This is an amazing video. I picked up a banjo recently, and the videos that you have made have really helped me make progress a lot quicker than I thought I would be able to. This may be the best among them. As someone who has done a fair bit of teaching in other areas, very good job boiling down as expansive a topic as playing an instrument to a concise beginner-friendly list with an actual organization structure (1 is prereq of 2 is prereq of ... to 10). Thanks for everything you've put out and I look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
Thank you for these videos. Yes it has been slow, tedious, repetitive and incredibly detailed BUT it has improved my technique immeasurably and corrected mistakes I didn't even realise I was making. I know I will be so grateful for this slow detailed breakdown further down the line. And it's nice to have a British teacher too 😁 Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Just keep at the practicing and you'll get it soon enough. And don't worry about perfection - it's more about building the right habits over time than about getting everything perfect 👍

Glad you've found it helpful! :D
Thank you for these - I’m definitely guilty of no 6, keeping my thumb on if not plucking 🙄

How important is it to wear the banjo strap when practicing ?????
Very
Thanks. It depends. Everyone is different - work out what suits you best, but a strap can be pretty helpful!
