Playing Banjo with another player is exciting especially when you are the weaker picker. The last time I have felt a rush like that was when I was learning to fly! I am very happy that I can fly much better than I can pick a banjo!

I can get through it very slowly then when I try to play it with any speed it gets sloppy and the pulls don't sound good at all and I fumble around..
