Um, keep in mind that Mason said that anyone could play like J.D. with just a few weeks of practice.

I have heard PLENTY of bluegrass singers. Bluegrass talent comes from the instruments, very rarely from the vocals.
And you think Axl Rose has a good voice
Yes, after playing banjo for a little while you could replicate his style pretty easily. Bela or Noam? It would take YEARS, if not forever.
I said earlier that he sounds weird.
I never said that I like his voice.
No. Good bluegrass vocals takes FAR more practice than good bluegrass mandolin or banjo.

Complete opinion.
I think it’s actually the other way around. You could brute force learn what Bela and Noam PLAY, but you could never hope to SOUND like Crowe.

Don’t say that until you’re a banjo or mandolin master.
I will leave it up to Gunnar to decide whether or not I could qualify as an Asian banjo master

Also, I didn’t say master necessarily…
Mason: I’ve tasted plenty of fruit
Me: so do you like bananas, mangoes, strawberries, grapes, apples, oranges, or blueberries?
Mason: I’ve never had any of those

You won’t play anything progressive, you’re NOT a master 
Would you stop?

Um, it’s a perfect analogy though.
I’m out of likes…
Mason: I can present my opinion
Me: points out flaws in his logic
Him: oh do shut up

I might agree with Mason on it being easier to play like JD than Noam or Bela. No, you could never play or sound exactly like him, but no 2 professional players sounds alike. They have a unique style. I wouldn’t want to play like one person - since so many people have made their own styles, my ideal playing would be to combine them.
There’s a reason hundreds of people play Scruggs style pretty well but only a few people play like Noam.
