Thanks for helping us be more informed. I sure didn’t know he played plectrum. I acquired “The Harry Reser Tenor Banjo Solo Collection”. Edited by Roy Smeck. Don’t know if this is a rare book or not. It has piano accompaniment music also. Also, I’m looking forward to try the “Easy Goin” piece you had in the All Frets magazine.
Thanks for your thoughts. I agree with everything you have stated. Music is music not a plectrum or tenor banjo, a double bass tuned in 5ths or 4ths, etc. I play both tunings on bass. Each has its advantages and disadvantages but the ultimate test is what best conveys the particular music you are trying to let out of your mind through your fingers and an instrument. I’d be happy just to be able to play the notes that Harry Reser dropped on the floor by mistake, if he ever did!!!
Oh, he dropped a few; the trick is in how fast he picked them up!
