I've posed 2 different banjos playing Old Time Religion.
Can you guys give me your HONEST opinion of both #1 and #2 as far as sound goes? My playing's still kinda bad but I'll get there eventually.
Thanks

I pick #2
Can you tell me the difference between the two - different banjos? miked differently? hand position?
Just curious. I am working on that same tune from Jack Hatfield's book, but it doesn't have that higher part in the middle. I wish it did, sounds good.

To my ear #2 is a considerably mellower & perhaps richer sound. #1 is rather brighter. Both were enjoyable but my ear leans toward the mellower sound of #2. Anyway, for what it's worth, that's my opinion.

I go with #2 as well, It seems to go better with this song. Both sound good though.
good job

The first was using the RK-80 and the 2nd was the Sullivan.
