Rookie Challenge Video Uploaded

From AndyW on 12/28/2017 8:12:32 AM

After being zonked out for 5 days with a virus I've now come to.

With no time left to practice I've just rushed out a video recording into the rookie challenge. 

I'm the one with the beard and brown cardigan.

Solid timing, good position playing, not even looking. Really smooth transition between the A and B parts

You are well along for six months and should be proud.

Nice. I've also been playing for about 6 months now. I should sit down and try to learn Arkansas Traveller for real. It seems to be one of those banjo standards thats in every learn to play clawhammer books. I feel as though I should know it better than I do (same goes for Old Joe Clark)

Well done! I’ve only been playing since July of 2017 also. I don’t sound anywhere near that good!
