Still trying

Posted by kb2dhg on Thursday, June 9, 2011

Well I am on my 5th month of learning and still feel that I am never going to get it?

My coordination seems to be taking time? As I said in past post, I do have a motor control problem in my right hand (i am right handed) BUT it seems to be getting a bit better? I think playing the banjo is great theripy?

Anyway, I am looking for a better tab for Cripple Creek. I am having trouble learning the middle section of the song  does anyone have a better tab?

Also how long should it take to really get in sinc right hand working with the left? I practice everyday on an avrage of 1 -2 hours.

 

Even though I have not yet accompleshed what to me is good playing, I am so addicted to picking!  Just love to play no matter how bad I am...

yea! that s what it takes, just keep at it, i am at 3 1/2 months and I am a very slow learner, but some times even open G sounds like music to my ears, just what they said, have fun and forget about it, u are learning and what else could you be doing watching all the crazy stuff on TV and piddlin, better to be picking,it is what makes us old guys happy , and i have n t drove my wife crazy yet, she thinks it sounds good, and my father who is 83 thinks it is cool, no pain no gain. i guess I start thinkn about doing something different in a year or so!!!
