Hi Guys,  Please update your Bio on your home page to let the rest of us know what your background is with stringed instruments e.g. what you've played and for how long.  We all know there are "Naturals" out there who whip through all the tunes and leave the rest of us in the dust.  Some of us may have difficulty grasping the reality of learning to play this wonderful instrument.  "It's OK to look at your fingers".  Augie

I read posts from beginners who are super frustrated that they can't play better than they do. And, gosh they have been playing for 4 or 5 weeks. They sometimes get the impression they are slow because some folks write in their post,"I got the DVD last month and a week later I was playing with a band." Most times the guy has played a guitar, mandolin or something else for many years and knows a bit about music and the banjo comes fairly easy for him.

Durn, Hit the mouse button and sent the post before I was ready.

Anyhow, That is the reason for asking for just their playing history in a bio.
