I have a question sorry, any tips for teaching yourself overall and also teaching good picking? i seen to not be able to get the pace of it right (Picking I mean)

[@The_Banjo_Buddy]

Hi Christopher! Apologies for the delay in getting back to this! Start by practicing slowly and following a slow beat (like a metronome) to keep a steady pace. Focus on alternate picking (down-up-down-up) and *gradually* increase your speed. Consistent practice and patience are key. You'll get there! 🎶
