That can only be done through hundreds of hours of playing the thing.On the other hand, I've always wanted a banjo, and my fingerpicking playing style would translate nicely to that instrument, I believe.I think at my age, toward the end of my time here, I should go with the banjo since I probably ain't got time to properly break in a new acoustic.  Plus, I already have two nicely broken in acoustics.So a banjo it is.</blockquote>
