But despite it's reputation, the guitar-banjo is a serious instrument on its own and can be used very effectively. It was used a lot by pre-war jazz banjoists and many of the classical jass recordings from that time was actually done with a guitar-banjo, not with a tenor as is usually assumed.
There's an interesting page comparing the five- and sixstringed banjos at the Folk of the wood site.
Blues-influenced guitar-banjoists include:
 | Cyr, Johnny St. |
| Mahal, Taj |
