Hi Scott
I’ve only been playing 5 string banjo for around 4 months and I also came from years off playing keyboards and guitar both to an average level TBH and what i have found is that having that experience and musical knowhow will give you a good foundation in timing and dexterity that most total beginners will take a lot longer to grasp
My advice would be to take things slowly and don’t jump to the next lesson without fully understanding the great concepts that Ben lays down especially the Rolls Lessons as they are the building blocks to develop your playing
You will get hooked as we all are and it’s a great instrument to learn and this community will help you along the way like they are with me
Rome… like learning any instrument wasn’t built in a day so set yourself goals like i have and take things slowly or you will get frustrated wanting to play faster but speed comes with practice…
Good luck with your journey and remember that we are all here to help and one of the best ways is to get some Videos uploaded so we can see your ability/technique and advice better
