Be An Educated Banjo Buyer

banjo beginner

In this lesson

Buying an instrument can be an intimidating process, especially when you don't know the folks you're buying from! In this series, Jake gives us an education on the basics to look and listen for so that you can have confidence while shopping! (Or, you can just buy from my General Store and not worry about it.)

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
