You know those banjo pickers that know exactly where to put their fingers? I want you to be one, too. We continue our Waypoints Study where I systematically teach you the banjo neck in a fun and memorable way! You know the G chord, now let's learn the "waypoints" on the banjo neck for the C chord and how to use them!

    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

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

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
