My progress with the Kitchen Sink version of Arkansas Traveler from Dan's book. Still a ways to go especially with the B-part and keeping the tempo at an even speed.

	AndyW says: 1/26/2018 12:05:13 PM Well Done Ninja. Great to see you not needing tablature there. I think you've got more basic speed than myself. To keep tempo at an even speed I suggest practising with a metronome. Lower the speed until you can play perfectly. Then notch it back up. (you can get free metronome apps).
	The_Banjo_Ninja says: 1/27/2018 12:24:55 PM Thanks Andy! I’ve been meaning to get a good loud metronome. I’ve tried a few apps but can’t hear them over my banjo. Or I guess I could try playing softer... haha

	AndyW says: 2/9/2018 12:59:56 AM Even my standalone metronome is difficult to hear when my banjo isn't stuffed/muted. Maybe a cheap bluetooth speaker combined with an app would work to get the loudness you require.
