Discuss the Banjo lesson: Gettin' Up the Neck With Blackberry Blossom!

Well i must say i have shut my brain off and have been playing this all day long. It an amazing feeling when your hands know where to go before your head tells them to. As i took a walk outside (without a banjo in hand) can you guess what was bouncing through my head. Its crazy how you can still be “practicing” without even playing. It is encouraging to know that my brain is capable of memorizing things! Great lesson:clap:

No, it’s not too much. I love that! I was just trying to keep this arrangement fairly simple.

@Severin, Nice picking! That was an awesome compilation of bloopers! The editing & special effects were fantastic! It’s all part of the process, I think everyone can relate to the faces, the noises, the sometimes frustration, and the - “Ok, one more time…” that this video portrays so very well :grin::rofl::woozy_face::crazy_face::+1:t2::blush: Thank you for posting, definitely enjoyed that!

Well on your way!
If I might make one suggestion…slow it back down some and concentrate on finishing/playing all the notes your rolls.
