It doesn't matter if you are beginner, expert, or if you are from the South, North, or mountains or valleys. What matters is the public sharing of knowledge. The comments I have read on this poor fellows video sicken me and cause me to lose hope in humanity. You folks should be making polite suggestions to this man and thanking him for giving us his time. I just want to learn Banjo, not read other people putting others down for their efforts.
