Buying Time and Celebrating Small Victories

I found myself approaching a tricky part of a new song like a puzzle...and I surprised myself by solving it. Celebrate your small successes when you are learning a new instrument, I certainly do!

Thank you very much!

Even after 6 years of playing this thing, I still am slow on the F shape sometimes. If you can get that target note anchored and get your fingers down on time before they are needed, well, that "technically" works. You should practice that chord transition by itself until it is complete muscle memory. In your warmups, you should add that.

Thanks Steve. Be sure to watch the "Jimi Hendrix Taught me that video" I just put out. You play a part in it. Cheers.

I want you to always remember this. No one wants to listen to a Foggy Mountain Breakdown played with terrible timing, bad syncopation and too fast. People do want to hear She'll Be Comin Round the Mountain played perfectly. Choose a simple song and master it. Cripple creek is a good one but there are many.

You sound like my instructor. Lol. Great advice. Do me a favor and check out my recital of Cripple Creek at the beginning of this video and let me know what you think...kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5LXqamwl5KBodU

@@2000HoursofBanjo kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqTEfmd-g9B0gsUsi=4ruCZiW4HyFyFgoX ok I see you have worked on CC. The link above is one of the best versions I have heard and I think I have seen them all on YT. I hope you can add some of what you hear and see in this version I linked. He even buggers up the ending for us to let us know that no matter how good you it…it happens

@@Themheals That is an amazing rendition of Cripple Creek...something to aspire to. Thank you!
