You may not be a banjo picker, but can you "speak" it? It's helpful to know what the banjer picker is serving up! This lesson is mainly for those that do NOT play banjo but want to understand what banjo pickers are doing!

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

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
