- Setbacks suck in general, but I am trying to see the positive side of my most recent one. Tune in to see what caused the setback, and why I think it's a good thing.

Don''t worry about "doing it again" because you will be playing these songs forever. Think about it as that you are getting better each time you play these songs. You will never stop learning something new about your playing or these songs. If you are having fun, that is all that is important. Not setbacks, they are improvements. Your foggy mountain breakdown is sounding better each time I hear you play it. This time with a power and tone improvement :)
"Not setbacks, they are improvements". Funny you say that. My instructor just saw this video and texted me to think of it more as "fine tuning" rather than learning the song all over. Ultimately, you are both right, it's all part of the process. Still frustrating, though ;)
Yes!! Such a great discovery - and one you'll always remember now! You're one step closer to mastering that banjo now. I love the point you made about learning an instrument: it's not only about learning new songs, but learning how to utilize the instrument the way it was intended to be used. Such a powerful comment and one I've never thought about.
I love your organizational skills with the tabs, haha! I'm generally a very organized person, but my tab sheets are so wrinkled, written on, and coffee-stained at this point... (At least they are all together on a nice stack, facing the correct way, lol).
How amazing that one of your staff members used to play bluegrass fiddle, that's sweet and you two gotta jam! Fingers crossed that she pulls through for the jam session :)
You sound like my instructor. lol. He told me to prioritize this over speed, timing, and song memorization. He said getting this down will really make me stand out above other players in the long run. He hasn't been wrong yet :)
Hello Mark, i have been keeping notes also for practice sessions of the things that i need to focus on, practice with a purpose makes sense, our time is valuable and continue keeping the positive attitude!
Thanks! Sounds like we are both on the right track. We just need to keep at it.
