Bluegrass Banjo

Bluegrass banjo refers to the five-string banjo playing style central to bluegrass music, most famously the syncopated three-finger picking technique popularized by Earl Scruggs in the 1940s with Bill Monroe's band. It emphasizes fast rolls, drone strings, and driving rhythm that define the genre's energetic sound. Players use fingerpicks and a resonator banjo to project volume in ensemble settings with fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.
