Cripple creek and beyond

From Paul Wulf on 12/11/2012 7:28:53 AM

Finally decided at age 64 to play the banjo. A good setup on your instrument and a good teacher are invaluable. Also if you can leave the banjo out you will be more likely to practice.

Good Teachers are very hard to find...even bad ones are hard to find!

Welcome, Paul. I went 4 months before getting a time slot with a teacher in my town... Hope I'll finally learn something!

I had a really bad teacher when I tried to learn 25 years ago. Finding a good teacher in North Carolina may be easier.

Scooter. I had both of my banjos up to John for a setup and spent of couple of great hours in conversation with him.... really a great guy. I have a teacher here in W-S who comes from Boone once a week to teach. Thanks for the info. Paul
