i've had a banjo for a few years but i rarely pick it up. bought a book when i got it but never progressed past the rolls.

i can play a guitar, badly, so i'm ok with playing/learning chords and basic techniques like hammer ons etc.

can anyone recommend any youtube clipped banjo tunes that will inspire me to have a go again, either fingerpicking based or a bit of strumming?

See if you can throw it into a skip without it making a sound.

Perfect Pitch, I believe they call that.

This was the only tune I was ever inspired to learn on the banjo.

Bit basic, but you've got to start somewhere.

Brilliant version of a very moving song.

There's another couple of songs on the Pogues' first couple of albums that might fit the bill, too.
