Sonny Osborne's Jesse James - Taught by Matthew Dalzell

Nice picking. Don't see many lefty banjo players. I'm lefty but playing stringed instruments is the one thing I do right-handed. I wondered how the heck you got the two wear patterns, especially the one directly under the bridge, until I watched. I've never seen anyone anchor two fingers spaced so far apart. It seems like it would create excess tension in the hand. Seems to be working for you. Have you tried bring them closer together?

@dponeill2004 haha, yeah, I have tried to push them closer together...it just does not work for me. Sorry if you think it is weird...that is just the way my hand works. Kind of in the same tradition as J.D. bending his hand so funny, I guess. Everybody's got their own way.

@dponeill2004 No worries. As long as it works for you, that's what matters. Cheers!
