Hi Sarah, welcome!
The best place to start is here:

I came in to banjo with other instrument experience, but I still did all the beginner track items and it made it real easy to know what to do next.
Have fun!

Hi @mspud68 Sarah welcome to @BanjoBen’s forum I see @Mike_R Mike beat me to the draw. You have made a great choice signing up for a Gold Pick Membership. Best advice I can offer is work through the beginners section at your own pace, don’t let the lessons frustrate you if you have a query just yell and we will do our best to guide you. Everyone here is friendly and wants you to succeed.

Welcome. You definitely found the right place to start. Take your time and enjoy the journey. Before you know it, you will be crankin out some Foggy Mountain Breakdown at break neck speed😊

Welcome to the board, Sarah! I second Mike’s recommendation. In addition, I’d encourage you to post videos of your playing when you have any questions. I know that can feel intimidating sometimes, but it serves 2 purposes. 1 - it helps us help you. We can see if there are mechanical issues with either hand or something as simple as posture. 2 - It will serve as a reminder to you in the future so you can see how far you’ve come.

Looking forward to seeing your journey.
