Banjo guitar or banjitar or ganjo (Australia) is a six-string banjo tuned in the standard tuning of a six-string guitar (E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4) from lowest to highest strings. The six-string banjo was introduced in the late 19th century.

Nicely done Grah1, had me tapping my foot along. Would also love to hear you play another song on this where you do some picking in amongst the strumming to hear how it sounds.

Also, you friend Mike was good at performing, good entertainer.

I've since replaced the low E with a regular D string and tuned it up to E gives a better banjo sound .

That's useful information in case I ever buy one.

Just picked up a second hand Banjitar the other day one or two minor issues as it had been messed around by some one who had no idea how to set the thing up.The tail piece had been bent and fitted wrong also it had been fitted with heavy gauge acoustic guitar strings .All pretty easy fixes.I also fitted some acoustic damping foam inside the head to make it play at a sensible volume as it was very loud .It now sounds much better and plays well .I may put a thinner low E on to give a better banjo sound but for now I'm happy.
