	glennc says: 3/23/2011 8:44:45 PM Thanks Vince. Well, multitasker a few ways. I've played guitar and keys most of my life, but not bluegrass or oldtime, it's been rock/r&b/blues. My first instrument was actually oboe and I was classically trained. Couple years ago I took a hard right and picked up a banjo, mando, and a fiddle. I found BHO at the time trying to figure out what were decent entry instruments and what weren't. Making decent progress with banjo and mando, and a little more recently some progress on the fiddle (but I still suck :). On banjo, I am learning clawhammer and scruggs-style, and working on old-time, celtic and bluegrass, pretty much in that order. I still don't care for the picks too much. :-) I am using Ken Perlman's everything book and Tom Hanway's book and a lot of downloaded tabs. I have the Scruggs book but haven't put that much time into it yet. Little by little. I'm pretty sure that multitasking helps me get more practice in, I work on something every day. If something doesn't seem to be going well, I just move to something else. So it stays fun, which is the only goal I have in mind, really.
