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

@vetguy1991 of course I know Lester and Earl I've loved Bluegrass for decades, but I've never played banjo. Just applying guitar type chords in a four string format, I am reaching a happy state and it comes with a book on banjo chords, so I will will get there
