I'm still picking and its getting easier, but sometimes I get so frustrated as this is obviously a life long journey! There's so much to think about and progress is a little slow as I can still only get a half hour a day practice.

Still, I am really enjoying myself and will carry on trying to learn as much as I can.

Good luck all and keep on pickin!

crypto says: 12/18/2013 6:01:42 AM Well I definitely have this problem. I travel a lot and can go for a week or two without picking up the banjo. It might help to focus on the trip and not the destination, in other words enjoy what you can do now. I can't find a banjo teacher either so I am just using dvds and books.
