But many other banjoists played banjo in the guitar banjo style besides the polite middle class figures that the ABF seeks to emulate. It is usually called guitar banjo style, because it basically applied the methods of mid 19th century popular music guitar to the five string banjo, or else Parlor banjo, because the classic movement as represented by the ABF follows the rituals of the Parlor banjo movement essentially created by banjo manufacturers and teachers to create an upscale audience for their products, where it became polite elite behavior to learn certain tunes and perform them on the banjo in a middle class palror Karren Linn's Barbaric Twang is pretty good about this. Even in the SS Stewart material, or in the publications of banjo clubs in this style, it is impossible to find the term "classic" ever used. I do a lot of banjo history research including about this style of banjo playing in the late 19th century when it was most popular.
The classic name for the banjo style is a recent development since the 1970s or e3ven 80s. Hi are you a member of the American Banjo Fraternity as am I.
