That Berocca TV Ad With The Camp Log Rolling Lumberjacks
Love the track on this, it reminds me of The Grid's excellent Swamp Thing - this version on YouTube has an extra 30seconds or so, and includes VOCALS!
I'd like a banjo. Are they difficult to play?

i can play the banjo a bit
First off pick your style - Mountain Banjo, clawhammer style, Scruggs etc.
If you want to play "duelling banjos" style stuff Scruggs is the style you are looking for.
It's tuned differently from a guitar so takes a bit of getting used to.
Scruggs is a very "picky style" so you will need nimble fingers. It's all based around "rolls" which are basically picked chords.
It's quite hard but sounds great when done well.

Blimey! It's like whole other language
All I can add is that if I was to have a 'style' for ANYTHING. The it so would be called "Clawhammer style!!!"

Steve Martin is also an ace banjo player as well as a rather mediocre actor :)

I love this ad!
It is a cool track, seems to be just made up for the ad, which is unusual these days, esp as it's rather good!
If they release it it's going into every gay bear line-dancer's reportoire with a bang, I can tell ya that!

just looked at their facebook page, love the quotes they've got;
“The hottest dance act to come out of the logging scene” Hardwood Today
“With a sound that evokes big trunks and hard wood, if rock music was sex then this band would be Casanova” Rocky Mountain Enquirer
“Incredibly fashion-forward for a pair of back-water hillbillies” Northern Fiddler
“The sickest thing to emerge from the rocky mountains since deliverance” Deep Mountain Specialist
Guess they are going to release it
