    I was playing with a Bluegrass band back in the 2000s and we were on a local morning TV show promoting a Bluegrass festival. We had gone to a commercial break just before the end and our banjo player handed the banjo to the TV girl. He told her "pluck this string, this string and that string." She did and he said "do it again." She did. He said "do it again but faster." She did and by the time we came back from the commercial break she was playing a little banjo roll. She kept playing as she wrapped up and we were out. You never saw such a big smile in your life. She just kept saying "I played the banjo! I played the banjo!"

    One year later.... I'm just now watching your video and want to commend you on the clarity and accuracy after just one month! Well done! I recall the first days of my banjo journey (pre CZcams and internet) learning from books and those first songs that sound like banjo pickin' is what keeps you at it. I hope you are still picking and will check your videos to see progress. Happy pickin', keep up the good work. The speed and complexity will come with time but it's evident you've started off focusing on clarity and timing. That's clearly cripple creek and sounded like it!

    Strong work Miss Elizabeth! I been playing for 50 years or so and I believe you got it. Stay with it smooth it out a little and you will be good to go. Get up with as many folks that will play a tune with you as you can find somebody whose playing speaks to you and learn some of their licks and phrasing. Eventually you will develop your own style. Good luck and keep on pickin

      @@Bobcagon Hello! Thank you! I've been practicing a LOT lately just because I'm Preforming in public for the first time Saturday. But I'd say if you're a beginner, 20 to 30 minutes a day maybe 5 to 6 days a week would be great! As you progress, you can move it up to 40 minutes of practice a day! Thank you for your question, if you need to know anything else, feel free to ask! God bless you!

    Great job Lizzie. I bet you’re pickin’ like JD now honey. I bought a banjo about 18 months ago. I bought Bill Evans book Bluegrass Banjo for Dummies because… well you know, first and could play everything in 3 months but that was after 50 years of Classical and Jazz guitar so had a very good right hand a could play all the Rolls with little difficulty now there is little repertoire I can’t cope with having obtained Earls method and Song book BUT also Janet Davis’ Back up banjo too.
    I am so glad I got me a Pan. It’s the humanly accessible instrument on Earth that makes playing the conceptions of boys Carolina a pure joy. I got and trade in my Nationality quick. What a wonderful instrument hey

I also have a few lessons and tutorials, and I'm going to continue posting instructional videos. :) You could start with a less expensive banjo, and see if you like it. If you do, you could get something else.
