Tips for Absolute Beginner

Howdy, folks.

I just got one of those banjo bundles from Ben’s Store. I’m 72 years old and have never played banjo. Anyone have any tips or advice for a beginner like me (other than prayer and get a Gold Pick subscription)?

What albums would be instructive for a beginning banjo player to listen to?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice or encouragement.

Ben’s beginner checklist is what I did and I enjoyed it. I think it is a great way to go.

Congrats @WaltK! Honored to have you on board!

First of all, you will receive 3 months of Gold Pick access with that banjo bundle. If you haven’t seen that email come through from Katy, look for it, or it will be sent very soon.

After that, as you’ve read, start the beginner banjo learning track and stay in touch here with any questions!
