- I play banjo in bluegrass jams. Fiddle is not an easy instrument to play—- being fretless, it takes a lot of practice to catch a chord perfectly. The jams I go to usually have a mix of male and female fiddlers, and they tend to skew to the older side.
I think when people have fairly mastered guitar or banjo they’ll sometimes pick up fiddle next. They can make awesome music or terrible noise, depending on the skill of the player.
