So let's say I'm pretty good at fingerstyle guitar. Not amazing, but can pretty quickly pick up new patterns, sound good, etc.

How difficult would it be to pick up banjo for some general stuff? Fairly easy transition for the occasional player? Can you go without fingerpicks, or are they a must?

Cool thread, by the way :)

After I really got finger picking down on my gutiar I went back to my Banjo that was collecting dust and really started getting into it. The transition was fairly easy. I learned a few basic chords and started plucking away all my favorite songs deep south style. Very fun.
