I just bought an Alabama Banjo. What is the first thing I need to know , other than all the open tunings?

I just want to embrace the culture, even though I don't believe I'm in-bred...and I probably don't have to be...-if I could just be like Steve Martin I'd be Happy

Is there a diff between a banjo and a Alabamian banjo? 🤔

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The banjo I bought is called Alabama. I could try and post a picture but I struggle with technology. It's a five string and very heavy with really nice pearl-like inlaid frets,

@atlantic59 it does look kinda bigger than a normal banjo...
