Rodney - Big Fingers Can Pick Rolls: Bile Them Cabbage Down

[SB47ab16]

There not fingers, more like pork sausages . i thought my hands were big.

Great job Rod keep it up.

I too have huge fingers and Im having a terrible time fretting. Many chords I cant nail even once clearly so the keep practicing advice seems a bit pointless. Any advice?

@TheDogLearner It could also be that you need to have the nut adjusted on your banjo. Many of the inexpensive Asian banjos have the strings a little closer together at the nut end. Sometimes there is room to space out the strings a little bit more and you can just have a new nut put on the banjo. As far as practicing, it's a matter of how and where you fret. If you can get it once, you can get it again. If you really want it, don't give up!
