Hi All. Have only been playing five string banjo for four months so still very raw. I have a new deering goodtime and so far doing ok with the Jack Hatfield
first lessons. the first tuner i had was really rubbish, i did however managed to tune by ear, well it did take me about 3 days, once tuned the deering holds well and i can manage to fine tune along the way. However when it comes to changing strings this i find an uphill struggle, so looking on the internet everyone seems to be going for the snark sn-2, so i got one today, whoops again still can't seem to grasp it, i'm hitting the green needle every time with each string and still the banjo is way off, not even close, where am i going wrong? the banjo is in fine condition it was brand new everything is as it should be, are the F C E and so on for guitar settings? hope you can help with any ideas. thanks Trevor.
