banjo Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 <--- Tux plays the banjo too! This was done in The GIMP. I didn't start from totally original images, but the arrangement and editing are my work. Banjo (_)=='=~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does get me my own bench when I sit in the park. Banjo (_)=='=~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I got a banjo at home, but I don't know how to "tune" the strings. I play guitar....is it 1. string: E 2. string: A etc. etc. like a guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) No. Banjos are tuned to G, I think, although you can tune it however you want. A friend of mine, who's a guitarist, had a guy build him a 12-string banjo. Give a banjo player a week to adjust to the tuning of a guitar and he'll show up the guitarist who loaned him the guitar. :P tyme, you should have an attractive avatar, like mine. Made with the Gimp (of course). Used the font that allowed me to use the greek letter phi (my favorite). Edited that to add the little swirly at the top and bottom. A little 'cool metal' script-fu, a little texture from script-fu, a little 'erase every other row' script-fu and some layering. Added the background, which is a graph representing the number phi et voila! Edited December 1, 2004 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjo Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 The most common banjo tuning is an open G chord. DGbd with the little fifth string tuned to a g. This is the way a slide guitar is often tuned. Mandatory Avatar Content! I just thought that it would be neat if Tux played a banjo too, so I made that my avatar. I wish I were better with The GIMP, but I have very little time to use it. Banjo (_)=='=~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaschtroumpf Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I made mine with MS Paint... I know it sucks but it was areally slow day at work and that's all I can get under windows NT. I always meant to make something in photoshop, but then my wife pointed out that I'd have to make it, well, not sickly looking... and what's the fun in that?

arctic Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 nice! you do the tux to? I think the text need aligning...it's off to the left /bvc thinks about a milk_chocolate gtk/metacity nope, the tux was painted by someone else. it is a well known and beautiful version of tux i think it was 600x600 pixels). the text is not off to the left, it only looks that way due to the fat a** of tux :D and the inverted text. (if you have black on one side and white on the other, it automatically "drags" a picture to one side ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
