I keep returning to this book and repracticing it. This is such a thorough drop thumb practice workout.

I really appreciated the structure of working on this book and have felt a little adrift since "finishing" it a few months ago.

I am picking up working on Buzzard Banjo now along with some other things. I like to feel there is a goal and can show myself gaining on it.

	Clawdan says: 7/5/2018 9:22:55 AM Good to hear! I have written a backwards drop thumb exercise to compliment it. What I mean is that in the book, the drops are on beats one and three. In the reverse one, they are on two and 4. Try that on your own or I can post it here. I find it kind of like an Escher print and it really changes the texture of the exercise. As always, your choice of tuning and try it with chords. Enjoy! Play Nice, Dan
