It’s weird, but I guess I’ve reached the point where I can slow down with purpose & enjoy the banjo. Up till now, all I wanted to do was play it fast (or at least “half-fast”)
but lately I’ve actually enjoy playing slow & with deliberate purpose.
She is wonderful & this is spot-on right on target!
Thanks for a great special lesson, Ben!

This was a GREAT lesson! Fundamentals that, I know, will make my playing better. I’m much more “present” now with my pull-offs and noticing a big improvement already. Thanks @BanjoBen and @kristin for this!

Couldn’t agree more ! I think I’ll start every practice session with those fundamentals from now on. I found it amazing that the 2nd part of Cripple Creek is all you need to polish up the basic LH techniques. Very good lesson, I enjoyed it very much. And wow, Kristin Benson is really an amazing teacher !

Wow Kristin…I can’t thank you enough for this incredible lesson. Your style of teaching is so easy to follow. You are a natural. You have the ability to break things down in simple terms so that a beginner banjo player is able to grasp the concepts. I am so excited and looking forward to putting all of these techniques to practice. Thank you so much!
