Join in on a beginner Cabin Camp session with banjo maestro Alan Munde! Alan will teach us 3 exercises to get our fingers under control, then takes a Q&A from the campers!
@BanjoBen Just an FYI, the videos and tags/links are backwards in this one. The link “controlling your fingers” pulls up the Q&A video, and “Q&A” pulls up the lesson.
Looks like a great exercise to help build dexterity and speed. I’ll be adding this to my practice routine.
YAY !!!
So glad to see this 
Missed some of his teaching at the first banjo-only cabin camp (which I highly recommend)…plus I’ve slept since then 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Bindmogglingly good.
Hi @xmark Mark If your interested in exploring finger stretching and dexterity Alan has a DVD covering this topic in some detail. I can say with some measure of experience it truly is a WORKOUT. Gave me the confidence to talk to my pinky and got it to move. I thought what the heck if it works for Alan it bound to work for me.

@Archie, I appreciate the extra info. I’ve got the confidence to talk to my pinky as it is. Trouble is, my pinky either talks back (is cheeky), or ignores me altogether! 
I can only imagine what other forms of self-inflected torture Alan Munde has devised in that DVD.
Seriously, this lesson is really a workout for me. Exercises of this nature really make sense for improving coordination and dexterity when you think about it. Thanks!
Hi @xmark at least your pinky talks back on occasion mine is like a teenager on a strop.
As well as the stretch exercises there are some brain teasers. Just to help you focus the mind.
OK, as a Gold Pick member, and a Beginner who may never get the chance to attend a Cabin Camp, this is absolutely priceless. This is an opportunity to learn not just a song, but a fundamental that will help me play a hundred songs down the road.
Thank you Ben!
And thank you Alan Munde!!
This is great! I was just talking about my fingers not doing what I wanted, and my weak little pinky! Thank you Ben and Alan!
I’m “brand new” to learning to play the banjo, and just became a Gold Pick member. I’m really enjoying this new learning endeavor, and the instructional videos are greatly appreciated! Oh my gosh, the level of explanatory detail is exceptional. Wonderful teachers, who truly are passionate about teaching! Thank you, so much!
