    • @ShaneSpeal
      @ShaneSpeal  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Learning how to accompanying somebody simply takes time. Go to an open mic once a week and sit in with folks. Fumble until you figure it out. I developed the skill of jamming with others after running an open mic over the course of 3 years.

    • @johanneswerner1140
      @johanneswerner1140 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ha, if I knew! I mostly built wooden instruments (medieval-ish fiddles).
      Springs will get you sort of a reverb, plate will likely get you the metallic banjo like sound. (from my understanding and lots of TH-cam bingeing, and some reading). My first three string guitar like instrument is a tin can banjo. It's still in the basement, not yet stringed.

    • @ShaneSpeal
      @ShaneSpeal  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. For decades, I used a 3/4" Craftsman socket. Only recently have I changed over to the King Slide: shanespeal.bigcartel.com/product/shane-speal-king-slide-the-ultimate-steel-stubby
