After 387 hours of Banjo - Another Opportunity to Practice Fixing Bad Habits, Yay (Sarcasm)

Taking a bit of a step back in my progress with Mike Hedding's backup for "Man of Constant Sorrow" in order to correct some chord shapes. Overall, I think I am progressing well, but setbacks like these are inevitable and necessary for better technique down the road. Besides, every time I have to correct a mistake, I get practice at correcting mistakes, right?

You’re sounding good man!! It’s really cool to see the improvement through the videos; keep it up

Thanks Mack. How long have you been playing? How old were you when you started? I feel I have quite a road ahead of me before I get to your skill level. For now, I am enjoying the journey, so I am not too concerned how long it will take to reach the destination.

@@2000HoursofBanjo thanks man. I started playing a little over 3 years ago, when I was 15. Don’t get discouraged when you see more advanced (read: people who’ve practiced more than you) players online; I used to do that and it just killed my drive to practice. Keep learning and practicing every day and you’ll progress way faster than you expect.
