Because of people like you, Youtube is a GREAT PLACE!

Ok, so I made a youtube account just so I could ask you a question. :)

I picked up my mother's old banjo and decided I'd learn to play.

I've never touched a stringed instrument, but I've played the piano.

Your first lesson just confused me, but when I watch this lesson it just clicked.

I've always learned better with instructions on paper, so no surprise.

Anywho, I was wondering if you had pdf's or something so I could print out those tablatures. It's hard to practice in my room.

This was really good for an idiot like me. :D Easy for an begginer and very useful!

Great video! It's my third day of owning my first-ever Banjo (first-ever instrument really) and I'm having a blast.

I'm having lots of trouble fretting with these fat fingers though. Hopefully lots of practice will solve that problem.

What are your thoughts about the "Murphy Method" for learning Banjo?

[westwind1957]

I thing the Murphy method is great! She does not use tab and shows everything by string, fret number etc. so the song is memorized as you go. Its good to learn by tab, and by written note as well. Each method uses a different skill set. I do not think it is good to get locked into just one way of learning the banjo. There are many good books available that are written in tab, but it is very helpful to be able to learn by watching too. Good Luck! hope this helps

tabs are good, but they never put any rolls in them, like if its forward roll or anything. Thats the only thing i dont care to much for
