Hello all!

I'm hoping that some of you can remember back to when you first picked up the banjo, and give me some feedback :)

The clip is low quality (as is my playing) due to the fact i have a sweatshirt stuffed in the RK (to keep the neighbors happy), and I used the built in mic on my laptop to record this. I recorded the clip today, the one week anniversary of my playing debut :) Here is the link:

I know the timing is goofy, and flubbed notes abound, but since I don't have a picker in the neighborhood to bounce this off of, I thought I could ask you folks if this is acceptable for a low-timer, or if I should throw the thing out the window!

Thanks!

Russ

Dam you are doing much better than I did after 1 week. Keep up that learning pace and you will be flying. Great effort.

Thanks for the feedback guys, certainly gives me incentive to keep working at it!

dubtom...sorry I stole the RK out from your grasp, but I think Andy might have another! :)
