common online. Books on bluegrass have them, and it's sort of a play-by-ear thing

I'm not sure about a banjo in any Beatles songs.

i cant think of any either

I have a thinking questions...
If John Lennon didnt get killed by David Chapman, between the time of 1980-2001 when Harrison died do you think they would have done a reunion?
And another that I find really interesting to talk about...
Do you think John Lennon would "approve" or like Rap music (Please dont just say, rap is gay, dumb, retarded etc.)

Me personaly I think they wouldnt have a reunion they all seemed pretty well off on their own.
And I defently think John would have liked Rap not because of its sound but because of its musical diversity, and I think he would really like the lyrics and the meaning its trying to bring (Not lyrics that are womanizing or about Killing but the ones that are about the hardship of life.)

I just got 3 Beatles CDs today.. Revolver, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road.. all 3 are such great CDs

I dont think John Lennon would of liked rap, because of the influence it has on the general public (mainly youths),
and i think the Beatles would of united if john lennon and george was still alive, for some sort of charity concert (probably the tsunami) because people would of paid huge bucks to see them united and hence they would raise ****loads of money.

Lennon was very picky over his music. He's known for furiously hating jazz, which is one of the most diverse forms of music. So I don't think he would like rap for it's diversity.

to blue3
revolver, rubber soul and abbey road are three fantastic albumns, all three albumns show some sort of transformation and change in the sound of the beatles.

I know. I love the CDs, I wish I bought more Beatles CDs a long time ago

get Please please me, and Magical Mystery Tour next.

Then the white ablumn, Let it be or Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Okay.. I have Let it Be and Sgt. Peppers already.. and 1967-1970 CD

I'm listening to Abbey Road right now..

My favorite from taht is Maxwells Silver Hammer :P

I think every song except for one or two gets 5 stars off abbey road.

Did you delete your post or something?

I deleted my post saying you should get abbey road because i didn't realise you had it

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]get Please please me, and Magical Mystery Tour next.

Every other Beatles album except "Beatles For Sale">Please Please Me

Right now the only Beatles CD ihave is there greatest hist. It is the only CD of mine (well, it and "cream of clappton") that i can listen to in the car with my mum

I don't think John Lennon would've been outspoken either way about rap.

Lennon would have probably said something along the lines of "If they just 'rapped' about peace, there will be peace."

Neil Young says that rap is just like rock n' roll in spirit, and it will be no matter what name you put on it, it is still raw and edgy. I think Neil and Lennon have similar veiwpoints on alot of things, so maybe he would say something along those lines

you do realise we are posing a seireis of WWLD (what whould lennon do) questions :lol:

^123. But you have to admit, Please Please Me is worthwhile just for Twist and Shout. I absolutly love that song! :lol:

Abbey Road is amazing.

Let It Be...Naked was disappointing.

I'm getting Sgt. Pepper's maybe tomorrow.

that album is awesome.
