Thanks for the add!! Great playing!
Cheers

Just received the two copies of "What About You" I recently ordered and I must say that each one of the 4 tracks is a joy to my ears. Kira is a vocalist extraordinaire and the guys backing her are no slouches either! Lovely retro package design too and the mono mix is superb.

Thanks for all the great music and your superb playing. A joy to watch/hear. All the best.

Earl may have wrote Foggy Mountain Breakdown, but you have mastered it...absolutely brilliant. This gave me some motivation to knock the dust off my banjo :)

Thanks! Glad you like.

No banjo exercises will help without a banjo. I know people sell devices to strengthen fingers, but they seem to stress out the fingers more if you ask me. I would get a tiny 5 string that you can knock around and travel with, but make sure it has a mute. People in hotels hate the neighbor next door with a banjo. LOL

Hi Rob...add me to your already long list of fans. I've dabbled in guitar for many years, and wish I'd found a resource like this a long time ago. I recently 're-discovered' an very old 5 string banjo that has been in the family for many years, and its giving me a lot of fun right now! Finding the leap from the final PCB to PCC on Cripple Creek a bit steep, but its progressing faster than I'd ever imagined it would.

Are there any exercises (apart from practice!) that you could suggest to help increase right hand speed/dexterity without having a banjo available? Odd question perhaps, but I travel a lot, a spend days 'banjo-less'.

Many thanks again for your generosity in share all this. Jim

thanks a lot, rob ...for the wonderful tunes and the tips. i totally agree with what you're saying and kinda came to something like this approach myself recently, working out the chord changes by ear for christmas carols and arranging harmony lines for two mandos (third above). now to transpose them. christmas carols, btw, are great 'goofy little melodies'. ...really enjoy your playing!

Hey Rob,
Thanks for visiting.

Hope to learn more about guitar from your videos!

Hi Rob! I got your skype message! I think Oregon is a few hours behind Michigan, huh? I am headed to CA on Sunday for a family vacation. I will be back on the 18th. Maybe we can work something out after that.

I posted a new CAAS video. You are in it! Your guitar playing is awesome! Can't wait to learn more from you.
